When I'm bored, I hit up ebay. You can shop for hours and find anything you can think of. Well, I found some tobacco cards.
No. Not any T206 Magee or Wagners.... but better. Think Benchwarmer, but 70 years ago.

I was going to do a nice write up on this set, but in researching it, I came across another blog that did it much better than I would do. So why not just let you go there and read up on this set? (for those of you that care to , that is.) Here is the LINK. *
Oh, and these lovely cards came to me along with a few others I bought off of the same seller.
.99 cents each. For cigarette cards from 1934. Of really hot women. Jackpot!

Very cool. Are there any center-tri-folds?
I would appreciate Topps' attempt at those cards much more if the included actual center-fold girls instead of 24 random pieces of cloth and wood.
Speaking of wood...
That's an impressive set--just pointed back to this post from a site profile on the #5 blog. (Unfortunately, I don't speak German for helping with the translation.)
