D.C. Thomson / Adventure - THO-195-1/THO-8-1&2 Famous British Footballers - English/Scottish issue


1921-22
THO-195-1/THO-8-1 Famous British Footballers - English issue
THO-195-1/THO-8-2 Famous British Footballers - Scottish issue
D.C. Thomson / Adventure
18 cards

The front cover of the first issue of Adventure displayed the first eight cards in the series - in England showing the English cards and the Scottish version of the story-paper showing the Scottish cards. The Scottish cover is much the harder to find. Andy Wilson appears in both sets, but only Jock Marshall was issued simultaneously in England and Scotland.
