Important Notice: Please note that the format of this auction differs from a traditional eBay Live auction in that only absentee bids are accepted. There is no live "bidding on the close" in which to participate. All lots offered in this auction will close at exactly the same time, as opposed to a traditional one at a time closing of lots, and therefore there is no live "one lot at a time" bidding close in which to participate. Your left bids will compete with all other left bids by auction participants. Bids may be placed on the eBay system at any time prior to 9:00 PM EST, May 1, 2004. No bids will be recognized or accepted when the eBay Live "live bidding applet" is run early in the morning of May 2, 2004 strictly for the purpose of officially registering and recording the final auction results.

1910 Plow Boy Tobacco Archer and Sheckard

Two cards from this unusual sepia-toned 1910 cabinet card issue which features Cubs and White Sox players, issued by the Spaulding & Merrick Tobacco Company to promote their Plow Boy Tobacco brand. Regionally issued in the Chicago area, Plow Boy Tobacco cards were issued with two different advertising reverses. Archer is in Vg-Ex condition, with a little general wear to the corners but no creases (simple ad back variety). Sheckard was apparently long ago saved in a scrapbook, and while the back is very clean, it does have some very minimal scrapbook paper residue on the reverse (smaller than the size of a dime, and very likely removable), and a tiny surface chip to the obverse on Sheckard's bat, otherwise Vg-Ex (more elaborate ad back style with list of premiums offered). Two cards. Reserve $300. Estimate $500/$1,000.
