Football cards and stickers issued around the world, from the 1880's to the present day and even some that haven't been issued yet. I don't have any cards for sale, nor do I provide valuations, this blog is just a means of passing on information I have gathered over many decades of collecting. Alan Jenkins.
2013-14 Commemorative Engraved Plaque Manchester United F.C. 27 Silver Plaques
Created for corporate guests at Manchester United home games, the silver plaques are trade card size and feature a former Old Trafford player on one side, and details of the fixture on the other. They are presented in a cloth pouch inside a box with an embossed silver crest on the top. Missing details have been added and I've updated the list to include all the later fixtures.

This set of cards has been released this week in Peru. The unusual thing about them is that some of the backs of the cards include a photo of the players girlfriend or wife. I've just started compiling a checklist, but there's a long way to go yet...

1922 VAA-030 Sportsmen and Other Notabilities V.C.C., 71 Roman Road, London, E3 72 cards I've been thinking about these V.C.C. cards again. I had a niggling thought that there was another list of anonymous cards that have been likened to Bunsen and Barratt cards from the mid-1920s. As I said previously, the Barratt cards and the Anonymous cards are from different issuers, even though they use the same photos. Just for completeness, I'll repeat what I said previously: It seems that the Anonymous cards are V.C.C. cards without any reference to the company on the back. I am wondering if the V.C.C. cards are similar to the Webcosa Football Bingo wrappers from the late 1950s, where you had to collect the different teams as listed on the wrappers. The trouble was, most wrappers didn't have the team name printed on them!!! I wonder if it's the same with the V.C.C. cards - the only cards you could use for exchanging for presents were those that were numbered and had V.C.C. printed on the back. As the cards said, "No other cards accpeted unless printed with the name of V.C.C." This seems to imply that there may be cards without V.C.C. printed on them. I've got a list of 26 of the Anonymous cards and all the known V.C.C. cards appear in this list. The only little blip is the 26 cards, when the VCC numbers of the footballers only seem to run from 1 to 25 - 26 in the V.C.C. checklist is a cricketer. As you can see from the illustrations above, all the Barratt cards had the team name printed in capital letters. I've now found the other list, to be found in the Trade Index under ZJF-040. These are listed in the book as 'Famous Figures Series. As those issued by Bunsen, but unnumbered and untitled.' I've added further illustrations of real Bunsen cards from the Famous Figures Series. In my opinion, these cards have no real similarity to the Anonymous cards that I believe are part of the V.C.C. collection. I've included all the illustrations I've gathered over many years of these Anonymous cards. Another point I'd like to make is that V.C.C. cards can be found with the backs overprinted with a Poppletons rubber stamp. The only other time I've seen this rubber stamp used is on the backs of the Anonymous cards that are similar to the V.C.C. cards. I'd be pleased to hear from any collectors who have similar cards in their collections. It would also be good to hear from collectors regarding my theory about these Anonymous cards.
