T330-2 Piedmont Art Stamps Overview
The T330 Piedmont Art Poster stamps set included seven different series, including a baseball series, T330-2. Other series included stamps of animals, birds, fish, flags, soldiers, and nations.
Fronts included that imagery from the T205 issue with the Piedmont Art Stamps name and a white border around the edges. Meanwhile, the backs included a special offer. In exchange for 25 Piedmont coupons, the company would send the collector a Piedmont album for their stamps.
These stamps were created by the Liggett and Myers Tobacco Company. Coupons for the album redemption program were to be sent to them at a New York address before the expiration date of June 30, 1915.
As stated on the back, a total of 100 cards were included in the set. However, more than that have already been discovered. While a number larger than indicated is included in the set checklist, though, these are quite rare with even low-grade commons typically earning more than $100.
While classified as a tobacco issue, the set could also go under the S-Card classification since is a stamp set.
