They produced around 90 sets of cigarette cards starting in 1885 and ending in 1939. They are rare and often expensive and as such become increasingly sidelined in the mainstream collecting world. Unless you put yourself out to obtain them it is just not going to happen. The other theme was collecting a card from every set that ever was. Hmm, not the best scan I have ever seen, the cards are actually a darn sight better.
Poker is played by any number from two to eight with an ordinary pack of fifty-two cards.
All suits are equal and the cards are ranked as usual, the Ace counting highest except in a sequence from one to five. No 10 five odd cards Each player may discard any or all of the five cards dealt to him, taking from the dealer others in exchange. In the early days of cigarette card production there was no wordage on the reverse. Sometimes they were blank, for the most part they had some ornate reverse with the brand of the tobacco firm written large to make sure you knew exactly where they had come from. This card, right at the end of the cards mainstream production returns to this idea.
