William Collins & Son - Famous Footballers ~ Herriot Series (2)


1901

Famous Footballers ~ Herriot Series
William Collins & Son
24 postcards

Dave Soper has been in touch regarding this collection of postcards. I had previously listed 21 of them...

I was doing some research about my collection of postcards, I came across your web site and noticed your article on the Herriott Series.
I believe there must have been 24 cards produced, I happen to have 23 of them. All in almost mint condition, I also have the original envelopes they came in. Its looks like there are 3 missing from your list of 21.
I am missing Jacky Robertson (Rangers). It would be great if I could find that and have the complete set!
From what little I know about these cards I believe they must be quite rare, I have only seen 1 online for sale before and that went for £65. I don't know how many there are in the hands of collectors, but I suspect there are not many complete sets around?
You have permission to publish them on the web site  if you wish.
Dave Soper
If anyone has a Jacky Robertson card available I'm sure Dave would be pleased to hear from you. Let me know and I'll put Dave in touch. 
You can see a reproduction of the Jacky Robertson postcard here - Murray Collection / Third Eye Centre, Glasgow - Scottish Football 1872-1914 (Postcards) (2)

In Memoriam - Huddersfield Town


c. 1920

Huddersfield Town
In Memoriam Postcard
1 postcard

Roger Pashby has sent in a scan of this postcard. It can also be seen in the Virtual Museum section of his website. He dates it around 1920 but the postcard is vague, not referencing any particular fixture.

In Memoriam Postcard - Bury v Derby County, 1923-24


1923-24

Bury v Derby County, 1923-24
In Memoriam Postcard
1 postcard

Baz Warburton has been in touch. Here's a scan of the only Shakers' one I have.  Very drab, all black I'm afraid so not great to scan, but might still be of interest. I reckon it could be from our 2-1 first round defeat to Derby in 1923/24.  Small comfort for the 6-0 win in the1902/03 final!

In Memoriam Postcard

In Memoriam cards were a regular feature of postcard issuers throughout the first quarter of the 20th century, usually celebrating the defeat of a famous football team in a cup-tie. I hope to show more of these from time to time, as illustrations become available.

Unknown publisher - Football Match (Postcards)


1900s
Football Match
Unknown publisher
6 postcards

I've posted this in response to a request for information on the Football Programme Forum. Not sure if there are only 6 postcards, but that was the normal number of postcards issued in most collections in the late Victorian/Edwardian era. No idea who the two teams are - anyone?
UPDATE (25-07-2022 00:007):  The two missing postcards have been added.
