25 cards
Apparently these cards were given away with the Grimsby Town programme during the 1952/53 season. Very collectable and very rare. It seems to be a set of 25 cards, but it is possible that cards No. 4 and No. 15 weren't issued. The club played 23 home League games that season, but also played two games at home in the F.A. Cup. Any information on this would be much appreciated.

4 and 15 were issued, though I don't know who they were. I was a Junior School at the time and definitely completed the set. Not that I have any now....
ReplyDeleteHi Peter, thanks for letting us know. Perhaps details of these two cards will come to light eventually.
DeleteNumber 25 is P. Johnston (Left Half). I'm missing numbers 4 and 9 as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris
