1st..thanks for reminding me, I had forgotten about Plank being in the T5 & T208 sets. Hey, I recently
went to my 50th HS reunion....my mind is getting overloaded.

2nd..A suggestion to you in tracking down Virginia Extra cigarette packs (or related items)....check-out
British ephemera. As is obvious, the brand "Peoples Tobacco Co., Ltd." tells us that it was part of the
British-American Tobacco, Ltd. consortium. Sometime back I saw an item which listed 1919 prices for
exported cigarettes to England, which included Virginia Extra cigarettes sold in Tins containing 1000
cigarettes for 20 Shillings ($2.60). Shipped directly from Gulfport seaports.
