Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Average. This is not a limited edition or promotional pack, but its older production period, preserved original film, and classic design make it valuable in the context of the LD brand's history. For collectors of older Russian or US licensed series, this is an interesting example.
-
Condition assessment: Unopened, original film, minor stains on the outer layer - overall condition is good.

Historical data and popularity:
The LD mark became particularly popular in Russia in the 1990s and 2000s. Older packs with the name "Liggett-Ducat" are no longer in use today, as the mark has been simplified to "LD". This makes this pack interesting for collectors in the transitional period.
