Vintage non-sports cards are a rapidly-growing niche within the hobby. While there’s no distinct cutoff for “vintage” in the non-sports space, the mid 1980s is generally accepted as such, encompassing Presidents, entertainers, musicians and more. If they are historically famous, they likely have a card.

Do you collect vintage non-sports?

Picked up this vintage Pele card over the summer and I couldn't tell anything about the card's exact year or set. The design is similar to a newspaper clipping with little detail related to the card printed on it.

Would appreciate this community's assistance to learn more about it. Thanks in advance!

This will be quick. The 35 card 1955 Barratt Mickey's Sweet Cigarette set was released, as best understood by me, to be a single card with candy cigarettes. Based on the two pack "wrappers" that I have in my possession (front/back images attached), I would estimate that 4-5 candy cigarettes were placed in these packs. The goal of Barratt was to sell candy and the aspect of a card was a novelty. Again, my opinion.
What's interesting is that the other item shown is a box that I understand to contain the 1957 Mickey's Sweet Cigarette cards (50 card checklist) whereby the orange box likely contained 10-12 candy cigarettes, with a card packed inside.
I have no more specific information than this other than examining the packaging.
If the community could locate and identify for me in-tact packaging of either the 1955 or the 1957 Mickey's Sweet Cigarette packs, that would be fantastic.

Cheers.
