Antique Victorian Trade Card Scrapbook Album - Black Americana / Racist Images

This fantastic 42 page album is 18 x 14 inches. It contains at least 500 or more small scraps (more than I could count), and over 350 trade cards and greeting cards (the vast majority are trade cards.) It is in relatively good condition, with most of the pages still attached, but the spine itself has come away from the cover. T are several rips, and a few images missing, don't know if they fell out or were removed at some point. T are a number of prime examples of Black Americana / Racist trade cards and images (including one black man playing the banjo, and one with a cotton ball as his head!) T is also a complete Hood's Sasparilla Calendar Card from 1892, intact and in good shape.

Please note: due to problems in the past with bidders new to Ebay, I will not be accepting bids from anyone with less than two positive feedback.

Personal checks and only USPS money orders are accepted, no cashier checks of any kind. Checks will take up to 14 business days to clear, no shipment until then.

Please note: I am not an expert on trade cards. I cannot determine if any or all of the cards in this album have been trimmed or are whole. Please use the photos to make that determination yourself. If you like, I can take and send you additional photos of specific cards, just email me and I will respond. Thank you.
