Original PB Pack Opened?

I will take a better photo of the cards backs and the back of the red coupon! I'll post it directly to the ebay listing...within the hour!

I can tell you off the top of my head the coupon back doesn't have the list of gifts like the Piedmont coupon does. It might say something like the coupons with 1908 expiration dates are still valid through 2013.

Okay the new picture is listed! And Joshua's post about the Tolstoi pack...very interesting. It makes me think about the QC inside the tobacco factories...and the women or immigration laborers they had stuffing these packs. I think they grabbed what they want & threw them inside. I also don't think they were too concerned about corners of the cards either! HA!

If they only knew what they would be worth years down the road. These poor people were stuffing packs literally with thousands of dollars & didn't even know it!

Thanks, I appreciate it. I just checked it out.
I'd love to see more coupons from other brands, if anyone has any (maybe for another thread?). Anyhow- thanks again.

Cerberus! How's everything out west? Did I tell you...the engagement fell through!! I am a free man...living it up down in the Pittsburgh area still.

That pack is gorgeous...the tax stamp is screaming "rip me open"!

Sorry (?) that your engagement fell through, Joe. You've always got the Steelers, however.

The PB pack has always screamed to me: "Don't you dare even think about breaking my seal, because you know damn well that whatever card is in here (if any), is so thrashed from rot and product stains after 100 years+, that you'd be lucky to get it graded "Authentic."

Glad all is well.

Ahahahaha...yes, thank you, all is well and sometimes it's funny how things happen for good reasons...and I tell everyone no way I can't root for the Steelers I drank Lake Erie water for too long!

Your pack sure is a beauty. Are you selling it seriously or is 12k your breaking point to let it go? HA! We all know everything is for sale & has a price!

Some of the tobacco fell out of this one & it is dry as a bone. I think the staining of cards would take place in the first couple years while the tobacco was still fresh...definitely not while dry. And the coupon looks to take the majority of the product & packing abuse.
