Cigarette & Trade Card Valuations
From history to high value – unearth the worth of your collectable cigarette cards
Cigarette cards originate from the late nineteenth century and were first produced in America. Often beautifully illustrated, an early cigarette cards value will depend upon the period of history it documents and its condition.
Providing accurate cigarette card valuations requires a detailed understanding of the history of each manufacturer and the cards they issued.
As a leading international provider of cigarette card valuations, we are trusted for our knowledge and expertise. If you’re thinking of selling collectable cigarette cards, our valuations are meticulously researched and can be relied upon.
Boasting a reputation which is second to none among cigarette card collectors and clubs alike, you can rely on our friendly and useful advice to help you achieve the maximum possible returns on any items you may want to sell.
Our expertise is free to all UK residents and you will not be under any obligation to sell your cards. Depending on the collection, we may offer to sell your collection in one of our specialist cigarette card auctions or offer for sale by private treaty.

Factors which affect a cigarette card’s price
When it comes to assessing a cigarette cards price or value, condition is of paramount importance.
Cards which have been stuck down, even in a specially designed album, or are damaged will be of little value.
Other factors which influence a cigarette card valuation are:
- Age
- Rarity
- Manufacturer
- Title of the set
- Image on the front
Although cigarette cards' values do fluctuate, most collectors take up the hobby for the love of collecting and not for their worth.
However, we are always delighted when one of our cigarette card valuations is met by an unexpectedly positive reaction.

Based in Warwick, our experts are known for their accurate valuations. We can also offer free advice about the best way to sell via public auction or a private treaty sale.
Written valuations for probate and insurance purposes are available upon request for a modest fee.
No Online Valuations
We are always happy to receive emailed images of your collection, but accurate assessments require detailed research and hands-on inspection to determine condition. If you’d like to arrange a valuation, please get in touch - we’re here to help you get the most from your collectables.
Auction or a dealer?
Auctions can attract competitive bids from global collectors, often leading to higher returns, especially rare or unique items, where demand drives up prices.
Dealers operate at substantial profit margins and offer to buy at considerably less than items would achieve at auction. If you require an immediate sale, we may consider a private treaty offer.
