96 cards
Rare cards, that have appeared in Cartophilic Society reference books in a couple of guises, as listed above. Very rare cards, the players are listed here by surname. They are usually found with plain backs, but some, perhaps all, can be found imprinted on the back with a Poppleton rubber stamp.
When I originally compiled information about this collection I wasn't too bothered about recording the team caption as it appeared on the card. Speed was of the essence, WHU and QPR were quicker to write. I've amended team names so that they are shown in full. Only those marked *** are confirmed as being as they appear on the cards.
UPDATE (23-06-2015): Bob Thomas has been in touch to let me know the captions on the cards for some of these cards. All those from Bob's notes are identified with ^.
UPDATE (24-06-2015): Updated from 1920s to 1923. See the comment from Lee West below.
UPDATE (25-06-2015): Mark Hughesdon has been in touch with the correct caption for the G. Lennon card.
UPDATE (09-07-2015): Paul Briers has sent in some scans allowing me to update a few more cards. Paul's amendments are identified by ***~. I've also been able to confirm and amend a few others - just looking for confirmation on the following 5 cards - F.F. Cownley (Arsenal), A.E. Langford (Merthyr Town), F. Moss (Aston Villa), A. Roe (Arsenal), J. Whibley (Crystal Palace).
UPDATE (03-05-2016): Michael Parsons has sent in a scan of A. Roe that confirms the team name as Arsenal F.C. The list has been amended accordingly.
UPDATE (30-10-2016 12:02): Two more players have been updated - Moss (Aston Villa) and Langford (Merthyr Town), that leaves just two more to check - Cownley (Arsenal) and Whibley (Crystal Palace).
UPDATE (03-03-2020 22:43): Date amended again from 1923 to 1922, after reviewing all the comments.
