Anyone out there collect stuff with Chess on it?  Years ago I used to but had a house fire and was considering starting it up again.  Stuff I had then included cigarette cards with chess on them, a "Bishop's Move" tobacco tin, all sorts of comics (including "The Rook" and "Checkmate" and a lot of different ones with boards on the covers), various novels (in particular "The Eight" and "The Queen's Gambit"), various videos (including the obvious "Knight Moves", "Innocent Moves"), screenshots and loads of other stuff.  About all I have now are some pictures/prints with chess scenes on them but they feel a little ordinary.  Anyone have anything weird with chess on it?

No, but here are a couple of interesting chess-toys.

Apart from the usual suspects like pieces, boards, and books, I have a cigarette card:

Very nice.  I had a couple of cigarette cards, my favourite one was of a rook - it used gold leaf on it.  I would definitely like to at least pick up a few again and maybe frame 4 together.

I forgot to mention stamps!  There are some really awesome chess stamps out there - Stanley Gibbons even does a theme guide book just for chess stamps!

I couldn't resist this one - nothing to do with chess as such but still Chess Collectibles.
