Large cards measuring 2.75" x 3.75" of some of the great players of the early 1920s. Chums started in 1892, published by Cassell & Co. Bought by Amalgamated Press in 1927, it was a weekly publication until 1932 when it went monthly but ceased being a regular publication in July 1934.

  1. Hi Alan, the David Jack card (unless there is a variant) is noted as a Bolton player. He joined Arsenal in 1928.

  2. The Alan Morton card mentions his first 11 Scotland caps, dating it between 12/04/1924 and 14/02/1925 (his 12th Scotland cap).
