You are invited to bid on a lovely vintage Will's Cigarette Card Album including the 200 cigarette cards that are displayed inside - there appears to be 4 x complete sets with 50 cards in each series. Inside the album are the Gardening Hints and Garden Flowers series by Will's and Wild Birds and Dandies which I believe were by John Player. A previous owner of the album has kindly listed these on the inside cover of the album along with when they were issued (see photos). They have even included a little note about the relevant catalogue values in 2014, which of course bears no relevance now. A super little collection which needs a little bit of TLC and would make a nice gift for someone starting their journey on card collecting.     

Condition: The cards all appear to be in very good condition and are all held in place within the inner sleeves. There are however 3 cards that are loose due to the fact that the green sleeve on the first 2 pages has come loose near the binder. The album itself looks pretty good for its age - it does require a clean and the pages / sleeves are starting to come away from the spine and the corners are a little scuffed. The gold lettering on the front has worn in places but to be honest I'm not sure if this was how it was originally ? but considering how many times this must have been handled and opened it has stood the test of time pretty well.  

The album is @26 cms x 19 cms in diameter and I estimate the parcel will weigh @1100g when packed.

It may be boring but it is important information so please take the time to read the following.

Sometimes a small portion of the P&P quote is to cover my packing costs which usually includes lots of bubble wrap and protective foam nuggets, especially on larger / heavier items. Ebay unfortunately charge commission on these postage costs, which therefore, on occasions, will be added to the total P&P costs - particularly on heavier and therefore more expensive to post items. 

For larger / heavier items I usually use Yodel couriers but for smaller items under 2kgs in weight I always use Royal Mail - please feel free to use their online price guide to check the postage quoted. Please base your feedback on the price you were charged compared to the actual cost of the postage (taking into account the 10% Ebay commission) & not simply because you felt the postage costs were high. I am not personally responsible for these prices / fees and do not intentionally overcharge on postage. If when I have posted the parcel I feel I have overcharged I will refund some of postage accordingly. 

Please also note that the majority of the items I list are old / used and may therefore show signs of use - including minor wear & tear and / or scuffs or marks. I will however try to accurately describe all that I can see and the photos on the listing do form an important part of the item description. Please do not expect an item to be "as new" unless it is described as such. There are often additional photos available on request that I am happy to send to any email address provided.

If you are still happy to proceed and subsequently have any problem at all with any part of the transaction, please get in touch with me through Ebay before leaving feedback & I will try to do all that I can to help resolve any issues. 

If you have any other questions or require more photos, please also feel free to get in touch through the Ebay messages option on the listing. I will reply but please be patient as I still currently have to go to work to earn a living.   

Many thanks and Best of luck !
