Boys' Magazine - BOY-510/BPM-7.4 Footballers & Miscellaneous (04) - Coloured


1923
BOY-510/BPM-7.4 Footballers & Miscellaneous
Boys' Magazine
16 sheets, 64 cards

The cards were originally issued in sheets of 4 and can usually be found cut down to individual cards. Ken Breakey has provided a scan of the Rollo card and I've tracked down a scan of the Williams card, both are in colour, though the cards are advertised as sepia images. With the advent of online applications that can colourize old photos it's possible these cards are modern reprints but the original seller on eBay found them amongst a batch of other cards from the same series and all the cards looked and felt similar. I don't know if they are original or not but I'll be looking out for coloured versions of Fred Keenor, Jimmy Blair and Jimmy Gill cards from this series. An illustrated checklist of all 16 sheets (64 cards) can be found here - Boys' Magazine - BOY-510/BPM-7.4 Footballers & Miscellaneous (03) - Illustrated Checklist.
