J. Baines - Football Cards (06) - Southampton F.C.


1890's
Football Cards
J. Baines
20,000+ cards

These four Baines-like football cards were scanned in a contemporary scrapbook featuring highlights from Southampton's early years. There's nothing on the frontto indicate who printed them an as they were stuff in a scrapbook, it's impossible to know what is on the reverse. The cards were stuck on pages that included cutting referring to the F.A. Cup second round game against Newcastle United that took place on 12 February, 1898. Southampton won 1-0 and went on to reach the semi-final, losing to Nottingham Forest after a replay.
I though I would include them here in case someone can provide more information.
