The rules for jt:dging OFE remain in the experimental stage for the time being. Therefore the present criteria of judging multi frame exhibits has been adopted temporarily namely: Treatment and Importance, Knowledge and Research, Condition and Rarity, and Presentation. 2005-08-01T00:00:00Z https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/74128 Title: Maltese cigarette trade cards Abstract: Cigarette cards were originally intended to stiffen the flimsy paper packets in which cigarettes were packed in during those early days. The printing of the manufacturer's name or brand name on the cards followed and a picture on the reverse side was added soon after. Opinions differ as to which cards were issued first in Malta.
