I don't know hardly anything about these cards, except that Topps issued a series devoted to mostly cars in it's "World On Wheels" series. I didn't think these were
Topps cards until I recently acquired one and sure enough, on the back is the Topps copyright "T.C.G" (Topps Chewing Gum). I liked this one because I love
Motorcycles, and Norton motorcycles, like Triumphs, Indians, Harley Davidson's, etc., are considered "classic" bikes. Combine that with a vintage card and I think you
have something. These cards are very affordable; I picked this 1954 Topps World On Wheels #7 Norton English Motorcycle card up for ten bucks (probably what it
cost to have graded). I have no idea if I paid too much or what, but I do know that I didn't mind parting with ten bucks for this cool card so it is worth it to me.
On this page we feature our "card of the month." The card may be an expensive or rare card, or it may even be worth a penny and a "common." It doesn't matter. A favorite quote of mine is from a friend and fellow collector Max Keddy, who said "I never met a card I didn't like." I feel much the same way. Essentially, if you do not get enjoyment out of your cards, you are in the wrong hobby. If you love baseball (like I do), then you gotta love the cards. So, expensive or cheap, what you see is what you get on our CARD OF THE MONTH PAGE! Enjoy!
