D.C. Thomson / Adventure / The Rover / The Skipper / The Wizard - THO-300/THO-14-4 Football Towns & Crests / Famous Ships


1931

THO-300/THO-14-4 Football Towns & Crests / Famous Ships
D.C. Thomson / Adventure / The Rover / The Skipper / The Wizard
32 cards

The four main comics published by D.C. Thomson gave away similar cards over an eight week period. These cards are usually found cut, so you'll usually get the Famous Towns & Crests without the Famous Ship attached. They are much harder to find in the complete uncut form.
