Football cards and stickers issued around the world, from the 1880's to the present day and even some that haven't been issued yet. I don't have any cards for sale, nor do I provide valuations, this blog is just a means of passing on information I have gathered over many decades of collecting. Alan Jenkins.

'The Mythicals' Prominent Footballers
Futera / Taddy & Co.
I've been fortunate enough to be given scans of two more cards in this exciting release. The illustrations shown here are unsigned, but, except for the Eusebio card, who sadly passed away earlier this year, all the cards will be autographed by the respective players. Un up-to-date checklist will be provided as soon as possible.

Futera / Taddy & Co. - 'The Mythicals' Prominent Footballer Cards
2014
'The Mythicals' Prominent Footballer Cards
Futera / Taddy & Co.
This information originally appeared on the Football Card Forum and I've been given permission to reproduce it here. It has got me so excited that I had to reproduce it here. I can't wait for it's release
Futera's 24ct gold plated and diamonds studded framed 'The Mythicals' Autographed Cards (limited to a maximum of 10 of each card design) creates a new dimension and a 'world 1st' for original football cards from 100 years ago, where cards of great stars from a bygone era can be enjoyed in an interactive environment. The cards' unique codes are useable in Futera's World Football online management game 'FWF Online' appealing to both a card collector and 'new-media' audience.
Futera's 2014 programme includes reviving memories and encouraging an appreciation of the collecting era from the early 1900s, commencing with arguably the most prized brand of historic cards 'Taddy & Co.' - a brand which produced its last football card series 'Prominent Footballers' in 1913/14.
To celebrate this centenary, Futera are pleased to bring out its 2014 'The Mythicals' Collections featuring original, historic cards from that time, with cards releasing from Futera's archives which holds one of the world's largest private collections of original Taddy & Co. cards, together with a new release of 'Prominent Footballers' Autographed Cards.
Following on from the original Taddy & Co. 1912 Autograph Card Release of famous people (Series 1), Futera's 'Series 2' features on-card Autographs from footballers who have contributed to the 'beautiful game' from over the past 50 years, with Series 3 on-card Autographed Cards featuring world stars from more recent years.
Futera has taken original artwork and worked with the fine detail, colours and size of the original cards from 'Taddy & Co.' Collections. The card mounts have been individually numbered and given a unique security code, then framed in a 24ct gold plated surround with a diamonds feature to bring the total composition to a standard trading card size.
Through unique coding, apart from being rare collectibles, these cards may be used in the Futera World Football online management game (FWF Online), perpetuating the Taddy & Co. brand into the future and showcasing a history in card collecting to a global and next-generation audience.
Among those featuring in Futera's 'The Mythicals' Checklist of Prominent Footballers is legend Eusebio. Sadly, due to his passing some weeks ago, the Eusebia Mythicals cards will not now be signed, but to commemorate his professional career as one of the greatest footballers of all time, Futera has decided to keep his Mythicals cards for issue. 6 of these rare cards, unsigned, will release from this month with the remaining 4 held in archive.
'The Mythicals' Prominent Footballer Collections will be available through the Futera UNIQUE 2014 Collection, with some cards releasing before then as an Insert Redemption Card with the FWF Online Series 4 Virtual Collection. Futera will also release some of its original Taddy cards from 100 years ago within a future Mythicals Set - limited to a maximum of 5 of each footballer - with the first cards going out as Token redemptions and playable in FWF Online.

Taddy & Co. - Prominent Footballers (1913) (3)
1913
Prominent Footballers
Taddy & Co.
408 known cards
Matt Stevens has been in touch with some additional information about these cards...
The number of cards known at the moment is 408. On the basis that all 29 teams contain 15 cards then we are still 27 short. The problem I have is that Arsenal has only 10 cards known, which are all easy to get hold of, so where are the other 5. With teams like Southampton, Brighton and Preston you can understand why we are still looking for 15, but Arsenal at 10 and Spurs at 14, which are two of the most common, seems strange.
I am only missing a dozen cards myself but 3 of them are Muir, Mack and Hadley so I don't have their initials. You already have Lee (Southampton) listed and his initial is A. Also Stevenson of Southampton should be Steventon.
I've scanned all the cards mentioned above and will let you know if anymore appear.

Taddy & Co. - Prominent Footballers (1913) (2)
1913
Prominent Footballers
Taddy & Co.
400 cards ?
Peter's thought on the last Taddy collection:
The third and final set (1913) is easy to distinguish thanks to a different layout and lettering, but it's harder to find. From 393 cards I have scans or photos of just 168. I've found five cards not on your list, so it could be more. Billy Meredith (Manchester United), G. Arnold, Billy James, Arthur Knight and Joe Turner (all Portsmouth). You can find the scans attached to this email.

Taddy & Co. - Prominent Footballers (1908) (2)
1908Prominent Footballers
Taddy & Co.
390 cards
Peter has sent further information on the second Taddy set:
The second (1908) is difficult to count mainly because you have to see both sides of the card. Some cards are identical on their front with the same layout. You just can't believe it if you don't see it. Taking your and mine list together it seems the second series consists of 390 cards. I think the Iremonger (Norwich City) card is a mistake but definitively there is a Robert Muir card in the Norwich City set. I've found a Jimmy Iremonger card (in a cricket kit) among County Cricketers series with Nottinghamshire. I've also found an Enoch West (of Forest) card in a 1908 series. There is also a Harry Stringfellow card in the Preston North End set. There is also probably, a footnote version of Billy Yenson (Queens Park Rangers) and Billy Wilkinson of Sheffield United as well as Frank Jefferis of Southampton and Billy Tout of Swindon Town. Altogether that makes 390.

Taddy & Co. - Prominent Footballers (1907) (2)
1907
Prominent Footballers
Taddy & Co.
595 cards (475 football, including 15 F.A. officials)
I have heard from Peter, a collector and football historian who has an interest in Taddy's Prominent Footballers cards.
Your list is a bit different to mine, so I would like to confront our sets. I like to treat FA officials and rugby players as subsets, so on my list there is 460 players names. 31 clubs x 15 players = 465 cards. For some reasons New Brompton and Wolves sets have 13 cards and Nottingham Forest 14. It makes 460.
I have added Peter's comments to each of the club subsets. There are a few players added that are missing from the original list. You can find the original list here: Taddy & Co. - Prominent Footballers (1907)

There is some mystery with this set. I found two different portraits of Wattie White. There is no Bolton Wanderers set in 1908 (with footnote), so it has to be another version of 1907 set. (Update: the second illustration is false - there is only one Wattie White card). I have not seen the John Boyd card.
