1922
COM-140/COS-1 Sports Champions
Amalgamated Press / Comic Life
8 cards (4 Footballers)
These cards were issued in pairs, at the same time as similar cards in it's sister paper Lot-o-Fun.
1. Georges Carpetnier (Boxing) - issue dated 30 September, 1922
2. E. Barry (Sculling) - issue dated 30 September, 1922
3. Andrew Wilson (Middlesbrough) - issue dated 7 October, 1922
4. Thomas Burgess (Swimming) - issue dated 7 October, 1922
5. Jack Dempsey (Boxing) - issue dated 14 October, 1922
6. Donald McKinley (Liverpool) - issue dated 14 October, 1922
7. J.T. Howcroft (Champion League Referee) - issue dated 21 October, 1922
8. Harry Jones (Nottingham Forest) - issue dated 21 October, 1922
The image used for Harry Jones is the same as Pinnace #95 'J Armstrong' (H Jones #94 in this series is a different person) - One of them is incorrect - looks like Comic Life from other team pictures I have.
ReplyDeleteHi Bryan,
DeleteThanks for pointing out the error. I've got good scans of all three of those cards so I'll ad a new post in a day or two.
