What about Einstein cards--or cards of other "figures" with global importance, like Marilyn Monroe? I would bet they are more valued and are listed on eBay with those inflated BINs.
Yes, they can be had for less money than in the US but you need to find them in the right place. I've managed to find Ruth Sanella cards, Ruth Bulgaria and Churchman cards on the UK and German ebay sites. I've also managed to get some good prices on the 1925 Turf Cigarettes George Sisler card.

If you're interested in soccer cigarette cards, they're a dime a dozen in the UK.
