The Titanic Cadbury Card


 
 


Considered to be the Holy Grail of Titanic and ship cards. This is a scarce 1909-1911 pre-sinking Cadbury's Chocolates Titanic/Olympic set of one card, produced in England to publicize the "largest steamers in the world" that were simultaneously under construction. The ship on the card is nameless and is meant to represent both ships as was frequently done since they closely resembled each other.

This is the only trade card known to show the Titanic prior to its sinking and one of the few pictures to be shown in color. Relatively unknown to the card-collecting hobby, it has the potential to be a highly priced non-sports card as the value continues to rise.

 

This condition sensitive card is almost always seen in poor quality. Below are examples of how it is typically found. Although this may possibly be one of the largest known collections of Cadbury Titanic cards (not all shown), it is still rare and even these collector-grade cards have a solid market value.
