I believe there were two different sets, one issued overseas in 1927, which contained 50 cards, and then a similar set issued in the UK in 1932 with 54 cards. <br /><br />The pictures sometimes match but the text on the back is often different, as is the numbering. The backs are printed the opposite way up on the two sets, which helps tell them apart. The Wills logo at the bottom is also diffe3rent, as your picture shows.<br /><br />As for the FA Cup Finals shown, Card 41 in the 1932 set mentions the 1931 Final between West Brom and Birmingham, and Card 20 in the 1927 set looks to be Jack scoring Bolton's winner against Man City in the 1926 Final.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17530333590587749179noreply@blogger.com
