If you have a collection of cigarette cards or vintage trading cards please leave me a comment or contact me at
http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/Creamofcards-Cigarette-Cards . Specify the appoximate quantity of cards, the subjects covered (ie football, butterflies, military uniforms etc) and the name of the manufacturers (normally specified on the backs towards the bottom). The most important consideration is the condition of the cards because any slight damage can dramatically reduce the value of the cards. Below you will find a guide on how I grade cards.
Grading Cards
Mint: Exactly as issued.
Excellent: Clean back and front, including edges, sharp edges and sharp corners.
Very Good: Clean back and front, may have dirty and softened edges and rounded corners. No creases.
Good: Soiled on back or front. Blemished edges, rounded corners and one crease.
Fair: Creased, dirty or with mount damage to backs and possibly some picture surface missing.
Poor: Badly creased, dirty or with mount damage to backs and surface damage on backs and fronts.
