5 Cents Yellow Cab Tobacco Sticker (TL9)

I LOVE Yellow Cab because I grew up in New York and have such fond memories of those happy yellow cars – they were gigantic with little extra fold down jump seats in the back.  It was actually Abraham Lincoln who inadvertently created the spectacular industry of cigar boxes and labels.  He decided that the best way to raise money was to impose luxury taxes on items like cigars.  Naturally the cigar industry thwarted that tax process, dodging it endlessly by continuing with the customary process of shipping cigars in barrels of 2,500.  The tax inspectors were worthless at counting such massive numbers, and, as the government dodged and weaved, cigar makers did the same.  Then Lincoln decided to end the problem by requiring all cigars to be packaged in lots of 25, 50, 100, or 250, and as a result, the cigar box industry was created.  There are lots of reasons to love Lincoln – I’m delighted he created this artwork with his need for taxes.

The image you see is exactly what we use to produce your bespoke sticker.  All stickers are custom made.  (We include 1 free GypsyFaith sticker per order.)

All GypsyFaith die-cut vinyl stickers are printed on glossy, premium, extra thick vinyl.  We then seal the image in clear laminate so that it will be particularly resistant to fading or tearing.  We will only sell the absolute top end of any particular product on our site.  Our intention, as we developed this product, was to make it as durable and valuable as our magnet products.

Images used to make our stickers are scanned at 9600dpi resolution, reduced to 960dpi for production.

SIZE:  This sticker is exactly 1.033 x 7 inches OR 2.625 x 17.378 cm.

It ships in a photo-type mailer to prevent bending.
