4—'Two Million Cigarette Cards '
Frederick Bason
Collectors of today who have to gather modest sets of twenty-five or fifty have no idea of the difficulties of the old-timer such as Mr. Bason. One series of Guinea Gold cards issued about forty years ago consisted of six thousand ; no collector has a complete set.
Mr. Bason also collects autographs
-he has ten thousand-and is the author of a Somerset Maugham bibliography and the ' Cigarette Card Handbook '.
