Long ago, I met a gentleman in Edinburgh, Scotland selling British issued cigarette cards at a small show I happened into. He said he had many more cards at home that his father had collected. I went to his house later that day and he brought out some beautiful British Cards but also some American Old Judge baseball cards and many other tobacco era baseball players that his father had collected. I certainly didn't expect to see anything like that in Scotland. Unfortunately he wasn't interested in selling any of these precious gems. So there may be many other hordes of these early American tobacco cards that were collected by avid collectors in other countries just waiting to be discovered.
