? cards (3 football)

2023 Leaf Metal Continuum is a legacy set that will be living and growing throughout 2023! This set will feature both rookies and legends and will include not only the biggest names in sports, but also the next stars of the game. Each card features Leaf's Metal technology and will be print to order. Each card will be available for 10 days only.

Football cards don't appear too often in this collection but there are two this week. As you'll notice, I don't take much interest in the non-football cards.

J. Baines - Football Cards (99) - W. Yardley, Leeds


1880s/1890s
Football Cards
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.
I don't have scans of the reverse of these cards.

Allen & Ginter (USA) - (N28) The World's Champions (03) - Cigar Box


1887
(N28) The World's Champions
Allen & Ginter
USA
50 cards (0 football)

This cigar box includes a large inner coloured label based on the two series of World's Champions. Baseball star Buck Ewing (N29), Hon. W.F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) (Rifle Shooter) (N28), Axel Paulsen (Skater) (N29), Jacob Schaefer (Billiard Player) (N28) are included but the more interesting is the four 1890's stars of the sporting world who do not appear in the N28 or N29 Allen & Ginter sets dating from approximately a decade earlier: boxer Bob Fitzsimmons, another boxer - Kid McCoy, jockey Tod Sloan, and cyclist Jimmy Michael.
If these four 1890's stars had appeared in the 1888-1889 Allen & Ginter sets, or Allen & Ginter had issued additional "Champions" sets in the mid-to-late 1890s, their cards no doubt would have looked very much as they appear on the box. This is a very unusual "updated" version, probably produced circa 1897, based on what is possible and the years of prominence of the four additional stars. Bob Fitzsimmons won the heavyweight title in 1897, making this year of issue all the more likely. The name of the lithographer - O. L. Schwencke - appears at the base of the label. The cigar manufacturer, "I. S. Koch" of Lehighton, Pennsylvania, is printed on the interior base of the box. The box measures 8¾" x 5" x 2½".

(A16) Album of Worlds Champions
Allen & Ginter
USA
1 album

The United Kingdom arm of Allen & Ginter was originally called J.F. Allen and was set up by John Morgan Richards and his brother-in-law Henry Kingsbury Terry around 1877. In November 1885 Henry K. Terry turned the enterprise into a limited company - Henry K. Terry & Co. Limited - to take over the benefit of a contract dated March 29, 1883, and made between Messrs. Allen and Ginter, of Richmond, Virginia, and Henry K. Terry. The company imported a wide range of cigarette brands from the United States as indicated in the contemporary newspaper adverts from 1881 (The Llangollen Advertiser) and 1890 (The Rhyl Journal). It is not known whether the packets included the various cards produced by Allen & Ginter, though there doesn't seem to be much evidence to prove the hypothesis. The packets did however include coupons similar to ones produced in America, which could be collected and exchanged for albums. I've included an example of one such coupon, though I don't have a scan of the reverse. The relevant albums are list below.
