(sold) I came across these in the back of my sock draw. They haven't seen the light of day in a few years. These are from 1909. I believe it was 50 cards to a full set. These are in excellent condition for 103 year old cards. One has some sort of scuffing on the front, all the others are pretty much clear white borders, mostly square corners. This is an incomplete set with cards 1,2,3,6,7,10,12,17,19,20 (scuffing),22,23,24,26,27. There is also a Gallaher Sporting Personalities card (no 28) of a snooker cartoonist (don't forget...no tv in them days!) who apparently drew for the "Daily Mail". His name was Tom Webster.

There are 15 of the pool cards. I was thinking $3 each. I'll throw old Tom Webster in. I will mail priority mail and I will cover the shipping cost.

I'm going to try to post photo's but I am a total putz with this usually. (some things old people can never learn no matter how many times you tell them...oh, and before you ask, no I didn't collect these when I was a kid.)

Yup. My wife's right. I am a dope. I have pdf scan of the cards front and back, but darned if I can figure out how to fix the file size. So if you send me your email address, I will send you the pdf files via email.

PM any questions.
