is there any chance that this pack does indeed contain a card. without a tax stamp how does one date the pack and even more so be able to state that there is a card inside |

The seller of that auction has a history of "building" vintage cigarette packs. He once sold a homemade Cycle "rice paper" pack and a Piedmont "unopened" pack that has the second last digit of year erased. |

The chances of a baseball card being in there are slim and none. And slim already left town. As is the case with an unopened pack from taht era, even if there is a card, the chances of it being a basbeall card are marginal at best since most of the cards issued during that time were non-sports related. |

Everyone has already pretty much summed up the possibility of a card being inside... It is a nice condition box though! As for the tax stamps, I do not believe Pirate's were issued with tax stamps since they were distributed over-seas. Ben - as for your question of a Pirate baseball card... Alan Hagar had one I saw years back. I believe it was auctioned off in one of his auctions about 1996 or so. In fact, there was also the Pirate pack the card came in also auctioned off - I remember the pack selling in the $500 range - have no idea about the card... I believe the card was of Evers though (However I could be wrong!) |

Pirate backs are very rare in any form because they were made for overseas marketing. About a year ago I saw and stupidly did not buy a Pirate back non-sports card at a local show. |

I see them on ebay consistently, almost always in groups, and under $5 each. Add a search and you will be surprised (I used to search for them). |

I think everybody already knows that this pack is not from the 1912 era because of the cellophane wrapping. I just wanted to add that I bought an unopened pack from Mastro Auctions two years ago being sold by John Spencer from Fullcount baseball Cards. On the top of my pack there is no words just a tight fold. Also, on the bottom it does not read "Pirate" but says: Established W.D. & H.O. Wills, Bristol & London Bitish American Tobacco Co. LTD, Bristol, Liverpool & Virginia Successor, Made Temporarily in USA. The front and back have the same picture but on the back it does not have the writing on the side. Just a quick note to help out other collectors. |
