  1. Alan, You quote this series as F & J Smith Albion Gold Flake but I have the following different issues for the Footballers series:

    50 Smiths Glasgow Mixture Cigarette
    69 Smiths Orchestra Cigarettes
    76 and 107 Smiths Pinewood cigarettes
    106 Smiths Kashan cigarettes

    The card numbers refer to the same player as you list for Albion Gold Flake.

    Thanks, Martin

    1. Hi Martin,

      Thanks for your comment, I'm not an expert on these cards and it seems they are vari-backed rather than multi-backed. Various brands are listed on the backs of the cards, but all cards are only available with one brand.

      I'll be taking reference to Albion Gold Flake Cigarettes off the title and listing the brands as part of the checklist.

      Thanks for your help,

      Alan
