    1990 Football World Cup. I was 8 years old. As a child I had collected all the 24 Cards. The bubble gums were very tasty too. I was addicted to them. I have been transported back to my childhood days. Thanks a lot for giving me back a huge slice of my childhood. Seeing these cards once again after so many years, there are tears of joy in my eyes now...

    Hello Alan, could you please upload the pictures of all the 24 cards, both front and back side. That would be like a great thing for all of us. We all would be very grateful to you. Thanks once again for taking us back to our childhood days and helping us to relive those memories once again. Those days were so simple and innocent. Those were the best days of our lives...

    1. Hi Raj,

      I would if I could, but unfortunately I don't own the set. If anyone reading this has the full set of cards and can scan them all - front and back, please get in touch. I'll certainly include them here.

    Andreas Herzog
    Escobar etc..

  9. Some cards are missing because there were two series. This is the second series which came. The first series had similar cards but with a calendar at the back. They were not a numbered series. However, they had far more cards than this series of 24 as far as I remember.

  10. Alan, if you see Thoma's pics (http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/attachments/shifting-gears/1253845d1403635996-football-world-cup-2014-thread-img_7166.jpg), the first row is from set 1 and has no numbers at the top right of the cards. The second row onwards is from set two and has numbers 1-24.
