There's some real greatness here. 1911 in particular has multiple great sets; the card chosen was my first tobacco card, an ebay purchase back around 2012. 1911 also saw the first automotive set, someday I will add that to my collection. I also have 1 card from the 1914-15 Sweet Caporal War Pictures set, but I don't know which year it was from. It's a high number, so I suspect 1915.
Billy, these posts continue to astound me. And make me want to acquire some of these gems.
ReplyDeleteGo for it! Collecting non-sports cards is a lot of fun. And much more reasonably priced than sports cards...the problem is locating them, after 100 years they aren't all that common. Check out Open Binders on Ebay.
DeleteReally cool! I am a fan of the animal cards!
ReplyDeleteMe too...I wish they were still as common now as they were then.
DeleteSuch terrific cards. Just like the first comment up top, I think I might try to add some 100-year-old cards like these to my collection.
ReplyDeleteYou should, they are a lot of fun!
DeleteGreat post. Not sure if I've ever seen any of these before, but they're so cool. I think my favorite is the Julius Caesar, but the Zeppelin is pretty awesome too.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really cool set. It has other Romans in it but I have been unable to find a copy of them yet.
DeleteI have that exact same Zeppelin card in my dirigible collection, almost looks like the same condition as mine too.
ReplyDeleteCool! Mine came from COMC.
