The N151 Honest Long Cut Actors and Celebrities set is a large set of oversized Duke Tobacco cards that picture Actors and Actresses as well as political, religious and other celebrities. A number of different variations exist within the N151 set and the total number of cards within all those variations is well into the hundreds.

This single N151 Duke Honest Long Cut pictures Josh Billings and has been graded PSA2.5 or Good+. The only flaw is the faintest hint of a surface bend--not really a crease. Corners are strong and the front and back are very clean. Josh Billings was the pen name of 19th-century American humorist Henry Wheeler Shaw. He was a famous humor writer and lecturer in the United States during the latter half of the 19th century. He is often compared to Mark Twain.
