Football cards and stickers issued around the world, from the 1880's to the present day and even some that haven't been issued yet. I don't have any cards for sale, nor do I provide valuations, this blog is just a means of passing on information I have gathered over many decades of collecting. Alan Jenkins.

La Nacion (Costa Rica) - Francia 98
1998
Francia 98
La Nacion
Costa Rica
72 stickers
I discovered these cards on eBay recently and wondered if anyone knew anything about them? I think they were issued by the newspaper La Nacion, and they seem to be perforated. So far I've found the following, but there are probably a lot more.
UPDATE (12-04-2017 12:06): Thanks to the comment by daser below, the cards were issued in sheets of nine over an eight weeks for a total of 72 stickers.
Jurgen Klinsmann (Germany)
Alexei Lalas (U.S.A.)
Claudio Reyna (U.S.A.)
Eric Wynalda (U.S.A.)
Carlos Valderama (Colombia) - thanks to Arnd from Germany
Hello!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if this page is still alive hehe.
I didn't expect to find this information in a foreign page. Those cards, in fact, were released in Costa Rica as a promotional merchandise to France 98 World Cup.
The set contains 72 cards, and they came included every sunday inside the newspaper with a 9-card shet (1 sheet per group).
Feel free to email me if you want to see the entire set.
