Four cards from the interesting and attractive T80 Military series. Featuring extremely colorful beautiful illustrations of military figures from around the world each surrounded by an ornate gold border this 50-card set was issued between 1910 and 11 in packages of cigarettes. The cards can be found with Lenox Old Mill Tolstoi Uzit and Cairo Monopol advertising backs. Each of these four cards include the Old Mill ad on the reverse thought by many collectors to be the most difficult back variety available in this issue by far. Sadly as is the case with many of the tobacco cards in the Rudy Strejc Collection each of these cards has suffered from border trimming and thus have each been graded AUTHENTIC by SGC. Still the cards present very well described as follows: Cavalry Officer/France (significant creasing across the card surface) Colonel of Infantry/US (Bold color strong uncreased appearance despite the border trimming) Italian Infantry (creased upper-left area otherwise strong) and Mounted Infantry/China (particularly attractive card minor edge and corner chipping otherwise strong and vivid).Despite the trimming this is an excellent grouping of scarce nonsports cards. From the Rudy Strejc Collection.
