Quite a few were football subjects but he covered all sorts of themes, from collectibles to politicians. I've no idea if they were all numbered sequentially or whether alike series had their own numbering sequence. Wouldn't it be great if someone had an original pricelist for these postcards? </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">are the cards I know of, including non-football postcards?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1.  ?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2.  ?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3.  ?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4.  National Postcard Week 1988 - Balloons - <span style="font-size: xx-small;">Design by Richard Blake</span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5.  5th Anniversary of PPM column 'Magic in Moderns', 1988 - <span style="font-size: xx-small;">Design by Richard Blake</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">6.  Barn Owl <span style="font-size: xx-small;">by Geoff Rollinson</span> - To commemorate 100th Anniversary of RSPB</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">7.  Marsh Harriers <span style="font-size: xx-small;">by George Busby</span> - To commemorate 100th Anniversary of RSPB</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">8.  York Bipex April 1989 - York Castle and Locomotives - <span style="font-size: xx-small;">Design by Richard Blake</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">9.  Magic in Moderns at London Bipex, Kensington Town Hall - <span style="font-size: xx-small;">Design by Richard Blake</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">10.  ?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">11.  First Modern Postcard Fair 31.3.90 & National Postcard Week - <span style="font-size: xx-small;">Design by Jack Follows</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">12</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">.  ?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">13</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">.  ?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">14.  First Modern Postcard Fair 31.3.90 & National Postcard Week - <span style="font-size: xx-small;">Pirate card by George Busby</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">15.  National Postcard Week 1990 - The Duke's Chariot - <span style="font-size: xx-small;">fantasy card by Rodney Mathews</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">16.  Issued to Commemorate first British Modern Postcard Fair 1990 - <span style="font-size: xx-small;">Fair scene</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">17</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">.  ?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">18</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">.  ?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">19</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">.  ?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">20.  The Second Modern Postcard Fair, Nottingham 1991 - <span style="font-size: xx-small;">Hawaian Scene by Ann Rusnak</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">21</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">.  ?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">22.  Margaret Thatcher has her final say as P.M. - I'm Leaving - <span style="font-size: xx-small;">Design Julie Naylor</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">23.  The Second Modern Postcard Fair, Nottingham 1991 - <span style="font-size: xx-small;">Pirate card (Clown) by Keith Kay</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">24.  The Second Modern Postcard Fair, Nottingham 1991 - <span style="font-size: xx-small;">Pirate card by J.P.
