Inaugural January 2019 Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 1/27/2019
The T53 Hassan Cigarettes Cowboys set is a great set picturing scenes of the Wild Western U.S. and the cowboys who were famous for inhabiting it. The artworks very nice on these with clean, bright coloring. A rope border outlines the borders of the card. It is believed that a 50th card--available in a couple other versions of the series--titled "An Exciting Game" was pulled from production of the cigarette issue due to the nature of the cowboy using a gun during a card game. While there is no conclusive evidence of this, it is about the only possible explanation given the inclusion of the card subject in the other similar sets of these cards.
The condition breakdown for this near set (46/49) of cards runs between poor and VGEX with the average being about VG-. The three cards that are missing are #20, #37 and #48.
