listing note....I'm going to be a gramma any day now....so if you see my listings getting low, not to worry I'm just enjoying my wonderful grandson. I also want to take a minute and say "Thank You" to my ebay family for all your well wishes...I cannot tell you how blessed I am with the most amazing ebay family, you all are “INCREDIBLE”

I was listing them all individually and then decided, this is too much work...so here you go all in a big lot....Very nice grouping of antique trade cards. I like to find the best I can for you…these are all very nice….there are some not too many, that have a bit of scrapbook residue on the back…I am very sure you can get it off, but I just leave them as found. But its just a few over on the very left side of the table…this is not a little kitchen table, this is a huge work shop table that they’re on. CONDITION - the best ones are the ones in the best condition(at least the ones that I think are the best Veggies/hit miss engine/lawnmower/the first one pictured/etc....The one that has 3 side standing up, it has some scrapbook residue on it too. The others are very nice, some are in fantastic condition, like all the veggies they are probably the nicest (all three)…and the rest you might find (on the backside mostly) a little darkening from aging or some minor discoloration, or dirtiness again mostly on backside, and its definitely not on all…maybe on one/two some writing mostly in pencil, and just normal age related wear…there are 5 in a series (picture 8 shows some of them, the ones on the right) that I did not get all pictured...they are girls playing with dolls and stuff…the colors are not as bright as I like to see them…I think someone removed them from a scrapbook using steam or water, they‘re still nice but I think when you remove using steam/water, it changes the colors, that‘s why I never do that….but these were purchased just as you see them….I am sorry I did not get to take photos of all cards…but you get the idea how nice they are…there are some rarer ones in here too…..you might find one/two with a tiny corner imperfection but really I think you’ll be very, very happy with this lot…..lastly, I am listing another grouping, the next group will be all the ones that had more scrapbook on the backside, but still very nice cards.

SHIPPING - FIRST, WOULD LOVE TO COMBINE....ALSO, I QUOTE TO USA RESIDENTS USPS FIRST CLASS SHIPPING, IF YOU ARE IN A HURRY LET ME KNOW AND I WILL CHANGE IT TO PRIORITY...FIRST CLASS IS PRETTY SLOW FROM MAINE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LOOKING, I REALLY DO APPRECIATE IT.....if you have a minute, please take a peek at my other listings........MARGIE

NOTE TO MY EBAY FAMILY - NEW SHIPPING POLICY PLEASE READ VERY IMPORTANT - eBay is forcing us to put insurance on each item…more shipping expense can you believe it…so, I AM TRYING TO REACH THE NEW “SELLER” DESIGNATION. I DON’T USUALLY CARE ABOUT DESIGNATIONS BUT eBay reduces fees, and IF IT WILL HELP SAVE MONEY then I can lower SHIPPING COST, THEN IT MAY BE WORTH IT….I WILL WORK MY BUM OFF TO MAINTAIN THIS DESIGNATION BUT I WILL NEED YOUR HELP…I WILL NEED 5 STAR RATING ON EVERYTHING, AND I HAVE MADE IT, THANKS TO YOU, ON THE AREAS I HAVE TOTAL CONTROL OVER - DESCRIPTION / COMMUNICATION, ETC - BUT WERE I’M RIGHT ON THE EDGE IS THE AREA I DON’T HAVE TOTAL CONTROL OVER - SHIPPING TIME AND SHIPPING COST - LIVING IN MAINE THE PACKAGES SEEM TO TAKE A FEW DAYS LONGER THEN MOST TO REACH THEIR DESTINATION, AND EFFECTIVE SEPT 22 EBAY IS FORCING US TO PUT INSURANCE ON EACH PACKAGE AND TELLING US TO JUST FOLD IT INTO TOTAL SHIPPING COST, CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT, LIKE ITS NO BIG DEAL…BUT TO ME IT IS…SO THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO - IF I CAN MAINTAIN THIS RATING BECAUSE EBAY REWARDS THESE SELLERS THEN I CAN/WILL ONLY QUOTE / CHARGE FOR PARCEL POST SHIPPING (ON MOST LISTINGS) AND I WILL COVER THE COST TO UPGRADE TO PRIORITY SHIPPING,THIS WAY IT WILL GET THERE FASTER AT THE LOWEST SHIPPING COST TO YOU. NOW ABOUT SHIPPING TIME - I REALLY CAN’T GET THEM OUT FASTER THEN I ALREADY DO, I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THEM OUT THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY OR DAY AFTER. SO HERE IS WHERE I NEED YOUR HELP - TO REACH & MAINTAIN 5 STARS….I WOULD APPRECIATE (IF YOU THINK I HAVE EARNED IT) A 5 STAR RATING HERE. IF I CAN MAKE IT AND MAINTAIN IT, I CAN KEEP SHIPPING COSTS DOWN, WHICH IS MY ULTIMATE GOAL, BUT IF YOU DON’T THINK I EARNED 5 STARS, WILL YOU LET ME KNOW WHY SO THAT I CAN DO BETTER, I REALLY APPRECIATE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS THIS IMPORTANT! I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS NOTE.

****As I say in all my listings, my items are very old, so please do not expect them to be perfect, I take alot of pictures (most cases) and sometimes rely on them to help you determine condition, as it would be maddening for me to list every little thing on items at, close to, or over 100 years old....I never buy new things. I buy things that are usually primitive and/or beautiful to my eye.....I love the amazing patina, the imperfections, the smell, just everything about old stuff is great to me, and I think if your looking at my items, you know what I'm talking about...........I TRY TO BUY (AT OUR LOCAL AUCTIONS HERE IN MAINE) THE BEST ITEM I CAN FIND AT A REASONABLE PRICE, SO I CAN PASS IT ON TO YOU, SO SOME ITEMS MAY NOT BE "PERFECT" BUT IT WILL NEVER BE JUNK!! No matter what, I'm absolutely positive that you will love what you buy from me......if you have any other questions, please feel free to email me.......but please do not bid if you are not 100% confident that you have enough information to accurately determine the items condition.....I love to help, so do not hesitate to ask me for more pictures......and again, thank you so much for looking at our items........Margie
