Hi everyone, I hope everyone is having a great holiday so far.

I was hoping to get some help identifying the following cigarette box. I believe it held the T204 line of baseball cards, but there is so little information out there, I can't say for sure if this box was part of that era.

Is this 1) rare & 2) hold any value?

See pics below (I included a quarter for reference of scale).

Thanks for your time

There is a vintage board that I'll look back up tonight and reference you to once I'm back at the house unless someone does so prior. I'm bit sure of worth bit it's cool.

This is from an auction in August.

And yes, it's T-204.

The cards that came in this box were the very first embossed cards ever made. They made reprints in the 2008 topps insert set but the reprints are not embossed.

Pretty nice find.

Didn't Topps put T-204 inserts into like a 2002 or 2004 product as well?

Whoops. Found it. 2002 Diamond Kings.

Never seen the diamond kings but I am pretty sure it was in 2008 topps but you are right for you looked it up and I did not.

Congrats on the great find....I've been thinking of starting a card box collection for a couple of years. Since these are nice and small, my wife probably won't mind me collecting these (.....LOL).
