Pals - PAL-260 / PAL-2 Football Series (03)


1922
PAL-260 / PAL-2 Football Series
Pals
12 cards

Roger Pashby has just completed this small set of team photos and was surprised to find that the last two cards (Burnley and West Bromwich Albion) look as if they come from another series. Parts of the backs of the cards are printed in a completely different typeface to the other ten cards in the set. Roger has sent scans of the two cards and I've included scans of two cards from my own collection.
The illustrated checklist can be found here Pals - PAL-260 / PAL-2 Football Series.

  1. Hi Alan, just an observation; the last card in this set has the back printed the other way up to the others. It's also printed on different card, similar to the last two cards in the sister set issued by Boys Magazine at around the same time. The last two cards in that set also had their text the other way up and didn't advertise the following week's card. It could be that these gifts were supplied to both magazines by the same manufacturer?

    1. Hi Pat,

      That's interesting, must admit I never noticed that. I think you could be right.
