The flea market scene here in Germany is pretty legit. There seem to be dozens around every community each weekend and even in the rain, the vendors are out braving the elements trying to make a Euro or two. I stumbled upon these two albums and was able to snag them at a decent price. I've seen them before, but have never been able to find ones that appealed to me. These 1933 albums and cards were printed by the Salem Cigarette Company out of Dresden Germany. The catalog numbers for Album #1 and #2 are 21903-5 and 21903-6, respectively. The cards are amazingly beautiful with the gold ink and you can see how it reflects in the photos below. There are some big names in these sets as well: Clark Gable, Greta Garbo, Gary Cooper, and John Barrymore to name a few. Album #1 has 180 cards in it while Album #2 has 270. I was looking online for a checklist, but wasn't able to find one so I'll post one to the Trading Card Database for Series 1 and Series 2. Thanks for stopping by.
