| | 1880's Allen & Ginter, Duke's Cigarettes Advertising Posters Hit the Auction Block! |
 | | Dallas, Texas: "Every so often in the hobby an early Allen & Ginter or Duke's poster will surface, but to find eight in one collection, particularly in the exceptionally fine condition of the examples in this auction, is just unheard of," said Chris Ivy, Director of Sports Collectibles for Heritage Auction Galleries. |
 | | The collection comes from the estate of two brothers who immigrated to the United States from Sweden in the 1870's, and then returned to their native land to live out their final years some time around 1920. |
 | | Heritage Auction Galleries will present this incredible selection of eight high-grade advertising posters for early tobacco card issues in their upcoming Sports Collectibles Signature Auction, to be held May 6, 2006, in Dallas, Texas. |
