  1. Hi Alan,
    It is right : the set is made of 50 stickers. There are 13 teams represented (4 players for each team, except 2 players for Korea).

    The 6 missing players are :

    - Mijatovic (Yugoslavia)
    - Boban (Croatia)
    - Jerkan (Croatia)
    - Kostadinov (Bulgaria)
    - Balakov (Bulgaria)
    - Munteanu (Romania)

    This is important to notice that 2 different sets were issued. The first one shows no difference with the original stickers (except the sticker's back where appears the trademarks "Serenisima" and "Danone"). The 2nd set (with same players) is named "Football Stars" and the stickers have no logo "France 98" on the upper right corner of the front side.
    I have picture if you want to illustrate.

    1. Hi Makhno

      That's great, thanks very much for your help. If you can send me some pictures that would be great, especially if they show the differences between the two different versions.

      My e-mail address is alanjenkins1899@gmail.com

      I'll look forward to hearing from you. Thanks,

      Alan

    2. Hi Makhno

      Just updating the list and I see you 2 Bulgarian players already on my list - Kostadinov (Bulgaria) and Balakov (Bulgaria).

      It looks like there is 1 Scotland player and 1 South African player missing.

      Thanks,

      Alan

    1. Hi Makhno,

      Thanks for the last two names, it would have helped if I'd had the players in some sort of order. I'll look forward to receiving the scans later. Thanks very much.

      Take care,

      Alan
