Some really interesting cards there Ian. 1000 Euros for the Stalin card? Imagine what it might have fetched if it had been in the correct section of the auction.

Hi Sam,

it was the Eifro Album that made 1000 Euros.  But like you say, who knows what it would have made in the correct section. I would certainly have bid the price up a bit.

1000 Euros is still a good price for the seller even if it was for an album rather than a single card. Although I'm sure there are a lot of people who would think the buyer got a bit of a bargain.

Many years ago, I used to collect stamps.  I found the background material that the philatelic buro included in the covers was much more interesting than the stamps themselves.  When I realised that my collection was becoming more and more a collection of those cards, I decided I might as well just collect cigarette cards instead.  But I digress.

The card turned up along with a few others on Ebay one day a few years ago.  I guess that someone in Munich was clearing out the attic and found them.  I have never seen any others.  One album of the cards has "always" been known about.  The second turned up also on Ebay a few years ago.  Someone in the east of Germany was clearing out the attic and found it.  They obviously didn't know what they had as it was in the section for post-1945 cards.  I missed it as I only check the pre-1945 section.  I think it went for over 1000 Euros which must have pleased the seller.  They think it belonged to someone from Munich who moved to the east in the 1930s.  (Eifro was a small company in Munich and probably wouldn't have sold cards anywhere else).

Whilst we're on the subject, here is another card from Solidarität cigarettes of Berlin.  They were also closed down by the national socialists.  Doesn't Stalin look young :-)

this is the first  cigarette card ive seen with a pic of stalin
i have a very large german and rusian stamp collection had a look through. east germany theres not one stamp of stalin. russia found 5  is there a reason for this you would think he would be on every other one at the time. if hes not on to many stamps i cant see him being on to many cigarette cards

Stalin wouldn't be my first choice as a subject for a cigarette card either.  Then again, how many cigarette cards are there of say Neville Chamberlain compared to Marlene Dietrich?

Here's another rare card for you all.  Odaliske cigarettes were apparently unknown until a few days ago.  Now here's a card from them.  Possibly the only one known in the whole world.

The set of 36 cards named Kidnapped issued 1935

Quite early for a U.K. bubble/chewing gum set,compared to the U.S. sets
The heyday for Bubblegum cards 1950's-70's in the U.K.
