T208 Cullivan’s Fireside Overview
The 1911 T208 Cullivan’s Fireside set is extremely rare. Cards celebrated the 1910 World’s Champion Philadelphia Athletics team.
Fronts included a color picture with the player’s name and team printed in blue ink at the bottom. The back had an advertisement for Cullivan’s Fireside tobacco, indicating that one was included in each package of their plain scrap tobacco.
The backs also identified the maker, Thomas Cullivan Tobacco, and the company’s location at 610 Turtle Street in Syracuse, New York.
Numerous other sets recognized the Athletics’ championship team as well. The exact same pictures were also used for the E104-1 Nadja, the D359 Williams Baking, and the D359 Rochester Baking sets. All four of the sets are relatively scarce.
