Introducing a pair of new 1/1's from Australia
 
Posted By: <b>Jason L</b><p>Finally adequately catalogued, these two Australian-issue cards have just arrived from SGC, and I am thrilled to own the first such cards ever authenticated and graded by either of the major companies. <br />No doubt there are other examples out there, and probably in nicer shape...but for now I will be narrow-minded and enjoy saying I have the only ones! <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br />Incidentally, the Village Maid back is likely very rare, according to my research-to-date.<br />If others have similar, please share!<br /><br />[IMG]<img src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/smallcapdaddy/1916VillageMaidSGC40.jpg">[/IMG]<br />[IMG]<img src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/smallcapdaddy/1916VillageMaidSGC40-back.jpg">[/IMG]<br />[IMG]<img src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/smallcapdaddy/1936AllensBaseballSGC20.jpg">[/IMG]<br />[IMG]<img src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/smallcapdaddy/1936AllensBaseballSGC20-back.jpg">[/IMG]<br />

Posted By: <b>Andrew</b><p>I remember seeing one of your cards in a major auction last year. The following doesn't really address your request, but here are a few to share:<br /><br /><img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/littletreasures/cards/websize/1901%20Wills.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/littletreasures/cards/websize/1925%20Sisler.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/littletreasures/cards/websize/1936%20United%20Tobacco.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/littletreasures/cards/websize/Scan0001.jpg"><br><br>"Take your life in your own hands and what happens?

Posted By: <b>Jason L</b><p>but isn't that just the BEST back?!?!<br />I laughed heartily when I read that for the first time, and...you know what? I still get a little giggly everytime I read it.<br /><br />I really can't imagine wanting to eat or chew anything that tastes like Irish Moss...I mean, I understand it's high in potassium and dirt, but geez.<br /><br />I'm just tickled (though not pink, cuz that's girlie) that SGC put it on the flip!<br /><br />thanks Leon.<br /><br />and thanks for sharing those others, Andrew...very cool

Posted By: <b>E, Daniel</b><p>Gum Jubes in Australia refers to a chewy candy that most resembles 'gummies', but on the stale side...<br />Nasty Ass Taste? Of that there is no doubt!<br /><br /><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>David Hanvey</b><p>The Irish Moss Gum Jubes were a throat lozenger that were kind of like eating a hard/stale gummy bear.<br /><br />I don't know a lot about the two issues, but I can't say I've seen the Village Maid card before. The Allen's company released quite a few card sets in the day that were pretty popular, especially with Australian football cards.
