Cigarette Cards

[panhead_jim]

I hadn't heard of these before, but I'm sure a lot of other folks have. For those who don't know, they are trading cards that used to be included with each pack of cigarettes, prior to WWII. I've put together a collection of 25 cards (front and back images) from 1929 depicting dirt-track riders. Does anyone on here collect them? The record for a single card sale is $2.8 million...

Ogden's Cigarette Cards

Dear Jim, nice display! I have a framed set of 50 Lambert and Butler cigarettes 'motorcycles' series from the mid-1920s. They are mostly British bikes but also include Harley-Davidson, American-X, Indian and Henderson. There is a photo of them in an older AMCA magazine. Some of these are collectable enough that repro sets have been made.
