The Comic Trading cards were blank-backed cards that came in packs of (12) cards and were issued in places like F.W. Woolworth and other outlets. The cards were issued over a long period and for different topics for different comic strips. Subjects from Lil' Abner, Blondie and Dagwood and even Superman were all shown on the comic trader cards during the period that is believed to have been from about 1930-1949.
This lot is for a single Comic Trader header card that was likely posted above a box or boxes of the Comic Trader cards. The header card is from F.W. Woolworth--by far, the largest 'dime store' of the day. The card notes that assorted decks of 12 cards each could be had of the Comic Trading Cards for a dime. The header pictures Mammy Yokum from Lil' Abner on one side and Cookie Schmoo on the other side. The card has some creasing and a small piece missing as well as some tape adhered to a lower corner. Overall fair condition but very scarce piece of nonsports card history.
