Matthews

It's not every day you a REAL one of these! You are more likely to see aliens in human clothing reading TV news (propaganda). Well, okay, so we do actually see those heartless beings every day. Bad allusion. Let's say you are more likely to see a weather girl take her clothes off on live TV, on your own TV set, before you see another one of these rare cards again. This is a genuine, card-based issue, not a paper copy (they have been doing the rounds on ebay). As with all of the originals these are cards, originals, from nigh on 70 years ago. They are not newly copied paper prints. ORIGINALS guaranteed

Brownish

LITHO type, mid-tone grey card, dark background print, brownish tint type

MUCH RARER than supposed ... as rare as the 1930s issues AND RARER STILL as these cards have 3 - THREE - varieties. Post war paper supplies, being what they were, were hit and miss; so too was the printing, which is why these appear in at least THREE varieties, on white paper, or on buff-toned grey paper, and with so many types of off-set and litho print styles, dark and light backgrounds, etc. Surely one of the most difficult series to find all varieties of and impossible to complete a full set!

1930's German rarity, Blackpool  legend, and Irish national team (Northern Ireland) star Peter Doherty, by Union Cigarettes. If you see this card these days it'll most likely be stuck-down into an album. Very few in any state survived the destruction and carpet bombing inferno inflicted upon Germany as World War Two closed. This is in VERY GOOD condition. There is a slight scratch over his left eye but the card stands justifiably as VERY GOOD.. You won't ever find better! VERY RARE. ?75.
