Football cards and stickers issued around the world, from the 1880's to the present day and even some that haven't been issued yet. I don't have any cards for sale, nor do I provide valuations, this blog is just a means of passing on information I have gathered over many decades of collecting. Alan Jenkins.

There are over 250 cards in the complete set, but the sporting personalities are usually listed as a sub-set. These cards can be found in two versions, as detailed below. All the cards are very rare. There are really only six footballers in the collection, C.B. Fry is included even though he appears as a cricketer. He was a famous all-rounder who also player football for Southampton.
