Very rare (incomplete) set 33 of American M. Nelson statesman themed playing cards, circa 1863. Mr Rayner notes: 'The scarcity of this set cannot be overstated. Nelson also issued a companion set of Union generals playing cards, which is equally rare, and that both card sets have been reproduced in modern times. In fact, the cards from 1863, however, are virtually absent from the collecting world. Card playing reproduction sets are extremely popular and can easily be found for sale. The original was one the main diversions enjoyed by Civil War soldiers during the many lulls in battle, so it is not surprising that a company issued cards picturing the main military figures for each side. The Confederate set features all of the important leaders and generals in the campaign, including Confederate President Jefferson Davis (ten of spades), General Robert E. Lee (three of hearts), and General Stonewall Jackson (four of clubs). Each individual is featured in a bust-length illustration, with the card's denomination and suit depicted in the upper left corner. Like the tobacco cards of Civil War generals (issued in the late 1880s), which appeal to both Civil War and nonsport card collectors, the offered set has the potential to be highly prized by hobbyists from a number of different fields of collecting (nonsport cards, playing cards, Civil War, etc.). Unfortunately, its rarity has precluded it from being represented in all but the most advanced collections, and as far as we can tell, sets surface so infrequently that there is no consensus on value. Still, it is hard not to appreciate that this remarkably designed set of cards featuring Confederate generals and leaders, issued in 1863 during the heart of the Civil War, would not find a home among the same audience that so highly prizes cards issued of the same historical figures dating from decades later.'
