100  stickers

This is a 16 page album given away with The Gem Library storypaper. The inserts were cut from sheets. These had to be cut out and stuck into the relevant position in the album. There were a number of sections but I'm only interested in getting details about the final section, The Year's Sport.

  1. I have the completed album.
    Numbers 91 to 99 were the sport stamps.
    Number 91 being the best stamp showing King George V presenting the FA Cup.
    Hope this helps. Barry
