All sorts of fun to be had with this stash, led by the sets in the title which include some appealing condition. The 1966 Philadelphia Gum Tarzan set shows minimal handling/wear, with many cards featuring NM-or-better characteristics, although close to half (30) are either miscut or badly off-center. More impressive is the 1968 CHIX Sport Through The Ages set, a 50-card affair from Great Britain with marvelous artwork and pretty much in as-issued condition. A few exceptions but NM-MT looks to be the average, with MINT examples to be zeroed-in on. An O-Pee-Chee RCMP set from 1973 is accompanied by a less-often-seen 30-card "Insignia" set, with EX-MT, NM and better being the norm. We're not sure about a 50-card set that has bilingual text on the backs of the cards and offers magic-like tricks and brain teasers. Edge toning is observed but hardly a crease. A big shoebox-like grab bag complements the aforementioned. Nine various card games in their original boxes are nifty and include 1962 Home-Run Baseball, Game of Flags of the United Nations and "Bible Game", the latter made in Israel. A small pile of cards includes a half dozen Topps Civil War, ten OPC Man On The Moon and a few Laugh-In, most of them in crease-free EX-or-better shape. Then it's a bunch of old tobacco cards, including a John Players Tennis 50-card set (G to VG), some lower grade duplicates and several miscellaneous partial and starter sets. Brooke Bond cards are also present, with similar "lots" from different sets. An unopened box of True Crime trading cards could also provide some entertainment, the same as some throw-ins.
