Auction #7 - February 2021
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/28/2021
The T85 Set was issued with a number of different backs and in subsets that create an interesting collecting opportunity. In addition, the same subjects were used in Tobacco Products in Canada as well as on strip cards in the U.S. as well. To collect all three types for all the different series combinations and permutations is a daunting challenge. The cards are diminutive black and white cards picturing movie stars from the 1920's and 1930's, are numbered on the front in the lower left and have advertising for Strollers cigarettes on the back from the Tobacco Products Corporation of New York City.
This lot is for a near set of the Mack Sennett subseries of the T85 set. The Sennett series pictures bathing beauties and numbers 20 total cards. Cards are numbered 201-220 and are the last cards in the basic T85 Strollers series. This lot includes a near set of the Sennett's, totaling (18/20) of the cards in the series. The only missing pair of cards to be a complete set are numbers 208 and 210. The cards average VG to VGEX condition and are relatively clean.
