1910 T218 Mecca Tobacco Cards - The Aviators.
The 1910 T218 Mecca tobacco cards feature four pioneering aviators—Chas K. Hamilton, Arch Hoxsey, Ralph Johnstone, and J.B. Moisant—each of whom played a crucial role in the daring early years of aviation. Hamilton was known as “The Flying Man” for his record-setting cross-country flights. Hoxsey and Johnstone, both members of the Wright Exhibition Team, pushed the limits of altitude and aerial stunts before tragically dying in crashes just days apart in 1910. Moisant, another early aviation daredevil, was celebrated for being the first to fly a plane with a passenger across the English Channel. These cards capture the fearless spirit of early flight and serve as poignant reminders of the risks these aviators took in pushing human achievement skyward.

Sometimes vintage non-sports cards can be a real cool hand.😎
