More about the history of cigarette cards...
The first cigarette cards were introduced around 1875 to stiffen cigarette packaging and advertise different brands. Early card designs included famous actors, athletes, Native American chiefs, and more. The first to make cigarette cards was the Allen and Ginter Tobacco Company in the United States, but companies in Europe soon picked up on the trend, too. John Player and Sons produced one of the first-known collectors sets in 1893, called "Castles and Abbeys." Cigarette cards are usually issued in sets of 25 or 50 with a related theme, though some had as many as 100 cards in a single set.
