On Thursday, I received an envelope with a handful of cards from Anson. He had some old tobacco cards that didn't fit into his collection and I promised to give them a good home.
If you don't know Anson, you can follow him on Twitter at
@AnsonWhaley. He has a great site,
Pre-War Cards (
@prewarcards) and also
contributes on Sport Collectors Daily.
Now, the cards...

I don't know much about this card. I can't seem to find much information on it. The only thing that my quick search turned up was
this at prewardcards.com.

I believe that I already have some of the cards from the 1936 set. It looks like I will be putting this set together. I've seen them online and they aren't too expensive, considering the cards are 80 years old.

I had mentioned boxing cards as well and Anson also included it. Looks like it's time for me to do some more research.
Thank you so much, Anson!
Love the cars!
