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.
