When you receive it, please make sure there isn't a card stuck inside. Maybe even a baseball treasure! Leon, how many baseball subjects are known besides your Baker.

There are 3 total cards known. Baker and Bigbee, and then Gardner was recently discovered.

Does anyone know the whereabouts of the Bigbee? There is a picture of it in Lipset's encyclopedia, but Lew hadn't seen it personally and didn't know who owned it.

Sold Baker with the collection. As said, 2 are known and there is a xerox of another. Some day a stack of them will show up

When you say a xerox, you literally mean a copy of one someone has posted up? I believe in rarity and admiration, but I don't see many posting Ty Cobbs and Honus Wagner t206's in their man cave in black and white photos and getting much kick out of it. This is intriguing to me that the rarity exists and is sought after (unknown to me personally), but I also find it kind of funny that someone took a xerox of a card and is now known in the same circle as one of the people with originals...

Share more on this if you could please Leon. Thank you in advance.

He's not saying the xerox copy has any value, he's saying it's proof that there is a third example. Back in the days before the internet, people used to mail cards or photocopies across the country to the people who were compiling checklists and identifying card variations.

Can anyone ID the years of these Cigarette packs?

I MAY be able to pick them up. Should I?

Thanks,

Fred

Fred = They are newer, not too scarce and not worth too much. I would leave them be.

They have a little value just not much.
I am still trying to get over the Fans Cigarette pack discovery. IT really is a great find.

Thanks again Leon. Since I originally posted, the pack arrived and I have it in hand now. The colors are obviously much more vibrant than the original photo I posted.
