Description

Lot of 2, original, 1888 W. Duke & Son Tobacco Company N133 Series Triple Fold Tobacco Cards being from the " State and Territorial Governors, Coats of Arms, etc. " Series. The group include cards for the States of Georgia and Vermont. Each card features a bust portrait of the Governor of the State in 1888 in the central panel flanked on one side by the State Coat of Arms and on the other by a Flag and a view from the State. On the reverse is a map of the state along with extensive text detailing the State's history and statistics (in 1888). Both cards were issued with Turkish Cross Cut Cigarettes. They each measure approx. 4 1/4" x 2 3/4" and are printed on medium weight card stock in beautiful color lithography. The cards have never been graded (they are direct from a local estate) and we are not experts in card grading but have tried to supply good quality scans (see below) and will try to describe the cards as best we can. Each of the cards have light edge wear and minor rounding to the corners. Each have been folded along the vertical lines that separate the 3 panels. They are generally clean both front and back. The Vermont Card has wear at the fold ends and the Georgia Card has a light crease at the upper right hand corner. See the images below for a good representation of the condition of these cards.

Click Here to See Our Items We Have for Sale in the eBay Gallery Important Notes about Shipping Charges and the eBay "Detailed Seller Rating" Star System: The amount quoted for Shipping & Handling is calculated by eBay and is equal to the EXACT amount charged by the Post Office plus a $1.00 "packing fee" - the $1.00 fee is our only compensation for the virgin packing materials we use on all of our professionally packaged boxes as well as our cost for the salaried help that does most of our packing - as I am sure you can see, we make NO profit on the Shipping charges and, in fact, our costs are usually greater than the $1.00 fee. We have NEVER requested Feedback from our customers as we were taught that "fishing for compliments" was impolite but the new eBay Detailed Rating System has put us in a rather tight spot. Most buyers are unaware that eBay bases a monthly fee discount on a Seller's "Star" rating. A monthly average of "4.6 Stars" (in any one of the four "Star" categories) costs us approximately $400 in additional eBay Fees - that's $400 above what we would pay if we had a "4.8 Star" average in all 4 "Star" categories!! As a consequence we hope you do not find us rude to ask that if you are happy with our items, our service, and our packing & shipping please be sure to use the "Star" rating system and remember that a "5 Star" rating is the only way we can qualify for eBay's fee reduction program. , ATTENTION FRIENDS!!!
