The History

The item in the image is a single, vintage playing card, specifically an unbranded "swap card" designed for collectors, rather than as part of a standard deck. The illustration depicts three fishermen on a coastline pulling in fishing nets. Based on its style, the card is likely vintage, potentially dating to the mid-20th century.

Swap cards were a hugely popular collecting trend in Australia, particularly during the 1970s. Enthusiasts, often children, would build large collections in albums or binders and participate in social "swapping" to acquire new cards and complete sets. This hobby fostered community interaction and the thrill of the hunt for rare designs. The card in the image is currently housed in a small, decorative gold frame with a light blue inner matting.

Comes as-is.
