Nearly seventy percent of a complete set of T212-2 Obaks. Definitely a "collector-grade" set the technical assessment of the majority of these cards would be in the F/P range with a large percentage featuring border trimming or spindle holes while many also exhibit creasing or wrinkles and other assorted condition flaws. All are of the 175 Subjects variety. Still this is an excellent representation of a wildly popular set among prewar collectors one with many nuances and interesting characteristics.Also important to note is the large variety of slogans represented in this group. Thirty-two of thirty-five possible back slogans are included in this group. Included are the following slogans: "A New Standard " "Always a Pleasure " "Always With Mouthpieces " "Cigarettes of Quality " "Clean-Pure " "Clean-Wholesome " "Convenient Sensible " "Distinctive " "Everyone Satisfies " "For Exacting Smokers " "High Quality " "Immensely Popular " "Instantly Popular " "Mais Paper Wrapper " "Manufactured to Excel " "Marvelous Blend " "Mild and Pure " "Nothing Like Them " "No Paste Used " "Paper Crimped " "Perfect Aroma " "Perfect Flavor " "Scientifically Blended " "Smoke Obak " "Speak for Themselves " "Stand the Test " "Surpass Imagination " "The Story in The Smoking" "They Excel " "They Please " "Unusual " and "Wonderfully Good." Of all the back varieties the only ones missing are "Delicate Aromatic " "None Better " and the ultra-rare "Just Right."Cards included in the collection: Agnew Ames Armbuster Bennett ("Instantly Popular") Bernard Berry ("Mais Paper Wrapper") Blankenship Boardman Bonner Brackenridge N.
