Hi-
I am sorry if this post is slightly off topic, but I was wondering if anyone here might be able to help me with the aforementioned empty cigarette packs I recently found at a flea market. They both have a 1910 tax stamp (but from searching old posts it seems like that is no guarantee they once held cards), and they both look similar to ones on Leon's website. Here are my questions:
1. Did one or both of these every hold a sports or nonsports card?
2. If so, where was the card inserted?
3. I realize there is value in these when they are unopened (based on the potential of finding a card), but what happens when they are open (and empty) like these? Do they have any value (beyond the 10.00 I paid for the pair)?
4. Is there only one variation of either of these that might have held a card? I believe the Mecca pack I have has a slightly different design than the one I saw on Leon's website.
I really appreciate the knowledge on this forum and I thank you in advance for your help on these questions.
