When collecting football cards it's sometimes possible to add the actual magazines that the cards were given away with and can add an extra dimension to a collection, especially when the cards are illustrated on the cover. Each magazine also includes a write-up on that weeks footballers. Here are the covers of all 15 copies of The Nelson Lee Library that gave away pairs of small football cards and here's a link to the checklist: Nelson Lee Library - NEL-030 / NEL-2 Footballers (Pairs).
