The Society Journal - 'Cartophilic Notes & News'


The aim of the Society Journal is to provide members with a wealth of fascinating information on all the branches of Cartophily. Written entirely by collectors, for collectors, it is free of all commercial influences. Often described as interesting, informative, educational and sometimes controversial, it is universally acclaimed as the foremost of cartophilic reading.

Regular features include 'Research Report' and 'New Issues'. The Cartophilic Society is actively involved in research and much of this continuous dedicated work is recorded in the magazine prior to classification in the Society Reference Books. New issues are still regularly appearing from tobacco, tea and confectionery firms. Many members collect modern cards so every issue contains details of recently reported new issues.

Another popular regular feature is the 'Memberads' section, which provides, free of charge, opportunities for all members to sell, exchange and acquire cards.

It makes no difference what you collect . . . tobacco cards or modern Brooke Bond issues . . . your knowledge and appreciation of cards and cartophily will multiply as a subscriber.

"Cartophilic Notes & News" is published bi-monthly and is FREE to all members. Printing and postage costs are provided entirely from members subscriptions.
