Prestons, Bolton - Famous Wanderers

Famous Wanderers (postcards)
Prestons, Bolton
12?

Another set of Bolton Wanderers postcards from around the same time as the last collection I featured. The last set consisted of 8 cards, I believe, though I am not certain, that this collection is made up of 12 cards. Any information on other cards in this set would be most welcome.

Kim Bo-Kyung

Kim B-Kyung

Something a little different this time. South Korean international midfielder Kim Bo-Kyung signed for Cardiff City (카디프 시티) last summer, just before the start of the football tournament at the 2012 Olympic Games. He ws one of the stars of the tournament. He didn't play too much in the first half of the season, but he came into his own later in the season as Cardiff City ran away with the Championship title, winning a number of Man of the Match awards. Kim and Cardiff City will be playing in the Premier League in 2013/14 season.

I noticed that this blog has been picking up a few views from people in South Korea, so I thought I'd make a request for any information on football cards issued in Kim home country. I would be interested in buying/trading any cards that feature Kimbo (as the Cardiff City fans affectionately call him) since he joined my club.

If you have any information on South Korean football cards, please get in touch.

1970s
Various Football Stickers
B.A.B.

An assortment of Football stickers from the early 1970s. The player stickers could be issued by B.A.B. or Northern Trancessories. The others I have no idea about, but I've added them here just in case some collectors might recognise them and have similar stickers on their own collections.

Any help in identifying further stickers would be much appreciated.

More B.A.B. stickers will be feautured in the coming days and weeks.

Daily Mail - Sportraits (different)

Sportraits (newspaper cut-outs)
Daily Mail
Unknown number issued

Roger Pashby has been in touch again:

Hi again Alan,
I notice that you have just uploaded a different type of Sportraits which features a photographic head and cartoon body. Well, here are two that I have featuring Huddersfield Town players Peter Doherty and Bob Hesford in yet another style! This time we have the photographic head, a brief bio and then a cartoon.
I wonder just how many different series there were of these?

Check out Roger's superb collection of Huddersfield Town cards and stickers at Huddersfield Town Cards & Stickers, you won't be disappointed.

Blue Ribbon / Soccer Laduma - Blue Ribbon South Africa Soccer Hall of Fame Collection

2012
Blue Ribbon South Africa Soccer Hall of Fame Collection
Blue Ribbon / Soccer Laduuuuuma magazine
South Africa
66 stickers and cards

This collection of 66 cards and stickers began in 2012. The magazine Soccer Laduuuuuma gave away a sheet of 9 perforarted soccer cards that included details of the featured players. Stickers showing the players were given free with Blue Ribbon bread and the collector just needed to attach the sticker to the relevant card. Spare stickers could be attached to a Hall of Fame poster that was given away with the Soccer Laduuuuma magazine. This list contains the names of 60 players, so there are still 6 names missing.

Turner & Wright / Turnwright's Chocolate - Football Highlights / Voetbal Glanspunte

Football Highlights / Voetbal Glanspunte
Turner & Wright / Turnwright's Chocolate
South Africa
?

Cards from South Africa this time. Turnwright's issued a number of football card collections through the 1960s, Many of the featured players had been imported from the lower leagues in England. Which makes some of these cards the only ones to feature certain club players from England. I only know of card numbers for two of them - the ones in the illustrations. I've no idea how many cards make up a full set.

Dorhams Press, Southampton - Football Caricatures (2)

1971
Football Caricatures
Dorhams Press, Southampton
12?

I've heard from Southampton collector Martin Bennett who has been able to supply some more photos of the Dorhams Press cards:

Hi Alan,
I have just found your great website via Nigel Mercer. With my extensive collection of Southampton cards, stickers and other memorabilia I should be able to fill in some gaps in due course. I was very interested in the newly discovered B.A.B. Shields and will need to look out for the Southampton ones which I have never seen. 
In respect of the Dorhams Press caricatures I have the following cards in addition to the Ron Davies you featured, which are attached on a scan.
This set must have been produced around 1971 as both O'Brien and O'Neil joined Southampton in 1970. It is very similar to a 15 card set of caricatures drawn by Ron Davies which were produced by Southern Newspapers Ltd and given away to readers of "The Pink" Sports Echo (scan available if required).
Hope this helps

Martin Bennett

21 cut outs

Another variation on the Sportraits newspaper cut-outs. I presume these also come from the Daily Mail. These are numbered and although the body is drawn the head is a photograph, a short biography is followed by a facsimile autograph. No. 21 is the highest number I've seen. I don't know if it is significant or just a coincidence that the only ones I know of so far come from the two Manchester clubs.
