50 cards

Although only 50 teams make up this collection the clear plastic cards were originally issued in pairs, but they are more often found as single cards, having been separated by the perforation down the centre of the two cards. I thought there were only three combinations for each card which would probably make 75 different pairings. At least one club appears 4 times, so perhaps the pairings are more random and some clubs may only appear once or twice. If you've got pairings not listed please send in details.
NB: Please note that the pairings are shown in alphabetical order and are listed not as they appear with the first club to the left and the second to the right. They are listed by whichever team is first alphabetically.

Bob Bond Sporting Caricatures - 25 Liverpool Greats / Gallery of Liverpool Greats

25 cards

These were available in a variety of sizes, but I was only interested in the A6 (Postcard) size. For some reason I don't have these numbered. The title on the front reads '25 Liverpool Greats' but the title on the back says 'Gallery of Liverpool Greats'. I wonder if anyone ever bought all the different sizes!!
