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.
1922 THO-355/THO-17-2 Footballers - Scottish Signed Real Photos D.C. Thomson / Adventure Scotland 22 Beautiful cards, with a facsimile autograph on the back. The Scottish version has S. Puddefoot as being a Falkirk player, but the English version has him as being a West Ham United player.

1926 The "Gem" Footer Puzzle The Gem Library 1 sheet Paul Briers sent in these two scans of a sheet given away with The Gem Library. It's the first time that I have seen this item, it's not even listed in the Cartophilic Society reference books. No Cardiff City player included, so I don't have to add this to my 'wants' list. The white circles are actually holes and the puzzle was to try and fold the sheet so that all the players would be visible at the same time. The solution was printed in the following weeks' issue of the story-paper. You can click on the photos to access much larger versions of the photos. C.M. Buchan (Arsenal) W.H. Walker (Aston Villa) J. Bradford (Birmingham) S. Puddefoot (Blackburn Rovers) Joe Smith (Bolton Wanderers) J. Hill (Burnley) Howard-Baker (Chelsea) A.L. Morton (Glasgow Rangers) C. Stephenson (Huddersfield Town) F. Roberts (Manchester City) F. Barson (Manchester United) J. Lansdale (Millwall) J.G. Cock (Plymouth Argyle) W. Gillespie (Sheffield United) T. Clay (Tottenham Hotspur) J. Ruffell (West Ham)

1914 Scottish Footballers Scottish Sunday Mail Scotland Unknown number These coloured portraits were printed on paper and individual items you see these days have been cut from sheets, with each measuring approximately 55 x 73mm. 17 known so far, but I think there must be at least one more, which would make two sheets of 9 players.

2013/14 Match Attax 2013/14 Topps 445 cards + 6x3 LE's Thanks to Jimmy on Football Card Forum who discovered the difference in the Bryan Ruiz card, and to pholla65 also on the Football Card Forum. who confirmed it. I've also included example of the Yoan Gouffran and Sylvain Marveaux cards, both photos are of Marveaux. Although a mistake was made these can't be described as error cards in the same way as the others. Only if Topps issues a replacement card for Gouffran will there be an error card. Finally, I've also included two Cardiff City cards, where the same image was used for both players. Andreas Cornelius only player a few minutes for Cardiff City in the red and black kit, coming on the 90th minute of Cardiff City's win over Manchester City on the second weekend of the season. Topps didn't have a photo of him available and ended up superimposing his head on the body of Joe Mason. I only spotted it because they picked a player who appears next to him in the collection. Cornelius has been injured for most of this season, so a replacement card looks unlikely at the moment. Here's a link to the complete checklist for this set: http://cartophilic-info-exch.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/topps-match-attax-201314-5.html Preview pack only - not in Official Collection 21.
