Slightly OT: Player's Cigarettes Crickett Card Found in Old Book
 

My father is a book collector and found the following card wrapped in tin foil (also pictured) in a 1929 edition of a book called Motor Touring in Scotland. I imagine someone on a road trip using this card as a bookmark and forgetting the card in a book they probably never opened again.

Is anyone familiar with these cards?

Yes, Player Cigarette cards were manufactured in England and spanned years. That one is probably from the 20s or 30s and might be worth a quarter. Many of those issues stayed in relatively good condition and you can buy original sets of 50 for many of their series for under $25.

Thanks for the info John

I have a set of jockey caricatures from John Player & Sons Co. I think I paid about $20.00 about 5 years ago. The set is hiding in my house some where.
