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.
UPDATE (03-02-2024 15:55): I have been sent a complete checklist for this collection. The cards are unnumbered and the numbers used here are for reference purposes only.

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.
