1953-58
Famous Footballers ~ No. 1/2/3 Series
Chix Confectionery Co. Ltd.
48 cards each series
Mick Parsons has sent in scans of some Arsenal cards he received recently. They look familiar but these cards are smaller than the usual Chix cards, measuring 35mm x 66mm, similar to regular cigarette cards, whereas the usual cards are much larger at 51mm x 100mm. They feature Arsenal players from all three series. I've never seen these before and Mick has no further information. He's sent in scans of all the cards including one next to a regular card. Can anyone provide an insight into where these cards come from?
The slightly smaller cards are quite common and happen throughout all three series. I suspect the factory used more than one cutting machine and they were set up differently. As for the very small cards , I've really no idea , in over 60 years of collecting Chix cards I've never seen any of those.
