in Buy, Sell & Trade - Cards & Memorabilia
seem very old, picked them up because I love bad humor. Rice paper with a little devil on some, one reads

"Why are Fixed stars like pens ink and paper"

The back says

"because they are Stationary"



Others have looks to be Pandora's box theme

"Why are the legs of an ill bred fellowlike an organ grinder




"Because they carry a monkey about the streets



ok last one promise

ANother dancing flaming devil

"what is the diffrence between a butcher and a flirt"



"The former kills to dress and the latter dresses to kill"

I cant find any info

    I tried looking in all my sources. I can not find them anywhere. I just wanted them because they would look great graded and shown on a wall.

    T97 Riddle series; there are forty different illustration designs, each appear with 5 riddles. So a complete set has 200 cards, if you collect each design with all 5 riddles. Issued around 1910, 1911 by Perfection - tough to get in top condition because of the thin paper stock.

    Thanks Mark, I will have to go through them and see exactly how many I have of each illustration, it seems there are more than 5 of each one. Are they the same stock as the t218 boxers?
  • MorrellManMorrellMan Posts: 3,241 ✭✭✭
    Thinner, as I recall.

    BTW I wanted to publicy thank Mark for chiming in here, I can't believe the amount of knowledge on these boards sometimes. I STILL can't find any info on the net searching for T97, mecca, or anything out there. GEEZ image

    Perfection cigarettes were produced in north carolina.

    They were very prolific around the teens and 20's for
    these types of cards.

    They also did a button or pin set too that is quite desirable in
    top grade.

    Good for you.

    Why did I think they were Mecca?



    ..the world may never know
  • MorrellManMorrellMan Posts: 3,241 ✭✭✭
    Perhaps it was because of Mecca's claim to perfection?
