Welcome | Cardworld

Welcome to Card World

.... the virtual version of the Cartophilic Society, encouraging, and promoting card collecting for almost a century.

And also bringing collectors together, wherever they live, and whatever sort of cards they love.

We are currently having a bit of a late spring clean. So this week you will find the latest news on the rolling banner, at the moment this links to our events page, our bookshop, and our weekly newsletter. However do watch that space, for the content will be changing more regularly, and allowing you to connect more easily with anniversaries from our past.

Books, glorious Books...

Our Bookshop is open all hours, and offers secure payment facilities on our Tobacco and Trade Indexes, plus Handbooks. We also have titles devoted to one single issuer, or to the wonderful worlds of silks, laces, and leathers.

Card of the day

Every night, at about midnight, we pop in and display the front of a new card. You get till 8pm that night to test your card knowledge, just for fun. The cards on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday are clues to the week`s theme, which provides the subject of the rest of the cards of the week. And if any reader would like to send us a jpeg scan of the front and the back of an unusual card which is relevant to that theme, or any information, please do - the email address is webmaster@card-world.co.uk And you can see all the cards of that week, plus read what we have discovered, or been told about them, in our weekly newsletter, which is uploaded, for all visitors to read, free of charge, every Saturday morning.
