There is also a Fosters Sporting Greats book illustrating all the cards in the series...
ReplyDeleteIn my collection I have 1994 as the date of issue and given the master card shown elsewhere in this index gives a prize to the Coca Cola Wembley final in March 1996 I suspect my date is the more correct. Also the book referred to is I believe an album for the card set. I believe I saw one once but it was priced too high for my taste.
ReplyDeleteHi Glyn,
DeleteI agree, 1994 does seem to be the more likely date, definitely later than 1992.
There are two unnumbered "Instant Win" cards - as described on the front of the advert shown elsewhere on this site, one for a T Shirt and the other for the card book/Album.
ReplyDeleteThank you Glyn, I'll try and get images of both cards.
DeleteI found a scan of the book card, still looking for the T-shirt version.
