I won this Fatima flip book with a bunch of boxing cards in Legendary auction.

Anyone have any info on these .... distribution ?? ... premium ?? .... rarity ??

(and for purely selfish reasons .... value ??).


It's kinda' cool --- still "flippable."








Thanks, Scott

Hi-
Nice item! All I can add is that I have seen one for sale priced at about 40.00 in an antique shop. It has been in that shop for at least five years and I check every six months or so to see if the price is lowered. It might be a great buy at 40.00, but I just never felt comfortable with it. If it was priced under 20, I would have bought it.
I am not an expert in these, so I might be a fool for not buying it at 40.00. The piece is not exactly easy to find in the shop, so it might have been overlooked by other collectors. I think it is a really cool vintage tobacco item regardless.

This one sold recently on eBay for $10.10 + $1.75 media mail:

I paid $35 for the flip book pictured in the middle. Higher than I would usually pay but it is in nearly mint shape and the brand of cigarettes is new to me. BTW - I may be able to purchase 5-6 more of these, Do you feel this is good price?
