The cards have been created from original water colour paintings. The artist has tried to represent the quality of the cards of that time, with flaws here and there. He has produced some cards that don't actually exist, but could have - there is a gap of George Best cards in the late 1960's and he has also included other iconic players of the era.

NNO.  P. Lorimer (Leeds United), B. Moore (West Ham United), G. Best (Manchester United)  -  Star Players  -  1969-70 A&BC Green back

J. Baines
20,000+ cards

J. Baines was not the first to sell football and cricket cards in the North of England in the late 1880's but he was the most prolific and the business survived into the 1920's. I've always been interested in the various issuers and the businesses that took advantage of craze of collecting football and cricket cards. I thought I would delve into my database and shows some of these interesting cards from a bygone age.
