Aye, Fag Card skimming. The starter of many school-yard wars and fights. Gaining a full set of cards was the aim in life.
For some reason, it seemed to be a predominantly school-yard game in the 1940s/1950s. I never saw it played in the streets much. The streets seemed to be used mainly for comparisons of the various sets of cards owned by who-ever. But in the school-yard next day.... it was a daily MUST - at times.
It was heart-breaking, when having ALMOST a full set of cards, of a particular kind and then losing the bulk of the set next day - the word 'devastation' and all its meanings were born.
