Where to Find the Amazing Inventions Cigarette Card Set in RDR2

The locations of the 12 Amazing Inventions Cigarette Cards are outlined below.

Camera Card

Travel to Saint Denis and, using your map as a reference, proceed to the “N” in “Denis.” A little ways north you should spot a photo shop. There’s another building with a balcony near the shop and on that balcony you’ll find the card.

Player Piano Card

Saint Denis is also where you’ll find the Player Piano card. Head over to the local saloon and investigate the piano to find the card.

Dynamite Card

The Dynamite card is found at the Shady Belle landmark which is at the southeastern-most point of the in-game map. At Shady Belle you’ll find a cabin and on that cabin’s porch you’ll find the card.

Steam Locomotive Card

Head west from Shady Belle until you reach the Bolger Glade landmark. Near Bolger Glade is a church building with the Steam Locomotive card inside. To reach the card, head up to the church’s second floor and look for a platform with a bird’s nest. Jump over to the platform and inspect the nest to find the card.

Manned Glider Card

There are two roads heading west out of Saint Denis. Take the northernmost road and head left at the fork across the bridge to reach a landmark called Caliga Hall. Just to the west of Caliga Hall is a barn and inside the barn you’ll find the Manned Glider card.

Fountain Pen Card

On your map, travel to the “O” in “Lemoyne” and then head slightly northeast. You should find a small school building and, on one of the desks inside, the Fountain Pen card.

Telegraph Card

To find the Telegraph card, begin at the Van Horn Trading Post in New Hanover. Head west and follow the train tracks north and you’ll eventually reach an unmarked train platform. The card is on a bench on that platform.

Buck’s Revolver Card

Appropriately enough, you’ll find the Buck’s Revolver card in the Annesburg gunsmith’s shop. For reference, Annesburg is in the northeastern-most part of the map.

Cylinder Phonograph Card

The Cylinder Phonograph card is incredibly easy to find. Head to Valentine, enter the saloon, and examine the window ledge facing out onto Main Street.

Electrical Execution Apparatus Card

If you head north from the first “E” in “West Elizabeth” and across Little Creek River you’ll find a homestead. Inside the homestead, underneath a set of bunk beds, you’ll find the Electrical Apparatus card.

Typewriter Card

You won’t be able to collect the Typewriter card until you can freely enter the town of Blackwater. Near the “E” in “Blackwater” is a warehouse and on a barrel near the warehouse’s entrance is the card.
