here is one from 1935 - Waltham Vanguard 23 jewel - used to have one without the wind indicator, which is especially special ;)

I LIKE !!!
Of course train times would always be quoted what I call digitally. Always 9.46 not 14 to 10.

These collectors make us look sane
Let's face it, the actual production cost of that card was probably not even $1

its not the production cost of the card, but the cost of transporting it safely through time.

Jesus, that is madness. Im sure that exact card is super rare, but the collector market is super super saturated with various SW media. There are tons of other Luke cards out there of various sorts.

Too much work, too little play, for too long a time - but I’m sure it will ease at some point - at least thats what I keep saying to myself :)
