As Leon knows (since he has put up with hundreds of emails from me), I have tried in the last couple months to get a good handle on the prices of these packs... (Cig packs are my little angle to the hobby) When i purchase these packs, I pay special attention to Factory/District/State and tax stamps. I use the Springer's Guide to Cinderella Stamps in order to effectively date the packs, as well as a completely issuing chart I comprised to make sure that the cigs were manufactured in a corresponding factory. The Piedmont in the auction was correct, however the Obak seems to be far off... (There was no tax stamp present and Obak never printed Factory info on the packs - Obak's were, however, manufactured at 2 different plants and only Factory #171 packaged cards)

Unrelated - what does the board feel about the final prices for the Kalamazoo and the Yum Yum?
