Here's my two.

I'd love to find a Blackstone, but it seems to be a tough one.

Here are my first four T209s, in the album page that has been their home for the past 25 years.

The pack is empty. Came from Leon’s collection if I remember correctly.

I only know of one other which originally sold on eBay 15ish years ago, was purchased by a collector, traded to another, and now finally belongs to another board member.

One more needed to complete my Contentnea color set.....Booles.








And just for the fun of it, here are some B & W cards........







I sold Tiedeman to Vintagecatcher…...Hi Patrick.

Yes, I believe it was mine before. It still amazes me how inexpensive the super rare packs are compared to other things.

Thank you for the information Jon. I was curious what a Contentnea cigarette looked like. I have seen an Old Mill. Being so close to North Carolina, maybe I’ll luck out an find one someday!

All--

This is an interesting thread, and thanks, Leon, for starting it. A few observations.

Steve--Yes, Blackstone is one of the scarce cards in the set.

Jason--I was fortunate to pick-up the Shag-Stoehr letter, and the other items. They all appear to be from Stoehr's estate since it's his hand-writing on the back of the Spider Clark postcard.

And I have attached a scan of my Contentnea pack that shows both sides. Enjoy!

Cheers,
Mike

Awesome I’m glad to hear you acquired the lot. I thought the day after I inquired about it that you are a Stoehr fan. It was marked as sold and I regretted not giving you the heads up that day. Glad it all worked out. Nice pack as well. Should have know where that one has residing
