Auction #11 - June 2022
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/26/2022
The American Tobacco Company (ATC) issued a number of sets of cards that were primarily bound for distribution overseas--in the United Kingdom to compete against the British American Tobacco Trust in an effort to build sales. The sets picture actresses and many other subjects and are usually cataloged in the T400-T499 series. The T401-2 Actress series is a 300 card set of black and white cards picturing actresses on black and white glossy cards with their name at the bottom front. The card stock is thinner like the majority of cards in the different sets. The backs of the cards are known as "blue net" types which feature the brand "American Tobacco Co" in a round setting with a blue net background. Other variations of this back can be found with green and black printing.
This lot of (20) T401-2 American Tobacco Company (ATC) Actresses (THIN) are in GVG to VGEX condition and mostly clean. The backs of the cards show more wear than do the fronts.
