D.C. Thomson / Adventure / The Rover / The Skipper / The Wizard
32 cards

Bob Thomas has kindly sent in scans of many of these cards, not quite a complete illustrated checklist but because there are so many photographs I'll split them down to each of the four different comics they came free with. Finally, The Wizard, with six out of the eight shown. The missing cards are Nottingham / Luton / Methil / Camberwell (Mark Hughesdon has sent in a image of the full front and the football half of the back of the card) and Aldershot / Larne / Alloa / New Brighton.
UPDATE (27-12-2016 17:16):  Mark Hughesdon has provided a scan of the missing back of the Titanic card.
UPDATE (27-10-2019 13:31):  Mark Hughesdon has provided scans of the missing card so this illustrated checklist is now complete.

Now for The Rover, just one missing from this section - Greenwich / Dumbarton / West Hartlepool / Crewe, though the Stoke / Hamilton / York / Brentford card is incomplete, but thanks to Paul Briers and Steve Claiden for the images. Paul pointed me to his images of the card on his Brentford FC memorabilia blog, brentfordfcmemorabilia.
