Personal collection = +3!

I am indebted to fellow collector Adrian Cummings who has kindly sent me three of the cards that I was missing, namely numbers 1028, 1752 and 2194. Thank you again, Adrian. 🙂

So that’s now just another 614 to go then…

Card 2411 mystery solved!

My grateful thanks go to long-time Lincoln City fan and collector Mark Duckering who has proved that F. Lowson was indeed on City’s books and that the card is not an error by the producers of this set. Click the image at left to read his story and see some original 1922 documentation.

Further to my previous post about selling a single blue leaf, I also have an original Pinnace album for sale on eBay. Condition isn’t brilliant but it is a hundred years old now and is quite rare. Again finishing on Sunday 27th March, you can bid on it by following THIS LINK.

Version 2.1 is now up and running with a few additions since the last one. My thanks go to Brian Houghton for adding one this week.

A new book about The Pinnace Collection

I am pleased to announce the publication of a new book about this fascinating collection of cards. Entitled “Men that played Football For Fun: THE PINNACE CARD COLLECTION: A Collectors Check List”, it’s a private publication by Michael Postles and you can read a review of it by clicking on the cover image here.

And another one ticked off…

My thanks go to Shane Given who has supplied me with yet another of the cards that I needed, this time 320. J. Thomas of Wigan, N.U. Just another 617 to go now.

Little by little… 🙂

Another Aberdeen player added to page

I am indebted to Mike who has got in touch to inform me that I had omitted 1365. Jacky Connon from the Aberdeen section of this website. This is a common failing of mine with the player cards which have no team name listed – I don’t always check them all and if there is no little tape stuck to the back it’s not always evident which team the player belonged to. Looking at the kit though I guess that I should have known this one! 😉

Three more added to my collection

My grateful thanks go to Kate Turner who has kindly supplied me with three of my missing cards, and at a very sensible price too. I have now ticked off numbers 368, 472 and 941 from my ‘WANTED’ list.

29 cards added to my personal collection

It’s been a very long time since I was last able to add something of note to this site, and even now it’s really only of a personal nature. I am greatly indebted to Stu Fairbridge who has supplied me with twenty-nine cards that I was missing, and at a very reasonable price too. This batch includes the rugby player – W. Scott of Barrow R.F.L. – at card 1299 rather than the error card of Dundee’s D. Thomson. The bonus for you, my devoted acolytes, is that these cards have resulted in many new and improved images on the site. 👍

Still 600+ to go mind… 😥
