The heading "Cigarette Cards"
is a bit of a misnomer. It is true to say the cigarette
companies produced "Cigarette Cards" to collect but so did other
company's not involved in the tobacco industry. This section
includes speedway card sets from many sources.
Enamelled Advertising
Sign
David Pipes says: On my recent holiday travels I came across
this metal enamel advertising sign for Wills Star Cigarettes
and thought that you might like to put it on your website. Not
sure which category to include it under – possibly
miscellaneous or even in the Cigarette cards section?
I’m not sure whether the rider smoking the cigarette has
already lapped the other three or whether he is just finishing
his smoke and intends to catch them up !!
This part of the website is dedicated to
the many Speedway Card sets collected since the early days of
speedway in the UK. Click on a link below, to see the individual
cards.
These collectibles are a great source of information from the
early days of speedway. Perhaps you can help out where a card from a
set is missing by scanning your card and emailing it to me
John so we
can all marvel at these blasts from the past. I don't mind the page being
used by collectors who want to sell or buy.
Please click on the "Card Set"
links below, to view the card sets.
