Sets in my Collection #10 1933 Useful Birds of America Series 6

The next to last installment of the Useful Birds of America series (in my collection, anyway) is the next set in my collection chronologically. This one features the same design as all the others, and I suspect possibly some of the artwork was reused as well, as some of them in this series have a 1915 copyright date.

It is my first set from the 1930s, which is the decade that really saw trading cards move from from being inserted with cigarettes to being inserted with candy; it is also when they moved from being marketed to adult connoisseurs to kids, something the hobby still hasn't truly shaken.

I have 9 of the 15 cards from this set, or 60%. Not bad for a set that's 82 years old!

Most of my cards from this series are actually in pretty good condition, luckily.

You can see the full checklist, and front and back scans of all my cards, on the Trading Card Database.

As a side note, the 1-year anniversary of my starting Cardboard History came and went and I totally zoned out on it. Not only did I not realize it until 2 days later, I even made a post on the 1-year anniversary and didn't even think to say anything. Duh! (11/22/2014-11/22/2015)
