English & Australian Cricketers
Midjy Photo Outfit
18 ? cards
Here's the checklist for the cricket cards. It was assumed that a set consisted of 16 cards, but Robert Muat recorded a John Edrich cards on eBay in 2013.
Wilf Wooller is of interest to for me personally. I used to have one of these in my collection as he was a Cardiff City footballer from time to time through the 1930s and 1940s, though he only played for the reserves, never for the first team.
UPDATE (21-12-2016 08:06): One card added to the list, thanks to Robert Muat.

25 ? cards
The Midjy Photo Outfit allowed boys to create their own football cards. Robert Muat has provided scans of the cover of the package and some of the cards that could be produced. I'll let Robert explain:
Make your own cards by using the supplied paper negative and five card-sized photographic papers, follow the instructions and hops you could ind someone who had ready-made "fix" otherwise, after an hour, you had a totally "black" card.
I remember buying the photo outfits in Edinburgh, and every one was a footballers, I think the cricketers were made for sale in England, I never saw any of them.
I'll publish the cricketers checklist later.
