“ As a history nut there are far too few sets covering history, and even fewer that aren't just US Presidents. I like to see cards like this and would collect it if I had access to it. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Rats! Another Sir Robert Walpole! When oh when will I ever get that elusive Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman rookie card? ” -revnorb

“ Hmm? Both my wife and eldest granddaughter love British history. Maybe, just maybe, I can get them hooked on card collecting these. ” -Sportzcommish

“ One of a set of 50 cards that serve only to take up space. I'd rather own five hundred 1990 Fleer Randy Milligan cards! I bet this set was sold in a delicate gold and purple box, with an ornate certificate describing why you should be proud to own them. ” -dilemma19

“ This card is kind of cool , a lot newer vintage than I thought at first . ” -uncaian

“ This is cool! Wonder if it is a rookie card. ” -tbshaw

“ It's nice to see a tea card come up as Random Card of the Day. ” -Doe MG

“ OH Man its retro tobacco. I thought it was old time tobacco until I saw the date. Still pretty cool though. Guessing it is a reprint, oh wait Brooke Bond is TEA. So it is retro tea. Oh OK again the blue which is really purple is the original if it were black it would be the reprint. So confusing as I usually think the black ink backed cards are originals. http://www.brookebondcollectables.co.uk /sets/queenelizabethito queenelizabethii.htm ” -captkirk42

“ Funny stuff! ” -carthage44

“ Interesting. Definitely a change from the norm. ” -IfbBirdsCards

“ How can you not like a short, dumpy man of twenty stone getting his own trading card?! ” -switzr1

“ Not that old, but I still love stuff like this. I don't have any. I should. ” -muskie027

I had this set. Any many others like it. The cards came in a box of tea bags and you had to send off for the book to put them in . Sadly i left all  my cards in england but i shall get them one day.

But thanks to his son, Horace, we have the word serendipity.
