These cards are usually referred to as being issued in 1954 and I've gone with that date here.
Jesse Pye left Wolverhampton Wanderers for Luton Town prior to the start of the 1952-53; Raich Carter left Hull City at the start of the 1951-52 season and was at Cork Athletic around 1953, prior to moving to Leeds United as Manager; Tommy Lawton mover from Notts County to Brentford in the latter half of the 1951-52 season.
Charlie Mitten was a Manchester United player in the summer of 1950 when he moved to Independiente Santa Fe in Bogotá, Colombia. He then joined Fulham in December 1951, where he stayed until February 1956.
I think it's fair to say that the Daily Herald version was issued around early 1951.
I've included the Sportfoto versions, which make a total of three different sets and all three come with at least two different printings.
I've added the team names as they appear on the cards, though there are a few with a '?' against them in the Daily Hearld/Sportfoto list. The Sportfoto version is the rarest so I have only identified a small number of the team names on these cards.
I'll be glad to hear from anyone who may have some thoughts or more information relating to these cards.
UPDATE: The Sportfoto version may have been issued sometime in the 1953-54 season. Graham Bruton has sent in a scan of the Johnny Carey card that has him listed as 'Manager Blackburn Rov.' a role he accepted in August 1953, a couple of months after retiring from the game.
UPDATE: Roger Pashby has sent in scans of four Vic Metcalfe cards from his collection. The one on the right illustrates the second version of the Daily Herald cards - name and number in normal style, not bold. I hadn't shown this one in the images I posted yesterday.
UPDATE (14-02-2018 20:32): I have tried to simplified the information in this checklist. There are now two main lists, the first one covers the Daily Herald Copyright, Daily Herald Copyright / SPORTFOTO and SPORTFOTO cards as they all have the same checklist, though there are plenty of differences between some of the cards. The second checklist is for the Sportfoto cards where there are quite a number of different players included compared to the other set.
