(LOT 1198)
Group of (54) Different 1909-12 Sweet Caporal Domino Discs with Eight PSA-Graded Including Johnson, Collins, Wheat & Collins
RARE GROUP OF DISCS!!! Before the emergence of the popular Sweet Caporal Pins issued in 1910, Sweet Caporal Cigarette products began issuing "Domino Discs" (PX7s) with their various tobacco brand products. Distributed between 1909 and 1912, the discs measure approximately 1-1/8" in diameter and include a circular cardboard baseball player representation framed by a medal rim. Currently, some 129 different players are known to exist with their obverse side portrait images reflecting either a red, blue, brown or green background. Their revered name was obtained via the two dominos that are affixed to the reverse side (with the "DOMINO" text appearing directly above). The offered 54 different discs are graded and ungraded, with eight of them PSA-graded as follows: Chase Green PSA 5, Clarke Green PSA 5, Collins Green PSA 5, Griffith Blue PSA 3, Huggins Green PSA 3, Johnson Green PSA 3, Wallace Red PSA 5 & Wheat Red PSA 4. The remaining 46 common discs are ungraded in overall VG+ condition with a few better and worse. They breakdown as follows: 17 Blue, three Brown, ten Green & 16 Red. Great group of 110-year-old Discs.
