Card Identification Forum

First one was quickly resolved so here is the second card I picked up that is not on the site.

What I know -

Printed in Toronto, Canada

Co that issued - British Educator Biscuit C. Limited

Size - 1.75 x 2.5"

There is no copyright date anywhere on the card.

There is a similar image used for the 1933 Movienook Corp. card; that one has a thin white border. Based on the writing on card back (both films mentioned are from 1932, plus the mention of more to come), it seems a good year to focus on.

Do you have a link to these?

Apologies for misspelling 'Moviebook' in my first post.

Definitely same pic.

Where do you guys (or ladies to be fair) find these cards of classic film stars-? Aside from possibly paying a ton of money [ :) ] is it luck or were they passed down...it just seems like I've seen a decent number of cards like these whenever I check this forum. 

  Oh and if the question is too personal,  I apologize, I simply love seeing them and am curious if there is a secret to owning even one.

     Cheers and Happy Friday!

Hey, Sanny I found this page. It's about the card set. But the size is not the same and there is a white border on them. Unfortunately, they don't have an image of the backs. They were printed in GB. So I'm thinking you may have the version that was printed in your country or maybe in North America.

Also on the page in the top menu, you will see the words "Image index" there you will find a list of other trading cards with photos. A good page to bookmark for some of the old film cards. 

You can also look-up "Old Film Trading Cards" A deep rabbit hole of websites to look at. Sometimes it helps you widen your search then focus in on each website. 

Nothing personal about asking where we (I) find these.  In this area, there is MaxSold auctions (I posted about them in another thread) where people can put up for auction online things they want sold. In kingston there is a guy who buys other people's collections and then sells them in lots through MaxSold.  Sometimes things go at great prices, sometimes too expensive, sometimes there are oddities, and sometimes it is just junk.

I got this card in a mixed lot that had a few older cards.  In the same auction, I got the Chix Popeye cards, some World on Wheels, and a few other oddballs.  Similar auctions also netted me the Flags of the World, the Dormand Mantle postcard, and many cards from TV shows sets like Charlie's Angels, Happy Days, E.T., etc.

 Thank you guys for the tips! I actually thought I found some cards a couple of months ago but it turns out they weren't trading cards but a boxed Addam's Family card game from the 1960's. I think they're still neat to have because the box is in good shape but they weren't what I thought- I haven't looked for them online yet but to find something like these would be a great find :)  I live in a tourist beach town so the antique shops are picked through and picked over before items touch the floor...but I need a trip so I'll get a list of some good spots!
