Hi Leon

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I've seen one other card, showing a rugby player.

Some people seem to say that the footballers that are holding the footballs are playing the American version of football, but as the 'scraps' were printed in Germany for Rapahel Tuck, who was based in London, I think it only fair to say that these are actually rugby players.

I'm still hopeful of getting permission to include the rugby player on my blog. If I do I'll include a link here.

I've also got a scan of an uncut sheet of Jockeys, but without seeing at least one Consolidated Cigarette card it's not possible to confirm whether this is the actual sheet they they used to create the Jockey cards.

Likewise, I've also got a sheet of Soldiers of England, though Tuck produced many different ones, as they must have been a favourite subject for many small boys, but again, it's impossible to do any further research without seeing at least one of the cards.
