Cartophilics And Collectors Alike

Whilst the word “cartophilic” would suggest our interest is primarily in cards – cigarette cards, trade cards and post cards; our members have a wide range of collecting interests including badges, posters and other ephemera items. Through Society membership, our newsletter, card fairs, postal auctions and items for sale we cater for the needs of most serious collectors. We hope that you enjoy our website and that you will join us in this very interesting and addictive hobby. All the information that you need is here, if you want more, please contact us
