Chums

First published in 1892 by Cassell & Co, Ludgate Hill, London, “Chums” ran weekly until 1927 when it became a part of Amalgamated Press. Amalgamated Press continued to publish the paper until 1941, by which time it had become an annual only publication. Further information on the magazine can be found at the most excellent “Comic Book+” site by following this link.

During the 1920’s it published several sets of collectors “cards”, all centred around either football or cricket.

Known sets are listed below.

This set consisted of 23 cards (perhaps associated with the year of publication), featuring either cricketers or cricket teams.
