12 scratch cards

These scratch cards have been issued over a number of seasons. I have complete lists for one of the Rangers Legends collections, the Rangers Strikers set and the Rangers Greatest Ever Team set. I'm still missing one name from the Rangers Captains collection and I only know of two scratch cards in the Rangers Legends set that is made up of team photos. Please help with information if you can.
UPDATE (04-04-2018 20:54):  I originally included five different sets of scratch cards in this post, but I've decided to do a little bit of housekeeping by cutting this post down to just one set of cards and then adding the other sets as separate posts over the next couple of days. I don't have any images to go with this checklist.
UPDATE (07-04-2018 09:28):  Richard White has kindly provided a scan of one of the scratch cards.

Footballers (?)

300 cards

Even though there are various designs, I think all these cards are from the same collection. An interesting set, as the lower numbers feature top players from around the world. Lots of missing numbers, I'm always interested in hearing from anyone who can fill in any gaps and would be happy to receive information in English or Greek.

Ακόμα κι αν υπάρχουν διάφορα σχέδια, νομίζω ότι όλοι Αυτές οι κάρτες είναι από την ίδια συλλογή. Μια ενδιαφέρουσα σειρά, όπως τα χαμηλότερα νούμερα διαθέτουν κορυφαίους παίκτες από όλο τον κόσμο. Πολλά αριθμούς που λείπουν, είμαι πάντα ενδιαφέρονται για ακρόαση από όποιον μπορεί να συμπληρώσει οποιαδήποτε κενά και θα είναι στην ευχάριστη θέση να λαμβάνουν πληροφορίες σε Ινγκλές ή Ελληνικά.

Topps - 2013 MLS (4)

2013
2013 MLS
Topps
USA / Canada

Something a little different this time. All these cards show 2 or more unnamed players. I thought it would be a good idea to try and record who appears on each card. I'm not very good at recognising MLS players but I've made a start (the players are listed in the order they appear on the card, from left to right). Can anyone add any others?

My friend Manfred has been in touch, to let me know how simple I'm getting....

This is funny, you wrote "Just 1 missing from the checklist" but the answer is on the photo above: No. 2 is Terlouw of Sparta. 
Terlouw was a top player in those years, although Abe Lenstra and Faas Wilkes were the best at that time. This card set was issued in a time when professional soccer was illegal in the Netherlands and Faas Wilkes was already a pro player in Spain and Italy.
Looking more closely at the list I see some spelling mistakes.
Regards, Manfred
