Here is the blue-backed checklist. The red-backed cards are numbered but the blue-backed cards are not. This checklist starts with the cards that can also be found in the red-backed version and I've included the card numbers, then the list continues with cards that are new to this collection, all cricketers except one. I have also added a list of the red-backed cards that don't appear in this collection. I have read that although there are 13 different back designs each card can only be found with one, but I haven't conducted any research relating to this matter. It is possible though, as the reprinted set features examples of all 13 different back designs, with Studio Cigarettes being the most common.

The red-backed checklist can be found here - F. & J. Smith - Champions of Sport (01) - Red Backs.
