VG condition. There are probably only 2 or 3 of these in the world. If this was an equivalent baseball card, 1 of only 2 or 3 known, it could fetch about £5,000. Soccer cards WILL get there... after all we have a bigger fan base. It's all about education ... slowly it's been happening. Ever more so prices are rising to their just levels and, even at £250 this is under-valued. It's value is only GOING UP ... next year this card will be priced at 300... and ever-up!

130 years old, this GORTON FC Sharpe's Play Up footy card, featuring the meeting place of the rivers Irk and Irwell where the historical Manchester castle once stood is beyond merely 'rare'. Any "SHARPE'S PLAY UP" football card is rare and valuable but as this particular card is one of the oldest recorded Manchester City relics it's doubly valuable and no doubt ripe for the plucking by one of the lovable inflatable banana Blue Mooners (where is Frank Newton?) Condition is generally VG+ (some slight handling wear). CLICK PICTURE to see a BIGGER VERSION and for how to buy it.
Ow's Zat!? It's W.G. Grace, the world's most famous historical cricketer, on an 1890s Baines cricket card! In my time I have bought and sold and owned well over 1000 Victorian Baines, Sharpe's, Toole, Pears, Brigg, et al shaped footy, rugger and cricket cards; and I have seen rare and rarer still, and exceedingly rare, yet this one is in a league of its own!
It may well be the rarest Baines cricket card that I have owned. It's time to share it and sell it. The right buyer will know that this is a steal at £500.00 o.n.o.

Thanks to Mr. Evan Jones, for this information: "[your] card is Bradford Northern and the player is J T Toohill who won 11 England UNION caps. The parting of the northern teams from Union did not take place till 1895 and no League internationals took place till 1904 and the first true international against overseas teams did not take place until1908 1st January when Wales played the New Zealand tourists at Aberdare, England played them on the 11th at Wigan. I have Toohill on another two Baines card captioned Play up Bradford."
Evan's main collecting interests are Welsh sports men and women. We really appreciate his help with the identification of this rare and beautiful card. As a cartophilic aside, of some interest, Evan remembers Martin Murray from way before his shop and auction days, when he was dealing in cards from his garage! That's quite a thought. I bet the cards were worth more than the garage. Thanks again to Evan Jones.
