Also wanted to add, some of these cards had albums released so people could glue the cards in. The albums are equally beautiful but also the reason why a lot of tobacco cards are completely missing the paper on back.
Not sure if those should or can be somehow added accordingly to the set.

It was in fact quite usual in the 1930's for English Tobacco cards, to have the text on back added on top of dried glue, those where meant to be put in albums.(John Player's & Son - W.D & H. O. Wills mostly)
Do not try to take them out with water, the text will wear off with the glue, these cards are also available non stuck in albums.
I don't collect these albums, for that reason.

And now I feel like looking into my non-sports cards again. Got a bunch of Wills cigarettes cards stashed away, plus a Duke Postage stamp set I’ve been putting off forever to finish.

What is the accepted place for documenting the albums? Packaging?
We have some petrol station sets from here in NZ that have (I pressume) similar albums that could be cataloged.

Albums go in to packaging. There is a selection for that.
Front and back images please. And an internal one if it is of merit.
