1935 Ardath Cricket, Tennis, and Golf Celebrities Overview

Bill Tilden Tennis 1935 Ardath.jpg1935 Ardath Golf CelebritiesThis UK set was distributed inside of packages of Ardath Cork Cigarettes. As indicated by the name of the set, it included cards of athletes from cricket, tennis, and golf. Fronts of the cards have color pictures of the athletes and the backs include a short description. Backs also indicated the cards were adhesive and they were often affixed into albums as a result.

According to PSA, there are two different types of backs – those printed in brown ink (from New Zealand) and those with gray backs (England). The New Zealand ones are considered to be rarer and more expensive.

Cricket is the sport most included in this set as it is represented with 30 cards, including star Jack Hobbs. Golf and tennis make up the final 20 cards and include notable names such as Bill Tilden and Helen Wills-Moody, as well as other Hall of Famers, from tennis.
