*Common is a term that is often misunderstood, even by experienced
collectors. The general meaning is that there were several thousand
labels found of a particular title, e.g. "The Round-Up". This doesn't mean
the label should not be collected or enjoyed for its beauty - it just means
that if you checked with 5 cigar label dealers - all 5 would have that title
available. Of course all 5 dealers may have a "Fellow Citizen" available
as well but only 1 label not 1,000 as would be the case with "The Round-Up".
Some of my favorite labels are considered common - beauty by any other name...
