J.C. Battock - Cricket & Football Cards 1920s

 
J.C. BATTOCK
CRICKET & FOOTBALL CARDS
WHITE BACKGROUNDS
1920s
A SET OF 109 CARDS

Cardiff City

These cards are really very rare. The cards appeared with different backs although it’s not clear whether or not they all appeared as variations, it could be that each only ever appeared with one type of back. This set featured a heavy, dark typeface with a full stop after the team name. There was also an album produced to keep these in, which is also incredibly rare. You can expect to pay anything up to around £135 per card, depending on the team and scarcity of the card.
