Cardiff City v Arsenal F.A. Cup Final 1927

The Rover comic cover Issue No. 1367,  8 September 1951. A series of cut-outs or was it just the cover for this issue? It would seem strange just to have one issue for a series of cut-outs, especially when they are unnumbered, to me it seems it was just a feature for the cover of this issue and not intended to be cut-out, unless other similar covers exist. But it does feature Cardiff City and that is all that matters.

John Baines - Football Cards

JOHN BAINES

FOOTBALL SHIELDS

1908-1920's

Cardiff City

John Baines was one of the earliest printers of soccer cards, starting his business in the 1880s.

Baines originated the packet of football cards, patenting it in the early 1890s. I don't know the exact dates of these cards , the date above is just a guess.

Cardiff City

A previously unrecorded supplement from the Daily Mail. As with all the supplements from 1935-36 that I have seen, this has been stuck onto card with the Carlisle United team on the back, both teams have been cut-down to fit by a former scissor happy owner.

Value? I have no idea on this as it's a previously unrecorded item.

Originally issued in small paper envelopes which are very rare, these were given away two per issue beginning with the very first issue of August 1922 and ending with issue 47 in January of the following year. From issue 28 cards were issued as ‘pair’ cards but these subsequently turn up cut into ‘singles’; complete pairs are not rare, but are distinctly harder to find. 

The cards were issued on these dates. * H.P. Evans was also issued in Scotland and that issue is much rarer than the English one.

W. Grimshaw – Issue 8,  22 April, 1922 - English

J. Blair – Issue 15, 10 June, 1922 - English

*H.P. Evans – issue 24, 12 August, 1922 - English and Scottish

J. Page – issue 34, 21 October, 1922 - English 

Expect to pay up to £1.50 for English issues and £10 for Scottish. Uncut pairs a little more.
