These are usually found cut to single cards rather than as complete booklets or complete sheets. Some players feature twice, as both a portrait and action shot. The illustration above shows how the pages were stapled together in booklet form.

I have the Doherty card in this set. I also have a paper transfer which uses exactly the same image, even down to the italicised capitals in white. I have always attributed this to Sunnyvale too; do you know anything about these transfers?
