It's not every day you a REAL one of these! You are more
likely to see aliens in human clothing reading TV news (propaganda).
Well, okay, so we do actually see those heartless beings every day.
Bad allusion. Let's say you are more likely to see a weather girl
take her clothes off on live TV, on your own TV set, before you see
another one of these rare cards again. This is a genuine, card-based
issue, not a paper copy (they have been doing the rounds on ebay).
As with all of the originals these are cards, originals, from nigh
on 70 years ago. They are not newly copied paper prints. ORIGINALS
guaranteed 1949 card of STANLEY
MATTHEWS of Blackpool and formerly Stoke City, GOOD but with a light
crease. Card was cut-out as intended, as issued, from a printed card
sheet of nearly 20 sportsmen. SOLD

Near MINT Stanley Matthews BLACKPOOL proof from this Anglo
American gum "Bell-boy" issue from 1958. This is UNFOLDED and UNCREASED - which is unknown in the history of this 1958 issue, as
all of these wax paper inserts were folded and wrapped around gum,
so this, being un-folded, and without creases (apart from
between wrapper and picture, with staple holes as issued).
EXTREMELY RARE in this unfolded, not creased, excellent plus/near
MINT form!

Brownish |
LITHO type, mid-tone grey card, dark background print, brownish tint

MUCH RARER than supposed ... as rare as the 1930s issues AND RARER
STILL as these cards have 3 - THREE - varieties. Post war paper
supplies, being what they were, were hit and miss; so too was the
printing, which is why these appear in at least THREE varieties, on
white paper, or on buff-toned grey paper, and with so many types of
off-set and litho print styles, dark and light backgrounds, etc.
Surely one of the most difficult series to find all varieties of and
impossible to complete a full set! BLACKPOOL Harry Johnston DARK
background early type/ mid-grey cardstock type & "BROWNISH TINT"

1930's German rarity, Blackpool legend, and Irish
national team (Northern Ireland) star Peter Doherty, by Union
Cigarettes. If you see this card these days it'll most likely be
stuck-down into an album. Very few in any state survived the
destruction and carpet bombing inferno inflicted upon Germany as
World War Two closed. This is in VERY GOOD condition. There is a
slight scratch over his left eye but the card stands justifiably as
VERY GOOD.. You won't ever find better! VERY RARE. ?75.
