dantodan Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 (edited) In the late 20's and 1930's cigarette cards often featured speedway. They are now a good source of information. The cards are now highly collectible and they look brilliant scanned onto a website. I hope to make the Defunct Site the sole website for these cards. So have a look at the Card Sets page of the site and be entertained. If anyone has any cards the site would like to hear from you email me Defunct Site Edited October 29, 2008 by dantodan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iris123 Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 Me too Steve, and i thought i was doing well with that, but my cousin has the same collection in an original booklet !! At least i guess these are all originals. But probably not worth 12 quid, let alone 12 million dollars 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the set, but it's not the original album. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1937 Speedway Riders set (John Player) is worth about £75; the Ogden's 1929 set of Famous Dirt Track Riders between about £80 and £100, while the J A Pattreioux 1930 set of Dirt Track Riders can be worth up to £500 - £600.

iris123 Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 Seems like there were a few more collections, plus some speedway riders among sporting stars collections. From memory i only knew of the other collection with Clem Cort among others http://edinburghspeedway.blogspot.com/2013/05/cigarette-cards.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andout Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 Do be careful with these, they have been reprinted so you must ask if they are original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
