BAR-430/BAR-34Aa Football "Stars"
Barratt & Co.
100 cards
All the cards are available with two different backs. The cards are unnumbered, with 51 in the first section and 49 in the second and are numbered here for reference purposes only.
I'd like to acknowledge the Cartophilic Society of Great Britain as the source of this information. The Society has been around for over 75 years and is a tremendous resource for collectors of cigarette cards and trade cards. Click on the link to find out more.
UPDATE (19-04-2015): I've always wondered why one list has 51 cards and the other 49 cards. It's quite possible that Roger Pashby has found the answer. He has been in touch to let me know that his card of Hudderfield Town's Sam Wadsworth has a "Barratt & Co's Sweets are Pure" back, which takes him out of the first list and places him firmly in the second one. I've included Roger's scans.

ReplyDeleteHi Alan
ReplyDeleteW. Gillespie should read Sheffield United.
best
Paul
Cheers Paul.
DeleteHi Alan
ReplyDeleteAnother correction. 27 J. Johnson (Sheffield Utd.) should read H. Johnson.
cheers
Paul
Hi Alan
ReplyDeleteSorry, I need to make a correction to my message above. I have just obtained this card and it is indeed printed as "J. Johnson" but this is a printing error, no one called J. Johnson has ever played for United and the caricature is definitely Harry.
Sorry for the correction.
Paul
Hi Paul,
DeleteNo problem, don't worry. I'll amend it straight away.
Cheers,
Alan
Alan - have a set of these cards in MINT CONDITION!!! - Only thing is they appear to be re-prints as there's nothing on the reverse side and there's no indication that they are reprints although they most certainly are. Nothing on E Bay or in the LCC Catalogue re-print section - Maybe I can class them as "Rare Re-Prints" LOL Mike
ReplyDeleteHi Mike,
DeleteIf you've got a full set, it's likely to be the unofficial reprint, created by a collector back in the early 1990's (I think - it was a long time ago). Yours are probably on white card and most would have straight sides and square corners. I bought the few in my collection at the time they were created.
Hi Alan, there is a spelling error on the McMullen , Manchester City card, it should read McMullan. Regards Brian
ReplyDeleteThanks Brian, I haven't been able to track down an image of that card.
DeleteSorry about the delay I’ll send you one
DeleteNo problem, thank you.
