Random Card of the Day |
Friday, June 21, 2019Year: 1933 Set: Player's Boy Scout & Girl Guide Patrol Signs & Emblems (Rate) “ Classic tobacco card. I was never a scout so I had no idea you could get birds as patches, but that's kind of cool. I've been a bird watcher my whole life but these never visit my yard. I know they live in the area because I've seen swallows around, just never here. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ Interesting vintage card. I like the emblem and the artwork is amazing. I have always stuck to collecting sports cards and mostly baseball except in my early days but cards like this make me almost want to collect other genres. ” -davidhandberry
“ Cool looking card, nice colors for something from 1933 ” -Lennoxmatt
“ I have never seen these before but I want them. The lower half reminds me of Audubon's "Birds of America" series. We have a Fork-tailed Flycatcher print hanging in our kitchen. ” -AirPete
“ Nice to see a vintage card in the Random post. However Player cards drive me nuts because many of the sets have more modern reprints (1980s and 1990s if I recall). Some of the reprint sets are so much like the original the only way to tell an original from the reprints are to know what color ink was used for text on the back. Some sets the original is blue, not black, sometimes its the other way round, or a different color all together. ” -captkirk42
“ Now I know the motto of the Swallow Patrol. I have tons of Player cards, but never saw these before. And the boy scouts apparently had to buy cigarettes to collect these. ” -switzr1
“ Is that an authentic "event-worn" patch ? ” -altaeria
“ Another really nice and unusual card. ” -NJDevils
