Do U.K. people collect American baseball cards?

Hi Tom,
I picked up a nice Broadleaf from Murray's cards serveral years ago... It might have been a hold out from your lot, as the pose on the front was Murray/Batting.....
Be well Brian

PS I purchased quite a few tougher backs from them back in 2003/2004.

Since the buyer said he would post the pics later, hopefully you won't mind if I post the link. Looks to me like a great card at an even better price!!

I am in full agreement, I am nuts about N162, once I get this card I will have all four HOFers in the set. In my opinion N162 is the most beautiful set of cards ever made (baseball anyway). These are like little paintings on cardboard victorian style.

They have a tobacco/collector card show in London monthly or every couple of months at the Royal National Hotel in London. I went to a few of them but I was never able to locate many baseball cards that were reasonably priced. They thought they were worth more than they actually were worth and there weren't many to choose from. A few of the larger dealers "understood" that there was potential value in some of the cards and with the internet there's really nothing to hide (not much of a chance of finding a good deal unless the person is a total recluse).

The shows they had were pretty nice if you didn't mind non-sport or at least non-baseball related material.

Overall, I don't think that many Brits collect "baseball" cards. One shoppe that I used to check out was Murray's, unfortunately I believe they just closed a few months ago after a long time of being in business.

Just wanted to add...

I picked up (5 or 6) N162s about 8 years+ ago on ebay from a dealer in Australia of all places.

Then the question is, does a signed one exist?
