To back up your dating view on this set:
ReplyDeletethe most recent events that are definitely listed are summer 1960 (Wolves' FAC win, Soton D3 title, Man U leading scorer & Jack Marshall as Blackburn mgr.)
The FAC wins of 1961 & 1962 are NOT listed on Spurs card; the listed managers of Norwich & WBA (Macaulay & Clark) BOTH left those roles in Oct 1961 and Stoke's D2 win of 1962/3 is not mentioned.
Also I can find no mention of the League Cup (first final Aug 1961) nor notable events of summer 1962 (Stoke winners of D2 & national prominence of Ipswich.
So, the best evidence suggests the cards were printed between May 1960 and Oct 1961.
Thank you very much, excellent research. I'll list the set as 1960-61.
