Catalogue note
Joshua Harris appears on a Gallaher card from Leeds United’s early Football League years. The exact issue date still needs firmer bibliographic proof, but the object is valuable precisely because it reaches back into a period of the club that survives far less visibly in modern collecting culture.
Archive significance: Early Leeds United Gallaher object from the club's first Football League decade
Historical context: Exact catalogue year remains provisional
Research caution: Exact issue year unresolved.
Why this object matters
The Harris cigarette card supplies an early layer of Leeds representation. Keep the outstanding assessment provisional until exact issue dating is established; age and an incompletely verified bibliography should not create a stronger rarity claim.
Evidence limits: Precise Gallaher issue dating remains unverified.
