Another newspaper cut-out, this time with a facsimile autograph. Please excuse the very small illustration, it's the only one I've ever found from this collection. Can anyone supply any further photos.

Another batch of Italian cards (and one marble), featuring John Charles and Gerry Hitchens. Can anyone identify which collections these cards come from? Season, Title, Issuer? Any help would be much appreciated.

Unknown number

Another collectable cut-out, though rather large as it's a full page advert from a contemporary comic or magazine. This is no. 1 in a numbered series of adverts. I don't know how many there were in total.

Crescent Confectionery (1926) - CRE-100 Sportsmen


1930-31
CRE-100 / CRM-3 Sportsmen
Crescent Confectionery
100 cards

These are very rare cards. Crescent Confectionery issued a number of sets of cards. One set containing only Footballers ran to 100 cards, were unnumbered and had a design on the backs. There was also 10 series of 10 cards with each series concentrating on a specific sport (see http://cartophilic-info-exch.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Crescent%20Confectionery). This collection of Sportsmen is similar in style to those in the series of 10, and has plain backs. Apparently there are 47 footballers in this collection.
UPDATE (20-11-2016 12:03):  Thanks to Steve Flemming for providing some additional information relating to the cricket cards in this collection.
UPDATE (09-10-2023 17:03):  Date amended to 1930-31. Read Carl Wilkes' amazing biography of this company here - The Crescent Confectionery Co. Ltd.

Football & Sports Favourite

Football & Sports Favourite started life as Football Favourite with the first issue on 4 September 1920. By 7 May the following year (issue 36) it had been renamed. The magazine usually had colour covers but this series of illustrations were intended to be cut out and collected. I've only got information on three of these issues.

The Glentoran Gazette is the title of the matchday programme for Glentoran F.C., which is produced by the Glentoran Supporters Committee (1923). In 2001/02 season a set of 20 collector cards were given with the programme, probably one per match. They were issued in association with Speedfit. I only know of 3 cards.

Italy

A number of small cards, John Charles and Gerry Hitchens. Two ex-Cardiff City players who had successful spells in Italy. Can anyone identify which collections these cards come from? Season, Title, Issuer? The top two might come from the same set, the same with the bottom two, even though the typeface is different. Any help would be much appreciated.
