adventures and explorers

transport through the ages

the saga of ships

investors and inventions

Actually Galv, I like them all. It's the concept and history of the cigarette card that's most intriguing.

They originally started as blanks used to stiffen the very fragile paper packs that cigarettes came in. Eventually the cigarette companies figured out that they were a great advertising opportunity.

Anyway, what ever the lovely Mrs. cares to part with, I'll gladly offer them a good home. I'm also happy to cover the cost of shipping, assuming we're not talking a steamer trunk full...lol

 

[Galvatron]

Cowboy PM me your mailing details and i will post them on to you...Dont worry about shipping costs there aint that many.....but still a nice amount.

 

[Galvatron]

My wife Bundled them up for you into groups....there is about 30-40 subjects(some small amounts are bundled together)not a mass amount but a nice little collection...heres a picture..

every year when Doral does theirs, i switch to Doral to collect the cards they attatch to the packs. i just wish that they wouldnt use such a strong damn glue, then tend to tear easy..

which reminds me, i think that starts soon...
