Football & Sports Favourite / Sports Fun
168 'stamps'
The previous articles regarding this collection can be found here - http://cartophilic-info-exch.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/football-sports-favourite-sports-fun_23.html and http://cartophilic-info-exch.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/football-sports-favourite-sports-fun.html - including an alphabetical list of all 168 'stamps'.
Bob Thomas has sent in an e-mail relating to this collection which may explain the confusion regarding the name of the issuing magazine:
About http://cartophilic-info-exch.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/football-sports-favourite-sports-fun_23.html.
Trevor says that the last 2 sheets were issued by Football Special & Sporting Pictorial.
This could be because Sports Fun folded about this time; both the magazines were Amalgamated Press issues.
See http://www.philsp.com/data/data174.html.
I see that JF Sporting Collectibles has listed the stamps under the Sports Fun banner in its auctions.

Football cigarette cards, trading cards and stickers issued around the world, from the 1880's to the present day and even some that haven't been issued yet. Please be aware, I don't have any cards for sale, this blog is a means of passing on information I have gathered over many decades of collecting. Alan Jenkins.
