Football cards and stickers issued around the world, from the 1880's to the present day and even some that haven't been issued yet. I don't have any cards for sale, nor do I provide valuations, this blog is just a means of passing on information I have gathered over many decades of collecting. Alan Jenkins.

By my reckoning these are almost certainly from 1948/49. Wally Ardron joined Forest from Rotherham for the start of the 1949/50 season, and George Wilkins played for Forest from December 1947 to May 1948.
