Rare 19th C. American Eagle Tobacco “Chew National League Fine Cut” Trade Card.
Lot 31. Rare 19th C. American Eagle Tobacco “Chew National League Fine Cut” Trade Card. Magnificent trade card, arguably the most desirable of all the baseball trade cards. Calvert Lith. Co. of Detroit produced this card, which has artwork that the U.S. Postal Service re-used in a 42-cent 2008 stamp honoring Jack Norworth’s “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.” In printed advertising on the back and in a stamp on the front, the card promotes T. C. Chittenden, a retailer in Watertown, NY. The American Eagle brand also is advertised. The front of the card is a beauty; vg-ex. The back has glue stains; all of the type is readable, with one word light. Great example accompanied by a canceled copy of the 2008 stamp.
Winning Bid $291.
