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...

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...

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...

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...

Bump

G'day all, Its a longshot asking I know, but I'm seeking the last few signed Australian subject cards to help complete my set of signed 1965 Scanlen's Cricketers (I have a NM set of 40 unsigned & 34/40 signed), but am looking for a signed #6 Neil Hawke, #9 Wally Grout & #18 Graham McKenzie (as...

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...

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

Yep - I have 14/18 with the red border still intact on all of them & also a complete box with Keith Miller as the subject - do you have any spares?

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...

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...

G'day, I can help you in your pursuit of early cards & price other cards i you wish. I have an extensive collection of pre 1980 Australian & English Cig & Trade cards and also have accumulated Research Material and notes on them over the past 20 years in addition to maintaining a digital...

And this one isn't too bad either! (& yep - the signature is legit)...:)

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...

Yep - got four stock Albums of spare pre 1970's Cig & Trade cards - one is all pre WW1 Australian Wills cards (1901 - 1911's) & happy to help with 1965 Scanlen's Spares also - have 16/40 spare. Am located in Melbourne and email is: [email protected]

NOOOO! - There are 39 known cards, numbered to 1 to 32, with 7 additional ones at the numbers identified above. 10 Different ad backs (each ad on the back of 4 of the 39 cards - one ad only exists on 3 of them!) I'm not sure how you decide which is the rarer of the two cards at each of the 7...

Most of the extra issues (per my initial reply) are the difficult ones to find - I have 22 of the 39 Series 2 cards and sadly only have both #13's of the seven duplicate issues and don't think I've ever seen a single #4 or #10 to acquire, let alone the second one! I'm only aware of them both in...

Examples of Reverse layout of Series 1 & Series 2 cards attached... Also Series 1 cards (1st Image) are produced on 'normal' card bond stock and only advertise Steam Rollers, while the Series 2 cards (2nd Image) are on much flimsier and weaker material (perhaps explaining why they are so...

This is arguably the rarest Australian Trade Card - issued in late 1901 to commemorate the 1901/02 England v Australia Test series. It shows English Left arm spinner, Colin Blythe (killed in WW1) and is believed to be the only example of this card in existence! A succession of Cricket card...

Bradman Record's Series 1 = 18 numbered cards but with two #17's (2 different images on the front of the #17 card) & two #18's (two different images on the front of the #18 card), the extra two cards are by far the hardest of the 20 to find. Bradman Record's Series 2 = 39 known cards, numbered...

I have a copy of the book (#7/250) and helped Jodi in the finals months of the its production, which ran to 250 copies only and which she fully self produced & funded. This included introducing her to the owner of the largest private pre 1980's Cricket & VFL card collection in Australia, which I...

I have the full set of the 1965 Scanlen's cards in VG+ cond. but am also trying to add the subset of the 20 Australian cards in the series with each of them signed!!! I have 13/20 Australian subjects signed (26/40 from the full set) but would like to acquire any of the following signed cards -...

Acquired this Scanlen's Sticker recently - it measures 11 x 7 cm (which is larger than the stickers/cards from the same era) Does anyone know much about it (them)? Were they produced for each of the four Scanlen's Cricket Sticker issues (1982/83, 1983/84, 1984/85 & 1985/86)? Were they...
