Tobacco cards are all over the place in the UK. Go to Portabello Road Market in London and you can get the entire Churchman Cigarettes Set from the 1930's for 100 pounds. Joe Louis, Jack Dempsey, many others are in it.

I once placed an ad in a foreign country known for a certain sportscard set. Someone actually contacted me and said they knew someone with cards but no further communication ever materialized.

This. I was just in London and there are cigarette cards all over Portobello Road Market. Loose singles, complete sets, framed displays of variable taste and quality.

I bought an American Tobacco Company stock certificate at a flea market in Barcelona. Yeah, the Barcelona in Spain.

Eddie, nice finds. Can you possibly blow up the card on the left? Never seen that one before.

Travis, that Robinson is very cool!

You guys have found some great stuff in all corners.......Thanks for sharing.

I bought the FOTOCOLOR OLE packs in Rio de Janiero, Bazil from a news stand in 1986. The Bebeto I got from Italy, along with the Comic Book and the recent soccer packs from my past trips to Italy
