Lot # 122: 1909-1912 PX7 Sweet Caporal Domino Discs Collection (50) Including Baker, Brown, Lajoie, and McGraw

This circa 1910 PX7 Sweet Caporal Domino Discs collection of fifty assorted is highlighted by nine Hall of Famers, including Nap Lajoie, Mordecai Brown, John McGraw, and two Frank Baker. The PX7 Sweet Caporal Domino Discs set is one of the most interesting, substantial, and most overlooked of all baseball tobacco inserts. 90% range from Vg to Ex-Mt (averaging Vg-Ex/Ex) and 10% in slightly lesser grades. This collection consists of the following: Two Baker (HOF, Ex+ and Gd-Vg), Bates, Becker, Bergen, Bresnahan (HOF, Ex), Brown (HOF, Ex), Carrigan, Chase (Vg/Vg-Ex), Cree, Devlin, Devore, Dougherty, Doyle, Drucke, Erwin, Groom, Hauser, Hoffman, two Huggins (HOF, Vg-Ex and Vg/Vg-Ex), Hummel, Fromme, Karger, Konetchy, Lajoie (HOF, Gd), Leifield, Marquard (HOF, Ex+), McBride, McGraw (HOF, Vg-Ex+), two McLean, two Merkle, Milan, Mitchell, Mullin, Oldring, Paskert, three Pelty, Rowan, Street/Washington, Suggs, Turner, two White, O. Wilson/New York, and Wolter. Domino Discs are substantially rarer than card issues such as T205 and T206 (or even P2 pins) that were issued with tobacco in the same era. Because cards naturally get most of the attention among tobacco inserts, in our opinion Domino Discs represent one of the best values of all 1910-era baseball tobacco issues. Total: 50 discs.
