Every time my husband decides to "pay a bill" I learn a new category of collectible. Well this time I am sort of a learning a new one - I've written here before about non-sport cards, specifically the HORRORS OF WAR cards he sold some of several months ago. Well he's liquidating again so I'm showing you some additional versions of those cards as well as some others. Horrors of War was a set created in 1938 and hand drawn - some of it is truely gruesome and no way would we let our kids collect anything like that today.... ? well maybe - I mean we did have the Garbage Pail kids and kids today have "TWILIGHT MOVIE TRADING CARDS" complete with Vampires.
See???
Now sort of in between those and the supersweet Webkinz
or there are some older sets likeMARS ATTACKS!
Those Mars Attacks are from the Original series in 1962. and these JETS ROCKETS SPACEMEN cards which I think have great "pulp fiction" type
illustrations and color.
Ok...stand by for Part 4... meanwhile I'm happy to feature YOUR collection if you want to. Just email me.
