Is this a new highest price record?
If any Penz tin I've seen deserved to wear the crown,

it was this one!

That is insane! It would be interesting to know what area of the world it was sold to.

Yes, and that was a "no international sales" auction, it may have fetched even more if it was within grasp of wealthier wallets from the Far East...
...btw, is there a new policy regarding intl. sales as far as baccy on ebay goes?

I've noticed many sellers lately add that disclaimer...

I saw that when it was in the $200s and figured it would skyrocket. Love watching the market forces at work.

When was the last time you saw a tin like this? For obsessed collectors, truly rare items generate truly stratospheric prices. I doubt that the tin will be opened and smoked, but, you never know.

i'd smoke it. still cheaper than a box of premium cigars, and it would last just as long.

It doesn't really surprise me that it went for that much. To many people 400 bucks is like 4 bucks to me and you and we wouldn't think twice about spending 4 bucks for something we liked.

Wow!
I bet if he had put in all caps "I SHIP TO CHINA" he could have got another $200 out of the deal.
Good for him tho. It's a rare tin, of a sought after blend.. great combination to make a great profit!

Ridiculous. It's good but not THAT good. Now,, to go find that unopened tin of Mixture 7o from 1959 in the basement. That should bring a cool $13.00.

It's an old and rear example of well thought of blend, so the price doesn't surprise me. Not that I'd buy it but a collector may well believe it to be so rear it had to be part of the collection. I think Jesse pegged it, it will be in that can forever.

That is a nice looking tin...in good shape and I love the basic artwork. I don't know guys, sometimes I don't even want to part with 4 dollars.
