RARE John Baines Rugby, P. Thomas, New Zealand c1909 (Gc4627) Proof card
This one is a very rare proof card, rescued from a sheet before the back printing was added. 100% genuine article, scans of the actual sheet it comes can be sent upon request. I managed to secure a collection from the original printers archives of over 110 years ago. They were issued from c1883 until c1921. Baines started in Carlisle Road, Manningham, then North Parade, Bradford before moving to Oak Lane, Bradford. The subjects covered were mainly Rugby League, Rugby Union, Association Football, Cricket & Golf. This card is Chromo Lithographed in colour and is of superb printed quality for the era.
