I was an avid collector of N162's in the 1980's and 1990's. In the process of completing 3.5 sets, I recall acquiring a bunch of these cards
from England. The Englishman selling me these N162's said that they were in his family's collection for 100 years. None of the 8 baseball
cards were in his collection, but mostly all the other 42 sports Champions were. Not unusual, since a good number of the N162 Champions
were international sports figures (e.g. Joe Acton, D'Oro, MacKenzie, Steinitz, Vignaux, Voss, Charles Wood, Zukertort, etc.).

So, as the back of my Old Judge cigarette pack states...."Packed in our Star Tin foil Expressly for Export Trade"....leads me ask how many
of you have acquired Allen & Ginter's, Goodwin's, Kimball's, etc. from original collections outside the USA ?







Thanks Barry Sloate for selling me the 42 (non-baseball) N162's in 1985. That started me on my "love affair" with these Goodwin Champions.
