1910 Birds Series (T42/T43)

The 1910 bird series cards, particularly those within the T42 Mecca and related sets, offer a fascinating glimpse into early 20th-century popular culture and natural history. These cards, often distributed with tobacco products, featured beautifully rendered illustrations of various bird species, capturing the public's growing interest in ornithology. The sets were produced with either white or gold borders, and are popular with collectors. These cards are not only valued for their aesthetic appeal and historical significance, but also as a testament to the era's promotional practices. The cards give a great look into what the general public was interested in at that period of time.

Are sports cards valuable ?

Like all collectibles, over time some sports cards go down in value, others go up and some can even become very valuable. Card values are based on many factors: player popularity, scarcity, condition & collector interest. A card can be scarce but without demand value may not be great.

Q: What are some ways to collect cards ? * Complete sets by year & issue
* Cards of your favorite player
* Cards of your favorite team "TEAM SETS"
* Rookie cards
* Hall-of-Famer cards
* I even had a girlfriend that collected Don Mossi (checkout his ears), players whose last name start with "Z", and the Brett brothers George & Ken (she had a crush on George).
* "TYPE COLLECTING" (everyone should at least do a little of this !)

"Type Collecting"
is collecting at least one of each different "type" of issue. On scarcer issues you can add a less expensive common while on others you can select your favorite player or team.
