Default English Sovereigns

I won several of these recent Ebay auctions. The seller indicated to me that he won the lot in an auction, but which auction was not asked or revealed. Do they have tobacco card auctions in England??? I suspect they might.

I bid on a couple but got shut out. It was odd that EVERY card was a Sovereign regardless of where he aquired the pile.

I won one of the cards and received it today - they definitely are real and not reprints or anything else, although the card I won may have a very slight trim to the bottom border (this was visible in the auction scan, so no surprise to me).

Default How appropiate for a country with Monarchs

Thanks for the replies so far guys (Ted, Frank, Tim etc.)...it would be interesting to find out if other groups of Sovereigns have originated from England. Tim it is intriquing that another Sovereign issue is considered to have possibly been distributed in the UK.

I didn't check all the lots, so correct me if I am wrong---were all these cards either 350 or 460 series backs? I don't remember seeing any 150 Series.

I looked at a lot of them. Most, if not all, were 460s or 350 Apple Greens.

I still have to confirm delivery of my cards. I'll try to find out where the alleged auction was (UK or US).

Default T206 Sovereign England

I won the Doolan and Devore and received them today. They appear to be trimmed or handcut from a sheet. From the scans, I thought they all might be trimmed. I did not pay very much so I left positive feedback.

I paid quite a bit on ebay a number of years ago from a guy in England for a Chase port Sovereign and a Dougherty Sovereign that appeared high grade, but were deemed trimmed by sgc. I consigned them to B and L a few years ago.
