New Acquisitions Thread

I ordered some old Cricket tobacco cards from Thailand, and they came Monday. I ordered them all the way back in May, but I'm glad they came eventually.

I bought two complete sets, 1928 Wills and 1938 John Player and Sons. They're both 50 card sets, and they were each around $20 including shipping. My dad also bought a 1937 Will's Authors set, because it includes cards of two of his favorite writers, Hilaire Belloc and G.K Chesterton.

They're just absolutely beautiful cards.

Finally took the plunge. Finishing this set at long last

Thanks. Had a chance three years to buy one for $600 that ended up grading a 6. One of my most egregious cheap skate moments. Needless to say I paid a multiple of that for this. Can't look back in anger, but can look back with regret. lol

Ditto, my friend, ditto. I figured I had plenty of time. Paid through the nose instead. At least I got the IA card early

Same here. Got Sam Jones about five years ago to get me to just Wilt. It had been those two for about ten years.
