I was 7 years old when I first started collecting swap cards and have built up a lovely collection and I’m always on the lookout for more. Originally, I collected the blank backs popular in the 1970’s that were purchased in toy shops and G J Coles stores and Myer. The concept had started when every pack of playing cards would have 2 spares that you could use if you lost a card and jokers were popular as ‘swaps’ too. This was a change from the footy cards we had been collecting, although I wish I had kept those too!

I am now selling some individual cards and sets for you to top up your own collections, these are mostly from playing card sets but if they have blank backs I will mention in the listing. Please ensure you check photos and description. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I will be adding more cards regularly. 

Postage via Australia Post (untracked). Happy to combine postage. Please let me know if you wish to order more than one set. Tracking is available at extra cost to buyer, $5 in Australia and please request a quote for tracked International mail.
