Red Man was the first company to issue a national set of tobacco cards since the early 1900's heyday of tobacco cards. These cards were issued from 1952 to 1955 and contained one card per package. This is an original sealed package of Red Man Tobacco from 1955 with Bob Grim's card (American League Player #5) showing and the tab at the bottom intact. The waxed paper tobacco wrapper is in fair condition; one side is unglued and some loose tobacco is falling out. This is truly a rare find -- the first of its kind we have handled.
