50 cards ? (19 known)
I had an e-mail from Roger Pashby alerting me to that fact that he'd seen these cards at a Card Fair. It turns out that cigarette card dealer John Shaw has discovered a third set of football cards issued by Teasdale & Co. that have gone unrecorded since being issued in the early 1930's (or late 1920's). These cards are similar to the Gallaher's Cigarettes 'Footballers in Action' blue backed cards that were issued in 1928. They have plain backs and don't have 'Gallaher's Cigarettes' printed on the front. A few examples are shown here.
John has recently been featured on the Cartophilic Society of Great Britain website - John Shaw Launches New Cigarette Card Website and here's a link to the aforementioned website - http://www.cigarettecards.org

UPDATE (04-04-2020 15:09): Roger Pashby has provided a scan of a new addition to his Huddersfield Town collection, the card listed at number 22 in the checklist. Two more cards (nos. 16 and 17) have also been moved into the List of known cards., having recently been available in Garry Daynes' eBay auctions. The three cards can be seen above, the 5th, 6th and 7th illustrations.

These cards look similar to the Gallaher issues of the 1920s, and Teasdale produced a 25 card set of similar looking cards that were possibly proof copies of a Gallaher set. These too are plain backed with black and white ilustrations and may have been proof copies of a set of Gallaher cards that was never actually issued.
