"The Hotspur" Hobby Book - Star Stamps
D.C. Thomson / The Hotspur
1 booklet
The Hotspur Hobby Books were issued as part of the comic, rathe than a free gift and needed to be removed and then cut into three separate booklets. There's only a tenuous link to football this time though as the back cover of the Star Stamps booklet is a "Star Stamps' Sports Parade" illustration featuring various sports stamps including a football one. The stamp illustrated is part of a series issued to commemorate the 1931 Balkan Cup tournament that involved Bulgaria, Turkey and Yugoslavia. Bulgaria were champions, beating both the other teams to top the table.
