50 cards (2 football)

Two cards from this series show football matches in progress and both cards are available in both sizes. The Oxford card depicts an Inter-Varsity match at Crystal Palace, while the Corinthians card also shows a fixture at Crystal Palace, their annual match with Glasgow amateurs Queens Park.
UPDATE (10-06-2016 11:34):  Additional photos added, including the two variation backs of card number 39.

UPDATE (03-04-2025 11:14):  The venue for the Oxford and Cambridge match is actually Chelsea's Stamford Bridge, not Crystal Palace. See the comment below.
