20 cards

Roger Pashby has been in touch again, this time regarding a German issue:
Just been looking at your Greiling info and I can add another one to the lists, although it's a series way beyond yours! I have a Series 21 card - no. 3 - of the captains shaking hands at the 1928 FA Cup Final.
The text roughly translates as "Before the English Cup Final, 1928. The captains Healless (Blackburn Rovers) and Stephenson (Huddersfield Town) shake hands. Rovers won 3:1"
Looking at your lists, this makes this an odd card in that it doesn't feature German players or teams.
Kind rgds, Roger
There is a fault with that Greiling card in that Blackburn did NOT play in red - they wore navy blue shirts!
Greiling was a very prolific cigarette card issuer during the 1920s and 1930s (I'll deal with the 1930s issues later). Here's a list of the various sets that I know about and I've included the number of cards in each set, where known.

UPDATE (09-06-2022 02:52):  As part of a project to get as much information about the 1000's of Greiling cards on my blog I have commandeered this post to show the partial checklist for the 20 cards in the series that originally illustrated this post.
