<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pat P, post: 7840, member: 201&quot;]Ah, I&#039;m not so much a collector now as a storer and sometimes seller. These days I&#039;m not buying anything... got too much of all sorts of things and trying to figure out what to do with it all! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I inherited a few Victorian scrap albums 14 years ago, which was my first introduction to the cards. It piqued my interest and I purchased more albums and cards on eBay and tried to learn what I could about them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Trade cards helped fuel the scrapbooking craze in the late 1900s since they were free and fun. Most scrap albums I&#039;ve seen from the era are filled with trade cards, one-sided greeting cards, small prints, die-cut scrap pieces, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as I can tell, the most valuable ones usually have themes like sports, politics, etc. My favorites usually are the ones that are the most aesthetically pleasing, though. Not worth a lot, but I love them anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
