Cynicus Publishing Co. - Play Up ~ Football Clubs

Play Up ~ Football Clubs
Cynicus Publishing Co., Tayport, Fife
11? postcards

When I first seen these postcards I presumed that there were 6 postcards with this design, many Victoria/Edwardian postcards were produced in sets of 6. Then I found a blank version and a few more teams, so I presume this list isn't complete. There are some variations; some postcards have 'The Result of the Match' printed in the bottom left corner; The Play Up Sheffield United includes the phrase 'Seen at Bramall Lane' in the top left; some have an exclamation mark printed after the words 'Play up' and some don't; there are cards for 'Aston Villa' and 'Villa' and there are also differences in the typeface used. I have also added another postcard using the same design.
