Jon Canfield's Baseball Related Cigarette and Tobacco Packs

This obscure set was produced in 1910 by the American Tobacco Company and packaged inside Red Sun Cigarettes. The set totals 75 cards of players from the Southern Association teams. The backs of these cards show an advertisement for Red Sun Cigarettes as well as a “sunburst” type pattern with the words “First Series 1 to 75 Subjects”. There were, however, no other series ever produced.

I have yet to locate an original Red Sun cigarette box. The Red Sun cigarette pack pictured above was actually a remake issued in the 1980’s. The graphics are the same from an original Red Sun cigarette box. Should you have any information regarding this set, please contact me.
