John Levitt says: Hi John, I am sending you some more
caricature speedway cards that do not have an artist signature and
have a plain back. Like the Mickey Durling Cards [Set 23] the issuer
is not known and they appeared around the same time as his cards.
John Skinner says: Whilst I was
putting these blue and white cards on the website I decided that the
artist must be Mickey Durling and when I put the very last blue and
white card (Bob Mark) on this page it has been signed by Mickey
Durling and further proof came when I compared the Bob Mark card in
the Speedway Stars Mickey Durling card-set 23. It was almost
identical. I have put the 2 cards side by side at the bottom
of this page for comparison purposes.
David Pipes says: This set is supposedly made up of 110 cards
but they are a bit of an odd assortment by different artists.
I am supplying the cards I think are missing from what John
Levitt sent you, Regards, David
These cards are proof that
Mickey Durling was responsible for both sets of cards. Card
Set 23 and Card Set 24
3 additional blue and white
cards from John Levitt as follows: -
John Skinner says: How will we
ever know that collectors like John Levitt or David Pipes has a full
set of these cards. If only each card had been numbered by the
issuer.
John Levitt says: Further to Card Set 24
Speedway Caricatures on your Defunct Speedway Tracks website, I
realised that although David Pipes stated that there should be 110
cards only 107 different images were shown as regards un-numbered
cards. I recently acquired the complete set of 110 cards. Your
missing three are Buddy Fuller, Bill Gilbert and Jimmy Grant. I have
enclosed images of these three cards
John Skinner says: My thanks to
John Levitt for supplying the last 3 cards in this set
