Joe - sorry but I'm the bidder who pushed you up in the Dixie (had I known it was you, I wouldn't have bid). I actually picked up the seller's unopened pack of Motor cigarettes.

Hey Jon, looks like three of us had similar interest, I'm happy with the pack and price albeit more than I figured it would go for. Never a problem when bidding against each other, can't go wrong when everyone bids what it is worth to each.

bit busy but couple quick thoughts
the flattened cartons appear to be 100% real without them in hand. They don't hold much value. There are some tangential BB related packs and such but far removed from those that actually could have held cards. The earliest packs he's shown aren't of much demand to most collectors.
As the OP has now come to realize - many of his 1930's - 1950's unopened material that he listed on the 'Bay has attracted solid attention. In fact - although I only collect pre-1920 stuff - I have a sideline of unopened major brand packs and tins collection 30's - 50's - but found quite a few packs he listed that tickled my graphic/subject genes and so I bid. Well I only ended up with 4 of the ones listed so far of the 20 or so I bid on - heavily outbid on Olympics, planes, trains, and automobiles :-). Happy to see a few more people taking interest in this form of ephemera. Competition is at times the seed of further discovery. I did take notice of an early pack shown above that raised some questions - but I've learned to look and think again before broaching the subject publically.

Thanks for the bids and keep them coming. I am learning more and more each day on these cigarette packs, tins ect. Had no real knowledge while buying this just thought they were cool. Glad to know the carton labels are real. Was hoping I hit gold but looks like I struck nickel lol. Just wondering is the low prices on these is because know one really collects them or is there really a lot of them out there that keeps the price down? Maybe if I sell them I should have the buyer smoke the LSD cigarettes might get a higher price lol 😁

Confused. Sweet Caporal were from Kinney Brothers. El Principe De gales were from Havana cigarettes, etc., etc. How is it that one company printed all these starting in 1909 and continued all the way to the 50's doing Lucky Strike and Tareyton? Doesn't make sense. Please explain Jon.
