    1800’s Cricket Cards - Old Judge

    Yep - I do, per my earlier comments (March 2018 post); Richard "Dick" Houston was a star at NMFC (then a VFA Team) in the 1880's/90's and this card forms one of the suite of 11 Aust. Rules footballers. These 11 are a subset of the 76 known different cards (inclusive of a known/recorded variation...

    Getting collection valued for insurance purposes

    Insurance is problematic as most companies who will insure collections will only do so if they have been assessed by a Licensed Valuer, who then charges a % of the value of the collection as their fee (and I've heard this can be as high as 15-20%!) You are better off having the collection, if it...

    What was your favourite card obtained in 2023?

    Without doubt, this one - not recorded in any Cricket reference book & made in the U.S.A. c1910 - a fabulous addition to a pre 1920/21 collection, that now stretches to three folders of cards - rare as...

    Bradman card issues 1928-1970 A collectors guide book

    Great oversight of the Don's material.... Couple of corrections... - 1939 Timaru Milling card is not a Tasmanian product - produced in New Zealand - Sugar Products produced 1934 before the Ashes commenced (players from the later Tests missing from 29 cards known to exist)! (& thanks for the...

    Bradman card issues 1928-1970 A collectors guide book

    Yes - that is the correct reverse for the #2 Card in the 1931/32 Bradman's Records Series 1 issue... Good luck finding it (& also be aware that there are two different cards at #17 and #18, so despite the series being numbered to 18 there are actually 20 different cards to find to complete the...

    Help Wanted On Nabisco Card

    This is likely to have been cut from a proof sheet - printed on a single side for the Client to see the sample layout of the finished card front - although a relatively common card this is a rarish piece

    Bradman card issues 1928-1970 A collectors guide book

    The 8 are a'Beckett, Andrews, Bettington, Hooker, Ironmonger, Kelleway, Nothling & Scott. You should also note there are two distinctly different issues of the a'Beckett card (One with him depicted from the hips up and another from the thighs up, with the margin between his head and the top of...

    Bradman card issues 1928-1970 A collectors guide book

    The value of this card is a real moving target as Bradman card prices have skyrocketed over the past 12 months and I've seen a VG examples of this card sell online (eBay) for >A$1000, which in my opinion is way more than what it's worth! (I sold five of them overseas just over 14 months ago for...

    Bradman Hoadleys Card

    Ha - we are all looking for the same card in VG+ condition (> 10 years for me) - it's one of the rarest Bradman issues, but Schneider is probably rarer! Last VG+ one I saw went at a Melbourne Auction for $850+ Comm two - three years ago (over a Grand!!!) - I have a crappy one and am hanging...
