Pal Blades Autograph League
Pal Blades
Unknown number issued
Pal Blades was a razor blade producer. These small postcards contain real autographs usually written in biro. I don't know if they were issued with the autographs already in place, or if they were issued blank and it was left to the autograph hunters to track down players to get them signed. Albums were issued.

Another item I know very little about, other than it exists. The album apparently holds 44 photos of Lincoln City players. Can anyone provide further details????

Football Caricatures
Dorhams Press, Southampton

Postcard size, might even be postcards. I presume they featured Southampton players as the firm was based in that town and the only card I know of features a Southampton player.

Five-a-Side Footer cut-outs
D.C. Thomson / Adventure
(4 December 1926)
10 cut-outs
This game was printed in the middle pages of the bumper Christmas issue of Adventure. The editor advised that the pages should be pasted to card before cutting out all the relevant pieces, which included the faces of 10 footballers. I've never seen any of these cut-out 'discs'. so I am including as advert for the game from the previous weeks issue of Adventure.
