M.M. Frame - (FRA-080/FOZQ-2) Sport Stars


1940s 
(FRA-080/FOZQ-2) Sport Stars
M.M. Frame
48 cards

Harry Richards and Robert Muat have provided some images of the booklets. This was one of the first checklists I posted on my blog. I originally intended to use this as a means of trying to complete checklists of football cards that I had been trying to compile over many years of collecting football cards.
The cards were issued as little booklets of 5 cards with a wrap-around cover that was numbered like the cards inside.
I've listed the covers separately, as well as including them in the proper checklist. 
I suspect that not all the cards were issued. I'd be grateful for any help with the missing details....
UPDATE (03-02-2024 21:53):  Paul Adamson has added some information about the booklets, including providing the alphabetic reference for some of them.
