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.

50 cards (14 Cricket, 12 Cycling, 12 Football, 12 Golf)
Of the 12 football cards most are rugby, and some can be rather ambiguous, 'Forward' for example. The cards are multi-backed as can be seen by some of the examples shown here. As usual the cards shown are not to scale.

How about a COMPLETE list of what card is what sport?
ReplyDeleteI only have information on the football cards. Most are rugby, 'Forward', 'Full Back' and 'Half Back' could be rugby or football, whilst 'Inside Left', 'Inside Right' and 'Socker' can only be football.
