This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/28/2021

The N532 Series is a series of different sized cards that all share a common set of (25) actresses.

The cards can be found with advertising on the front and the back, just the front or just the back for different advertisers. No less than (16) different tobacco advertisers are cataloged in the American Tobacco Cards book by Mitchell and Forbes--some of which are relatively easy to find and some of which are prohibitively difficult to find.
