1922 E120 American Caramel Series of 240 Baseball Forum

"Card-like thing" made me laugh!

1956 Topps baseball NY Giants TC. Have no idea how it got into my cards, but had it since I started collecting the first time in the late '70s.  Also not in the best of shape.

The oldest non-sports is probally something from the late '60s, early '70s. Off-hand I believe it may be a card of Marilyn Monroe.

UPDATE-well just found a non-Sport card making it my oldest card.Its from the 1916 John Player & Sons Wonders of the World,card #14.I might even find something older,just came across some old Tobacco cards.

A non-sport Buffalo soap company president's issue from 1886.

I also have 3 1889 kinney tobacco cards

Yep found one older then the 1916 Player Tobacco card.Its a 1895 Wills Tobacco card from the "Soldiers of the World " set of 100. The checklist is not on DB in the process of trying to locate a checklist.

Drag up an old thread.

I would say my oldest cards are

1888 Old Judge Joseph Mulvey

1888 Presidential Possibilities of General Russell Alexander Alger (civil war General and first officer into Gettysburgh and Secretary of war in the war of 1898 (family kin)

1888 Duke cigaretts booklet (15 pages) and about the size of a T-206 card and just a smidge thicker card

See the 1st post in Page 3 and that is my story about you. The short version anyway. I know I mentioned the card and how I got it a couple more times over the years here.

Glad you are still enjoying the card

1974 Topps baseball. I'm working on my birthyear set.

Though I have a couple of less significant older cards, my 1948 Bowman Musial RC is the one I would refer to as far as the oldest individual card I own.
