Buyer's premium:

This lot comprises a collection of vintage trading cards, primarily housed in clear plastic pocket pages within two-ring binders. Visible series include Panini ‘JESUS’ (dated 1977 ITC), depicting biblical scenes and figures, and Panini ‘MARCO POLO’, showing historical scenes related to his travels. These Panini cards feature text in multiple languages, including English, French, German, Italian, and Dutch, often detailing collection instructions. Also present are cards from ‘Verkades Album “VETPLANTEN”‘ (Succulent Plants) by Verkade’s Fabrieken N.V. Zaandam. These cards feature detailed illustrations of various succulents like Lithops and cacti, with Dutch text, some detailing instructions for exchanging duplicate cards or identifying specific plant types such as ‘Geknoo-steentje’ (Knotted Stone) or ‘Praacht-steentje’ (Beautiful Stone). Additional unidentified series depicting what appear to be classical painting reproductions and figures in desert/Middle Eastern attire are also included. The cards are made of paper or cardboard.
