Scarce set of 24 numbered cards describing individual card tricks. Issued by Duke with their Honest Long Cut cigarettes in 1887. Each back contains great detail and purposely does not match the trick shown on the front, which was an incentive to collect all of them. The fronts have beautiful color illustrations. Burton Sperber’s full set was auctioned by Potter & Potter in early 2014 for $3500.
