Tobacco cards are trade cards issued by tobacco manufacturers to stiffen packaging and advertise brands. Beginning in 1875, cards depicting actresses, baseball players, Indian chiefs, and boxers were issued by the U.S.-based Allen and Ginter tobacco company. These are considered to be some of the first tobacco cards. Other tobacco companies such as Goodwin & Co. soon followed suit. They first emerged in the U.S., then the UK, then, eventually, in many other countries. In the UK, W.D. & H.O. Wills in 1887 were one of the first companies to include advertising cards with their cigarettes, but it was John Player & Sons in 1893 that produced one of the first general interest sets ‘Castles and Abbeys’. Thomas Ogden soon followed in 1894 and in 1895, Wills produced their first set ‘Ships and Sailors’, followed by ‘Cricketers' in 1896. In 1906, Ogden’s produced a set of football cards depicting footballers in their club colours, in one of the first full-colour sets. Each set of cards typically consisted of 25 or 50 related subjects, but series of over 100 cards per issue are known. Popular themes were 'beauties' (famous actresses, film stars and models), sporters (in the U.S. mainly baseball, in the rest of the world mainly football and cricket), nature, military heroes and uniforms, heraldry and city views. The system devised to codify 19th Century American tobacco issues has its origin in the ‘American Card Catalog’ (ACC), written by Jefferson Burdick. Burdick listed the American Tobacco Cards in one section, broken down by companies that issued the card series and by the types of cards. The 19th Century issues were prefixed with ‘N’ (N1-N694) and the 20th with ‘T’. (T1-T235). 1901 Ogden's Guinea Gold Tobacco Trading Card Set The 1901 Ogden's Guinea Gold tobacco trading card is massive issue. Dating to 1901, it was similar to Ogden’s General Interest set produced at the same time. These cards, however, are different in that they have the ‘Guinea Gold’ name at the bottom, indicating they were inserts for that specific product. The cards aren’t as sturdy as other tobacco issues. They aren’t paper thin but a little thinner than other tobacco cards and have a light semi-gloss. The set was a multi-sport issue and also contained non-sports subjects. Cards have distinctive black borders, which helps them to stand out from other tobacco cards of the era, which often used white borders. The Ogden’s Cigarettes name is printed at the bottom of each card. The set is popular among boxing fans as numerous boxers are included. But it also contains other sports, including golf, soccer, tennis, as well as a slew of others. But sports are only a part of the set which was largely a non-sports issue. The sports are spread out across the series, so it isn’t a matter of limiting one’s focus to any given series to collect only the sports cards. A large, multi-subject set with various images and bases, there are potentially more than 20,000 different image and base combinations for cards in this set.
