D.C. Thomson / The Rover - Histories of Britain's Football Clubs (1953) (02)

1953-54
Histories of Britain's Football Clubs
D.C. Thomson / The Rover
Unknown number

A couple of years ago I published a partial list of this collection. JF Sporting Collectibles new June auction catalogue has 37 of these listed, with more to follow in the August auction.
Some numbers appear twice, and I first thought that the numbering system was just a little haphazard, but that is not the case. It may indicate a mixture of two different series or the possibility that the series also ran in one of The Rover's sister publications, or that some weeks different teams were available in the Scottish and English versions of the comic. The West Ham one is unnumbered and until it is dated, appears at the bottom of the list
