Brooke Bond Picture Cards

Does anyone else remember this book? Early 1960s I think. Probably the first book that got me interested in fish and from that, an interest in fishing.

I collected that set and completed it but because I was already hooked. A wonderful collection. I suspect it was sold when my parents downsized their home in the early 1990s.

It wasn’t the only set I collected though, oddly, I wasn’t then and never have been a tea drinker!

I've got one of those and one on Butterflies.
They are nice things to have.
Does anyone know what other cards they did to collect ?

Always exciting when mother opened a fresh packet of Tea.

I have a complete book, unfortunately the lad who originally collected the cards decided to crayon round the card borders.



I also have this John Player and Sons complete card book but the cover has split from the rest of the book, the only date reference I can find is 1934 but I don't know if there were other issues.

I have that book and used to have the one on dinosaurs

I have/had a full set of fish, Tropical birds, and butterflies as well as Thunder Birds and The Man From Uncle cards that came with bubblegum. There are countless examples of reproduction cards being sold in frames which still look pretty good on the wall.

The first cards I collected were the one's in the bubblegum packs for the Battle of Britain film , then they did them for Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's UFO

I collected the Butterflies, Birds, and from the bubble gum series The American Civil War cards with replica bank notes from the period. Theses cards were band at my school for they where considered too bloodthirsty for us young schoolboys.
