I agree with Mr. Bergin. Those in the UK have simply been card collectors since the beginning. They kept EVERYTHING. I saw and bought many sets that were from the 1930's that looked untouched. I once went to a collectors house in Edinburgh, Scotland. He had been selling cigarette cards at a small show in town. He invited me to see more of what he had at his house and I bought several beautiful sets. I asked him if he had any baseball cards. He said he had his fathers old collection, but none were for sale. I asked if I could see them anyway. He brought out several Old Judge cards and some Turkey Reds, plus other tobacco cards. I wish I could give details, but I wasn't even into the old cards at the time, and I was just mesmerized. But they were definately baseball. He mentioned that his father collected for years, and he wasn't sure where these came from. Were they distributed in Scotland? Could he have been doing overseas trading? Anything is possible.
