60 postcards
A collection of postcards issued during the World Cup in Sweden, with the backs printed so that the collector can record the teams and scores. I've shown two of the Wales cards above - the quarter final against Brazil and the win over Hungary in the play-off game. The Hungarians kicked lumps out of John Charles with the game taking place just a couple of days before the quarter final. The Brazilians were very relieved that he missed the game. Who knows, if he'd been fit Wales might have won the 1958 World Cup!!

Hi what do the Roman numerals signify? Could these be the same postcards issued on match days but franked on non match days?
ReplyDeleteI am sorry, I can't remember. I was sent this list almost 40 years ago when I bought cards for my collection. After all this time I have no idea what the roman numerals stand for. Hopefully, someone else will know what they mean,.
