It's funny but I have not thought of these cards since I was a kid in the 1950's. But seeing them now brings back all sorts of memories of trading them, flipping them, and having them confiscated by teachers.

These drawings are taken from actual photographs of the men. Pretty cool set. The one of Billy the Kid is similar to how Rick Geary draws him in his book The True Death of Billy the Kid.

I had only baseball cards. I feel deprived.

The text on Billy's card is pure fiction, of course, but the cards are neat. I had some Old West cards when I was in the sixth grade but finding them again has been impossible.

Where's the red transparent cellophane?

I'd love those

I'm betting Mike B has the last original shhets of Look-n-See red celephane on the planet.
