Question on British Tobacco/Cigarette Cards

[jrlebert]

I am looking for the best publication to find checklists (not necessarily values) for British Tobacco/Cigarette cards.

While we are at it, what do you all feel is the best publication for American Tobacco Cards?

Thanks so much for your help!

This might be what your looking for at Non-sports Update magazine.

A thousand or so checklists organized by category, mostly British.

It works for me.

For actual books, here are some in my library. We would get all sorts of crazy British cards in at Beckett, so most of these are focused on the British issues:

* The New Tobacco War Reference Book 1999 by The Cartophilic Society of Great Britain

* British Tobacco Issues Handbook 2003 by The Cartophilic Society of Great Britain

* British Cigarette Card Issues 1920-1940 Handbook Pt. II 1978 by The London Cigarette Card Co. Ltd.

* Trade Card Catalogue 2008 by The London Cigarette Card Co. Ltd.

* Gum Guide 2002 by Paul Hart (more focus on modern cards)

* Gum Guide 2 2004 by Paul Hart (more focus on modern cards)

And one nicely illustrated Tuff Stuff American guide:

* American Tobacco Cards 1999 by Robert Forbes & Terence Mitchell


Enjoy!

I would include the 5 volumes of the World Tobacco Index............
