Godfrey Phillips 'Pinnace' Footballers Noah Burton

Godfrey Phillips 'Pinnace' Footballers card #24 N. Burton, published in 1923.
The Pinnace series is massive collection of 2,462 different cards (including some rugby players) - and that doesn't take account duplicate cards of players appearing for different clubs or minor variations of the same card. If that isn't enough there are three different sizes too. The smallest are common enough, but the medium and postcard sized versions take some finding. The 'Pinnace' set was so large it took from 1920 to 1924 to publish.
There are at least two versions of the standard sized Burton card, the other when he was still a Derby County player prior to joining Forest.
