37 ?

I have a list of 33 of the French Sportstars. So I am grateful to Trevor Cotterell who has supplied what looks like a comprehensive list of the French ones. I have Klaus Allofs listed as a Bordeaux player, Trevor has him listed as a Marseille player. He played for both clubs in the 1989 period. Perhaps he is available in the colours of both teams?
I've never seen the back of a French package, so I've no idea if this list is complete.

I've also got a list of 16 that were apparently issued in the Netherlands, but I've never found any that come with different packaging to indicate a separate Dutch collection. It's possible that the International Stars versions from the UK or Germany may have been on sale in the Netherlands.

Trevor Cottrell has sent in lists of other collections of Sportstars issued at the same time as the U.K. version in a number of other countries.

Chris Crapper has been in touch regarding the Tennant's World Cup '74 Scottish Squad beermats...
There is another version of this set, whereby there is a red frame within the blue frame on the reverse side.
I've held off publishing this for some time in the hope of finding a couple of  scans to go with it, but I haven't been able to track any down, so I'm publishing it anyway, along with a couple of the beermats without the red line.
UPDATE (13-03-2020 15:26):  Ian Black has provided photos of two of the beermats with the red frameline within the blue frame.

I've had an e-mail from Bury collector Barry Warburton....
Re. Top League Bury FC items. Interesting.  
1992-93 - I have the same three cards as you, and that's all.
1993-94 - I have the same apart from also having Tony Rigby, but no Lee Bracey.
1994-95 - I have the same, but also have Chris Lucketti, Michael Jackson and Tony Rigby.
I also have two of the team stickers and a club badge sticker, which I presume comes from this collection and it would certainly fit in the Top League Logo "Photosticker" space.
I have the album for the 1993/94 season.  It is made of a 'plastic' material and folds over. Interesting that there are 28 space to stick players, as well as a space for the manager.
I remember buying all this stuff from the local Birthdays card shop.  They were a local firm and were our sponsors at the time. The stickers were all on rolls of the same player and were perforated to rip off.  I trimmed the excess paper round the sides.
UPDATE (26-10-2017 14:34):  Alex Bartling is looking for the card of Andy King, who passed away recently. If anyone can help please get in touch and I'll let Alex know. Thanks.

The Kickoff: Panini America Begins Packout for 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ Prizm
APRIL 25, 2014

by Tracy Hackler

You’ve seen preliminary product information from that initial headline-grabbing announcement in late February. You’ve seen the uncut sheet previews here, here and here. Now, following so much pre-release buzz, we’re finally ready to start showing off some honest-to-goodness finished cards from Panini America’s 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ Prizm set, a release that could very well go down as one of the most globally collected trading card sets in . . . well . . . forever.

And that would likely be true even if 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ Prizm didn’t feature arguably the greatest soccer autograph checklist ever assembled (which it does). But we’ll get to that legendary list of signers next week. Today, we’re bringing you up close and personal with some of the set’s shimmering insert cards and their various splendid parallels — just some of the results from the packout process that began in earnest late last week.

Some of the product began shipping to international destinations earlier this week. U.S. collectors can expect to find the product on shelves starting around May 7. Trust us, though, we’ll have plenty more previews to share between now and then. But today, sit back and enjoy this...
