Random Card of the Day

“ This might be a record for shortest time from adding photo to making RCOTD. I see cnangle added this one less than a month ago. The print is too small for me to read, so I have no idea what this set is all about. ” -switzr1

“ Old so good, but what the heck is going on here? What is up with the waiters face? Is he a fish man? Looks like something from the X-Files. Maybe the words explain it, but I can't get them to focus in. Still, anything from 1800's looks cool. They could have a set of dog crap piles, but you put them in the tobacco setting and I think I'd like it. ” -muskie027

“ Yes! Finally a 19th century tobacco card. I really like the artwork in this set. I think the cards are supposed to be funny. I guess you had to be there. The images are taken from "Puck" magazine which was a satirical publication from 1871 to 1918. The scenes are a satirical representation of societal opinion and, like in this card, are often not politically correct by today's standards. ” -cnangle

“ HOLY BATMAN! What an awesome artifact. LOVE it. So wrong and stereotyping. Truly, an amazing collectible. ” -cjjt

“ Nice artwork, but I think 1880's humor is over-rated. But the concept of a tobacco card back then was novel, and kudos to those marketing folks who came up with it. ” -kents_stuff

“ I remember getting this card when I opened a couple packs back in '89. ” -NJDevils

“ Interesting vintage card, to say the least. Par for the course though at the time, I suppose. ” -IfbBirdsCards

“ Good looking historical card, kind of racist now. One of those hard cards to justify having it other than it is history. ” -parsley24

“ The 19th century cards are almost enough to get me to buy something that isn't a baseball card. This is a beautiful and fascinating card. And, of course, terribly offensive, which is a bit of a problem.... ” -Vvvergeer

“ not really sure whats going on here but the date is 1888 that alone is pretty sweet ” -Thunderfoot

“ Nice vintage vintage non-sport card. Very non PC by today's standards. ” -captkirk42
