Grandpa's Tobacco Cards

[CobbSpikedMe]

I think it's really great the way you are becoming interested in the cards the more you interact with them. I think the bug would really take hold if you were to continue to learn about prewar cards. You're lucky to have found the best place to discuss and learn about these things here at Net54.

Spend some time reading the posts. Search for older threads about the sets you have and follow the pick up threads to see more amazing cards. You'll get hooked and find this is a great hobby and this board is an amazing community of the most knowledgable people in it.

I hope you stick around and find it as fun as I do. Welcome to both the hobby and the board.

Best regards.

It sounds like the bug is biting you! Go ahead and collect awhile, while following the discussions on this board. If later on down the road you become bored, then sell them. At least you'll be better educated. It's a heck of a start for a newbie!

Good Luck!

I have pretty much decided to keep the 115 205's, and see what's involved in completing the set moneywise. The friendliness, enthusiasm, advise and passion for the hobby and the sport I found here played a big part in that decision.

Maybe I'll sell those original John Wayne movie posters I collected over the years instead. Got about two dozen of 'em. Never did get around to building that JW memorial saloon...

My dad has a whole room devoted to John Wayne.

I am not surprised - after all you are from Texas!

Gotta Go - It's Saint Paddy's Day and "The Quiet Man" is on.

Thanks again Leon!

Welcome to the board !!

Great story as well, thanks. And, nice cards (love the Uzit). I say keep the collection & learn as much as you can about the cards, you will probably soon find the passion that your Grandfather had for them- and then there is no turning back

But, if for some reason the bug doesn't bite you, you can always sell on the BST, an auction house, or ebay.

Thanks again-

Sincerely, Clayton

Yeah, I agree completely. I have seen it so many times I can recite just about all of the dialogue. When it comes on it's almost like visiting with old friends...

Been reading up on this card. Sad story. Didn't know about the obit on the reverse. Yeah, I got the bug....

[grainsley]

I knew with a name like Batjac the Duke would figure in there somewhere....I used to have a John Wayne Room in my previous digs, movie-worn shirt, Winchester Commemorative 32-40, movie posters etc. Parted with most of those goodies when we moved, something had to give, and it wasn't going to be my cardboard. Hope you get severely bitten by the cardboard bug!

Welcome to the right side of the street. Those 206 collectors are crazy. Let me know what your looking for. Might even do some trading if interested

Hey Guys,

Here is a scan of the one UZIT back I have. Not in the best condition, but it's a UZIT alright.

I was ask to scan it earlier today:
