Here is the only Monet I know. I've seen an Audie Murphy in a Dutch Gum issue. I think he's in Nu Cards Western too. Check the Trading Card Database.

Audie Murphy has a lot, including a bunch of Dutch cards, a 1956 Adventure card that should be cheap, and some modern stuff like the 1992 Starline Americana and Historic Autographs WWII set.

Love all the presidential stuff!

This arrived today. Garfield is a fascinating political figure. I highly recommend the audiobook/book Destiny of the Republic.

The same author wrote a really interesting book on Theodore Roosevelt's exploration of the Amazon, River of Doubt, if you haven't read it by chance.

Victoria Louise, Prussian Princess. I think her biggest claim to fame is that her wedding was the last big gathering of the European royals before World War I broke out and the extended family was just never the same again. This is her at, I believe, 17 in 1909, as the honorary colonel of the II Life Hussars. This card hit my primary points for collecting historical images; it has 1) a cool horse and 2) a cool military hat.

**trigger warning**

Historical figures. Great is up to you.

Some group (or person) operating under the name "Fascinating Cards" has put out a couple nonpartisan sets of Congress cards now. I unironically love this; we don't get many history cards and while I'd rather have the Continental Congress, I'll settle for anything of historical significance. I'm not sure it will last, as the people who care enough about government, politics or history to collect Congress cards are the type of people who will mostly be upset over one half of the cards or the other. I ended up getting a whole case for very little and cracked the first box. Maybe the next one will have an AOC Yard Sign Relic or a Lauren Boebert Chrome RC!

The freshmen members elected in 2020 have a "Rookie Card" at top, which I find amusing for some reason. Stock is slightly thin, but quality is surprisingly decent.

There is a 1975 style card from a few years back with all of the "Squad" on it. Awesome thing, honestly.

Have you seen any of the "Politicards" playing card sets through the years? I used to pick up the 1971 set when I saw it, when I was going through my oddball non-sports phase years ago.

Not really flattering to any of the subjects in it, but pretty interesting. There's even a Norman Mailer card in it (Joker), I wonder if it's his first card.

They can be had on Ebay pretty cheap.

A board member sent me not one, but TWO Monet cards as a Christmas gift... He has refused payment for these, and I am absolutely blown away.

Thank you so much, Scott!

For purists who want first cards, even if not the greatest issue, the 1991 Face to Face game is a gold mine..

Perhaps an unlikely place to find the first card of the famous newsman.
