John Allen issued these small cards through the Football Card Collector Magazine. I'm not sure where the photos came from, probably some contemporary booklet.

UPDATE:  The images come from the Stars of Today section of the Stanley Matthews Picture Album book.

Please excuse the poor picture. These five cards were shown in Football Card Collector Magazine No. 27. As far as I know they are the only cards known from this series. The cards are similar in size to the Pinnace cards that are so familiar these days. Until their inclusion in the magazine they were unknown and unrecorded.

UPDATE (30-11-2024 00:48):  Decent scans of the Andrew Young card added.

Rutherford (Arsenal)
J. Harrow (Chelsea)
J. Conner (C. Palace)
Andrew Young (Arsenal)
Buchanan Sharp (Chelsea)
