    The Card Collectors Society have re-issued at least 7 other sets you have listed.

    Association Footballers - Wills
    Club Badges - Odgens
    Football Caricatures - Ogdens
    Footballers, Caricatures by RIP - Players
    Sporting Celebrities - Churchman
    Sporting Trophies - Churchman
    Sports of All Nations - Wills

    They have also issued 4 other sets that have the potential to contain references to football (I have yet to check)

    ABC of Sport - Ogdens
    Footballers 1914 - Churchman
    Men of the Moment in Sport - Churchman
    Sports and Games in Many Lands - Edwards Ringer and Biggs

    There may be others, I would have to look through every set I have (about 259)

    regards

  2. Can not find any information on E. Oliver card #35. Could this be Joe Oliver, and the E. a misprint? Thanks.

    1. Hi,

      It could well be, though I am not an expert on Rugby League players. 'Joe' oliver does seem to be the only Oliver who played for Batley at that time.
