You can find them here http://cartophilic-info-exch.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/amalgamated-press-champion-unknown.html and here http://cartophilic-info-exch.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/amalgamated-press-champion-unknown_28.html.
I now know that this 52 page album is also called Autographs (like the 1935 issue). This time the cover design is divided diagonally into four sections coloured yellow, green, red, and blue, and was given a way with issue no. 801 of The Champion, dated 5 June, 1937. This issue also included the first sheet of 10 autographs.
