The four main comics published by D.C. Thomson gave away similar cards over an eight week period. These cards are usually found cut, so you'll normally find the Famous Towns & Their Crests without the Famous Ship attached. They are much harder to find uncut.

The other Welsh clubs featured in this series are:

Stockport, Inverness, Bangor, Wrexham  &  Lusitania  

Adventure, Issue No. 502, 13 June 1931

Sheffield, Swansea, Cowdenbeath, Bolton  &  The Resolution

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.

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.
