I am not sure reference THO-230 is correct as that seems to refer to a 20 page booklet as per British Trade Index part II. Also reference THO-204 refers to the 2nd series of 16 cards which does not appear to be shown in your index.
ReplyDeleteI have recently acquired 8 cards from series 2 and was looking to check them out. I also have a different plastic wallet entitled "My Wallet of Famous Teams in Football History - presented with the New Hotspur"
My concern with my cards was that 4 cards were 83x136mm on clean thick white paper whereas the other 4 were 83x137mm on thinner, creamier paper with a different shade of red leading to me wondering whether 4 of them were a reprint. Under UV light however 5 cards flouresce and 3 do not indicating different paper having been used with the printings, causing me further questions.
Would you want scans to set up a record for the 2nd series ?

Hi Glyn,
DeleteThank you for your comment. I've got two posts on the Famous Teams in Football History collections, this one and the one for the cards issued with New Hotspur:
D.C. Thomson / The New Hotspur - THO-235 Famous Teams in Football History ~ 2nd Series
https://cartophilic-info-exch.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/dc-thomson-new-hotspur-tho-235-famous.html
The reference to THO-204 in the title of this checklist relates to the numbering system used in the earlier series of Trade Card books issued by the Cartophilic Society, as is ZB9-19. The first number (THO-230) is the reference in the new Trade Card books published in 2006.
I think it unlikely that the 2nd series has been reprinted. I state that they were issued in sheets but I think it's likely that the first four were separate and included in the wallet shown in that post.
I hope all this helps.
With kind regards,
Alan
