Football Favourites Vol 2 No 1 - Footballers


1950-51

Footballers
Football Favourites Vol 2 No 1
17 photos

Being a 'one club' collector it's possible to go long periods without adding new items to my collection. From time to time, and now with the advent of eBay, becoming more prominent, is the sale of photos similar to the sort of 'cut out and collect' items that I've covered previously, that were popular in the years following World War Two. Each includes a biography to go along with the photo. They are pasted on to card and neatly cut out. I've always bought any Cardiff City ones I've come across, but never find out where they come from. I bought a magazine the other day that included a photo of Ron Stitfall and it's one I'd bought previously, as a 'card'. I thought I'd share this information along with a couple of scans of the pages in case others have something similar in their collections that currently reside in a section for unknown cards.

I don't own this item so I'm not sure if it's a double sided tri-fold poster, or two posters. At least one of them was given away with issue no. 1284 of The Victor.

Another collection that I know nothing about. I think they night be postcards. I'm hoping that by including them here we'll find out a little more.
