Dating to the late 1800s "Sure Hit" Smoking Tobacco inner box label depicting a hitter and catcher. Baseball artwork was frequently utilized on cigar boxes to spur sales occasionally with player endorsement and typically without. The label has been graded by GCLGS (Global Cigar Label Grading Service " a company that grades and preserves cigar label art in a thin plastic holder similar to the sportscard grading companies. The grade assessed is 5 "FINE " which implies soiling foxing creases or edge wear to very minor degrees as well as minor tears that do not reach the image.
