This came today. It may not be the best one in existence, but it's the best one I've ever seen. It flew under the radar for the same price as a copy from Qcards earlier this year that was trimmed on 4 sides, had tape on the folds, and back paper loss.

super! what year and issue is it, as i have never seen it before, was it a premium?

The card is #21 in the T70 Historical Events Series.

Why is this card a tri-fold card and the other T-70's not ? ?
Are there any other T-70's like this ?

That T70 Declaration of Indepedence is just a spectacular card, front AND back...I need to learn more about the set. Do the inauguration cards have the speeches printed on the reverse?

Well, after looking at the sample in the Gallery, I must now say that the one I picked up is the nicest example I've ever seen FOR SALE

The triple-folders are very difficult, more so in nice condition because of the fold of course. It's unique within the T70 set - the other cards have regular backs.

Hello to All ,

Not in the best shape , but a nice addition to the collection .

A different kind of acquisition:

I just found out about the T-227 Series of Champions Ralph Mulford auto racing card on Ebay last week. Didn't want a graded card at $300. so didn't bid (someone else did). Advertised in the B/S/T for the card, but no response. Last night, was going through some of the cards I bought some 25~40 years ago which I had not identified, and FOUND the Mulford card! At least now I know what it is!

Still trying to find other auto racing cards from non-racing sets.

D18 Bird Pictures with album....

Just received this as a gift from my wife for our 1st Wedding Anniversary , lets hope she enjoys the drill & bits i bought her .

Not really cards but it can be found in the white Benjamin Guide 1930-60 - also the makers of Big Chief Wahoo matchbook gum. The 2nd pic is the display I'm assuming would come with the box.

wow. looks like a 1929 date on cover? I love that you are looking for things. I hate that you find them interesting album - any other information?

Henry,
It's actually a 1923 copyright date. Unlike most bread albums from this period - this one is like the tobacco albums in that it reproduces the artwork from the cards (it is not used to mount them).

The album is also large - 12.5 x 10 inches. You obtained it by collecting 48 cards and taking them (or mailing them) to the bakery.

Another interesting bit is cards 1-24 have red backs while 25-48 have blue backs.

Sweet (no pun intended) Pick up Jeff!

In today's mail...



Always looking for bread cards if anyone has some for sale!

Is that a set of 50 like the A&G set or a set of 25? I have 25 of those from the bread set but wondering how many are in the set......I'm assuming 50..............

Tom,
I believe there are supposed to be 50 in the set like the tobacco cards. I think the designation is D8.

Boston Confectionery Butterfly...........
Never seen one before..........

These arrived today and complete my R8-1 and R8-2 sets.
