La Pie Qui Chante - Kiklac-Football

1937

216 cards

La Pie Qui Chante translates as The Singing Magpie, and I have been informed that there are 49 cards in this collection but the backs of the cards are blank and are unnumbered, so I don't even know what the set is actually called. I have also seen cards that look very similar but feature Cyclists. I have 26 footballers listed so far.
UPDATE (26-12-2017 15:19):  Two more added, thanks to Benedek Farkasházy.

UPDATE (26-12-2017 15:19):  Bakhuys added, thanks to Scott Leventhal.

UPDATE (28-09-2021 19:55):  Scott Leventhal has been in touch to state that there are often two cards of some players, which has led him to believe that there are two different sets. The cards with the half-length images are slightly longer and narrower than the cards with the head & shoulders portraits. Scott has suggested that the half-length might have been issued in c.1935-36 and the head & shoulders in c.1936-37. I have also been able to add details of a few more cards and it's possible that this set might feature a total of 72 cards. I have also included an image of an album page showing 12 Olympique de Marseille cards.

UPDATE (27-01-2025 14:26):  Serge Plumecocq has confirmed that there are a total of 216 cards, 12 for each of 18 teams and that other cards include cyclists and film stars.

UPDATE (28-01-2025 14:54):  Serge Plumecocq has provided the complete checklist for the first series - Olympique Lillois, Racing-Club Paris, Olympique de Marseille, C.S. Metz, R.C. Strasbourg and Stade Rennais.

UPDATE (07-02-2025 06:36):  Serge Plumecocq has forwarded information provided on page 2 of the album and I have added a translation:

"Les feuilles supplémentaires à l' Album, correspondants aux 2 ème et 3 ème séries, seront éditées en même temps que ces séries et vendues 0.25 par votre fournisseur habituel, ou à défaut vous seront adressées contre 0.50 en timbre-poste, à faire parvenir à LA PIE QUI CHANTE, Route Nationale, WATTIGNIES ( Nord )."

"The additional sheets to the Album, corresponding to the 2nd and 3rd series, will be published at the same time as these series and sold for 0.25 by your usual supplier, or failing that will be sent to you for 0.50 in postage stamps, to be sent to LA PIE QUI CHANTE, Route Nationale, WATTIGNIES (North)."

Serge has also provided more additions and a few amendedments to the checklist.
