==Other cigarette cards== Another notable and sought-after set of cards is the untitled series issued by Taddy and known by collectors as "Clowns and Circus Artistes". While not the rarest cards in existence (there are a number of series in which only one known example remains), they are still very rare and command high prices whenever they come up for auction. The [[T206 Ty Cobb]] is another example of a notably rare cigarette card.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Victor |first=Daniel |date=2016-03-07 |title=Ty Cobb Baseball Card Trove Reignites Dreams of Shoebox Jackpots |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/08/sports/ty-cobb-baseball-card-trove-reignites-dreams-of-shoebox-jackpots.html |access-date=2023-02-08 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> The Mecca cigarette trading card for [[George H. Sutton|George Sutton]] is also notable for it depicts him with hands. Sutton was known as "the handless billiard player"<ref>{{cite news|title=Sutton plays fine billiards; Handless Player's Remarkable Work Against Expert Thomas Gallagher.

Apart from these examples, there are also cigarette cards that do not focus on people, but on cities or flags. <gallery> File: Smyrna, from the City Flags series (N6) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands MET DP829236.jpg |Smyrna, from the City Flags series (N6) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands (1887) File:Big Run Cigarros, Flag of Smyrna (1910).jpg|Flag of Smyrna ([[İzmir]]) pictured on the „Flags of all nations series 150 designs“ File:Bavaria, from Flags of All Nations, Series 2 (N10) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands MET DP841363.jpg|[[Flag of Bavaria]] </gallery>
