Where do you get those? How do you test for authenticity? I've been considering getting into collecting but I feel like I'd overpay or get scammed somehow.

I have a reputable dealer of Pre-War cards that purchases others collections
The only other place I’ve seen an enormous collection of cigarette billiard cards, was on the walls of a coffee house owned by single-rail billiard champion Herr. Weingartner in Vienna, Austria.
I filmed the walls😜
 
That is super cool! Congrats! Are these like Baseball cards where the value increases with age/condition? I can't imagine that there are millions of these floating around, so I would assume they are rare. Either way, definitely a great conversation piece.

Yes, very hard to come by👍Which is why I paid for the Hoppe card in the condition it’s in.

Herr. Weingartner owns one of two the billiard museums in world.(The other is in Liverpool, I’ve filmed both)

He owns a billiard supply company which is on one corner (the coffee house is kitty corner)and he has one of largest libraries of billiard books (from floor to ceiling 20’ft ceiling😳)
