Kicking the habit
Sportsworld magazine
1 cut-out

A little while ago I displayed a page from an issue of Sportsworld magazine showing 15 cut-out cigarette cards of players taking part in the 1974 World Cup tournament. This page comes from the same issue, though I've re-designed it so that it fits on my blog and is legible, as the author Ian Davies talks about old football cigarette cards. Thanks to Martin Bennett for providing the page for scanning.

12? postcards

A collection of 12 postcards, though it's unlikely to be a complete set. I have no idea if it's relevant but the backs of most of the postcards are similar to the first example (publishers details in two lines), though the three identified with ** are similar to second example (publishers details in one lines).

I don't have an incentive to compile a checklist for this collection. They are all cartoon and some feature the cartoon character of Ronaldinho. I've added a few scans of the pages.
