Jim, from Facebook page The Unofficial Liverpool Football Club Museum, has contacted me...

I collect Liverpool players pre and post their time with the club as well as when with obviously. I recently acquired this card and cannot see reference to an unnumbered series in your pieces on Crescent. Thought I would ask if you know any more about it?

Kind Regards, Jim

It is one of a collection of 100 very rare unnumbered cards, issued around 1925.
