Pirate cigarettes

[zachclose21]

Hi I'm trying to gather some info.
I picked up some pirate cigarette cards of Chinese or Japanese people
W.D. & H.O.Wills Bristol & London
I'm wondering if anybody knows how many are in the set and if they have any value
Any help is greatly appreciated and if this is in the wrong spot feel free to move to the appropriate spot

The characters are Chinese. The packs were sold in China in the early teens, I believe. I don't think they have great value, but some other members (Peter U. among others) own a few, so I'm sure they have a better idea of their value.

I am stealing this page from the 2009 Murray's Cigarette Card Value guide (UK company).


It looks like there are several sets of Pirates. The column on the right is the full set value and to the left of that column is the value for individual cards. The column on the far left denotes the number of cards in the set.

Neat info. Obviously the baseball players price is way off ... these typically sell for $5k+ (even back in '09).

I never realized the pogoda's were so valuable?

I've seen and heard of fake ones. Beware.
