Get an eyeful and then some with this collection of (400+) 1880-1890 actress/actor tobacco cards. This beefy bundle of famous brand N-cards is loaded with mostly 1890 N245 Kinney Sweet Caporal examples, picturing period actresses. Few in number, but somewhat scarcer, are a handful of 1880 N342 Hall Between the Acts cards accounting for the actor segment of this vast selection. Condition is generally crisp and pleasing, ranging (90% VG to VG-EX, 10% lesser). Headliners are (2) N245 cards, with: Lillian Russell; and DeWolf Hopper/Della Fox. Russell was the top actress of her day, and Hopper is famed for popularizing the baseball poem "Casey at the Bat," which he recited 10,000 times.
