Book excerpt: How trading cards captured the popular culture—from war to sports, science to celebrities—with tips on how to start and develop your own collection.

This attractive and extensively illustrated guide to collecting cigarette and other trade cards gives the reader a lively history of the hobby, and offers the collector some valuable advice on how to begin and maintain a collection. The wide variation of themes of card issues is explored, with many of the stories behind the cards revealed.

Book Synopsis The First World War on Cigarette and Trade Cards by : Cyril Mazansky
Download or read book The First World War on Cigarette and Trade Cards written by Cyril Mazansky. This book was released on 2015-03-28. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there have been, and continue to be, many books written on a wide variety of aspects of the First World War, this work not only approaches the history of the war from a unique perspective, but also comprehensively covers many of these aspects. Utilising cards from the extensive, remarkably detailed and mostly contemporaneous issues of cigarette and trade card sets related to the First World War, the author provides a richly illustrated and descriptive tapestry of this great conflict. Not only are the usual political and armed services aspects of the war covered in detail, but also the many other less covered parts receive attention. These latter include regal aspects, and other components of the military such as armamentarium, awards, uniforms and militaria. Then the important role that propaganda played is also covered. The social and literary aspects of the war form an important part of the book. All these written details, a significant amount of which is drawn from the descriptions on the cards, complement the hundreds of card illustrations found throughout the work.

Book Synopsis Collecting Cigarette and Trade Cards by : Gordon Howsden
Download or read book Collecting Cigarette and Trade Cards written by Gordon Howsden. This book was released on 1995. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the marketing success stories of the 20th century, the cigarette card, may also claim to be among one of the few promotional devices that was produced to inform enlighten and entertain its recipients all for free! During the heyday of the cigarette card in the late 1930s, the major cigarette manufacturers were issuing hundreds of millions of cards for just a single series. The creation, design, printing and distrbution of the humble cigarette card became an industry in itself. Although cigarette cards were first issued over 100 years ago, trade cards have a history stretching back to the 17th century. Cards are still being produced today-and can be obtained when purchasing certain brands of chocolate, soft drinks, cigars, and more. This informative and lavishly illustrated book traces the history of cards, reviews the many beautiful and sometimes bizzare series that have been issued, comments on current developments affecting the hobby and contains valuable advice and information for both the experienced and novice collector.
