Cope Bros. / Clips Cigarettes
1 leaflet

A 4 page leaflet was included in packet of Clips Cigarettes offering a Robert Crompton medal in return for 20 empty packets. I've seen the leaflet, but not the actual medal. There was also an offer to redeem 100 empty packets for one of 6 different Team Photos. As far as I know none of these have ever been seen.

UPDATE (03-08-2025 15:59):  Paul Briers has spotted a second version of the 
Bridgewater A.F.C. card. The first one features 14 figures, but there are 17 in the second version and the kit is different too. I have included a better scan of the first version. I have also included scans of the backs of the cards even though they are blank.
The first Bridgewater A.F.C. was founded in 1898 and disbanded in 1902. A second Bridgewater A.F.C. was formed in 1904 and folded during the 1913-14 season. I wonder where these two team photos fit in with the history of the club?

Topps - 2013-14 Topps Premier Gold (14) - Dual Memorabilia


2013-14
Topps Premier Gold
Topps
8 cards - Dual Relics set

It can probably be assumed that the Jack Wilshere (Arsenal)/Aaron Ramsey (Arsenal) Dual Relic card has not been issued. 
This card seems to have been replaced by a Tim Howard (Everton)/Brad Guzan (Aston Villa) Dual Relic card, as shown above.
I have added this card to the original checklist, which can be found here: Topps - 2013-14 Topps Premier Gold (5)

DR-BG.  Tim Howard (Everton) & Brad Guzan (Aston Villa)
