Just got these in. I think the Jeffries Ogden's cards are pretty under-rated. Pretty sure they're his 1st Non-cabinet card issues.

The black Ogdens issues are awesome. I'm slowly building the boxing subsets after a former member here got me more into the British tobacco cards. I buy lots of the non-sports subjects when I see them cheap; one could make a wonderful collection covering everything from politics to history to zoology to sports to architecture to the stage just from these issues. Nice pickups

Yeah, the various Ogdens black border issues and the Guinea Gold stuff is absolutely fascinating...and they are vast in their topics.

I've always liked them because they are a very early photographic tobacco issue, and back when I was buying lots of them 20+ years ago, they were absolutely dirt cheap.

Don't even know what I did with most of them, probably got bored with them and sold most of them off years ago (for dirt cheap again), but a part of me wished I kept them around and hoarded more of them, just out of curiosity.

There's a decent article on the "General Interest Series" on the Pre-War Cards site here:

I've yet to find an earlier non-cabinet card.

Thanks Adam.

Yeah, when I boiled down my black bordered Ogdens cards to one of each series or issue, I made sure to keep a Jeffries. Still need a Heroes of the Ring type (I think; gotta check).

Finished T219 with the HLC Black backs now with this one. Need 3 commons to finish Miners Extra and 8 to complete the HLC Greens.

Love this card. My local card shop has pretty terrible options but had two of these somehow. Poor condition though.

Looked for this 1960 Master Vending Robinson in decent shape for a long time. I used to own a badly miscut one.
