Another card to add to this collection, though this one is listed as a variation at the moment - it's hand-coloured and has a green design printed around three sides of the border. A regular card is shown along side it.
UPDATE (13-10-2020 21:39):  Date of release amended from 1950 to 1947 as suggested by a comment below from George the Hibbie.

Terry Kramer has provided a lot of information about the coloured and b&w Sunday Mail Junior Sports Club cards. Here's a list of 18 additional b&w cards he has identified.

I attach a scan of a flyer to advertise one of the Sunday Mail Junior Sports Club Rally's. This one was held in Dundee. I suspect that these cards were handed out or could be purchaed at these meetings which likely took place all over Scotland at the time. Certainly the players are all clearly posing in 'action' for the camera with what looks like some sort of screen backdrop.
And a club wouldn't be a club without a club badge, and one is shown here.

Terry Kramer has provided a lot of information about the coloured and b&w Sunday Mail Junior Sports Club cards. He has sent in scans of two more cards and he thinks there are probably more out there waiting to be identified.
The cards were actually produced in 1946/47. I have cuttings from the Sunday Mail with dates of that time. The jerseys of some players on the cards when the pictures were taken also back this up. As another side note, the Club was likely formed or certainly headed by the famous journalist of the time "REX" R.E. Kingsley. In an era in Scotland before the Scottish Football Writers' Association started their own Player of the Year award, the 'Player of the Year' awarded in the Sunday Mail by "REX" was prestigious enough to be properly recognised.
These cards are quite large, measuring 8" x 5". The original list of 19 known cards can be found here - Sunday Mail Junior Sports Club - SUN-250-2 / SURR-1-1B Scottish Footballers (Colour).

22 large cards

I've covered the two sets of black and white postcards issued by the Sunday Mail around this period. I have the checklist for the coloured cards but I didn't have a photo to accompany the checklist. Luckily, Brian McEwan sent in this photo. The cards are quite large, measuring 8" x 5" (sorry, I never really got into the metric thing, even though I do use it from time to time). The cards are numbered for reference purposes only, making it easier to do a card count.
