ABOUT THE AUTHOR - DAVID ELLIOTT

My name is David Elliott. Thank you for visiting my web site. This web site is primarily about WA sports but it does cover many other national sets.

I have been collecting Australian Trade and Cigarette cards for about 8 years and have recently been concentrating on those issued in Western Australia
or those sets showing Western Australian sportsmen and women.

Becastateuse of the difficulty of deciding if a sports person was actually resident in the at the time of the card issue,
I have restricted my listing to only those sets that specifically mention that person's WA sporting club or show club colours.
This restriction tends to eliminate many sets such as cricket where the sports person is noted in the national sense, rather than that of the state.

It is certainly true that the manufacturers we tend to associate with some sets of cards were in fact only sponsors and that the cards were actually issued
by the sporting clubs themselves. However the use of the sponsor's name, i.e. Healthways, usually makes it easier to identify the set.

If you can help me further expand my list or if you have any suggestions for improvement or correction, I would welcome your email.
My email address is listed at the bottom of this document.


WANT TO BUY OR SWAP?

I have many 1000s of Australian trade and cigarette cards to swap covering all themes and have access
to many 1000s more dating from the early 1900s.

Drop me an email to start a discussion. There is no obligation to swap or buy.
Please bear with me while I add missing images to the site.
