even with $11.00 shipping from Germany, I landed this 1935 Josetti Cigarettes set, complete at 275 cards, for less than $.45 (cents) per card:

    Nice set Mark!
    Great price too - individual cards can go for like 6-7$ in good condition from what I understand?
    Is this the back of the card?

    Almost the same except a different brand:

    As usual, I'll keep the set intact; I may start picking up some lots for singles, though. I love the gold borders.

    Very similar - same vintage? and they seem to be Salem cigarettes? Is that the same as our Salem cigarettes here?

    They seem to have their own brand - here is a vintage copy of a German salem item:

    sounds familiar, but I do know there's a Schmeling in the Josetti set I just won.

    Edited to add: My mistake - no Schmeling in this set that I know of.

    Very nice cards, I have a few odds around somewhere but not sure what the backs are. I will have to dig them out.

    Its nice to see you guys here. I thought you were only into sports cards, but you guys really have a broad base like me.

    I was not familiar with these cards, but they are awesome!! As you guys know, I can read German. All 275 can be had by mail order for one Reichsmark. That currency went out over half a century ago!! I have some original coinage from that era--the silver 2 RM and 5 RM.

    You really hit the jackpot on this collection MorrellMan!!!!

    Congrats and most of all, thanks for sharing!!

    You found us!! This is a neat board; thanks for the kind words and welcome. What kind of non-sports do you collect?

    Thanx for coming over!...there are a lot of guys collecting the movie stuff since it is pure vintage and affordable IMO. I also collect German olympic cards, Sanella etc.

    Mark
    That is the card! It's a beauty - yours?
    thanx for sharing.
