Carr's Biscuits - (CAR-250/CBM-7A) Sports 'Sixsome' Series


1963
(CAR-250/CBM-7A) Sports 'Sixsome' Series
Carr's Biscuits
48 cards

 I've no idea what the cut-out cards look like and this checklist is not complete but I can show you the album that was produced to collect the cards in.
UPDATE (26-09-2024 23:45):  I haven't been able to find the football card so I've included the Rugby League card and two different versions of the card backs, as listed below.

 (CAR-250-1/CBM-7A) Sports 'Sixsome' Series - base outline blue
(CAR-250-2/CBM-7A) Sports 'Sixsome' Series - base outline brown
(CAR-250-2/CBM-7A) Sports 'Sixsome' Series - blank back

    Curious if those are the only images you have? I'm looking to find out the number on the basketball card.

      Hi Adam,
      Thanks for getting in touch. Unfortunately, I can't help you. These are so rare. I don't have an image of the basketball one and I'm still looking for images of the association football one.
      Sorry,
      Alan

      Hey Alan - I actually saw a photo of the association football card on a post from this site in 2013 - https://cartophilic-info-exch.blogspot.com/2013/06/carr-sports-champions.html

      Hi Adam,
      Thanks for getting back to me. When I added those football and golf cards I didn't remember that they came from this 'sixsome' series. I'll amend that post to tie in with this series.
      Cheers,
      Alan

      Glad I could help make the connection. I just bought the set of 48, hopefully one day I can find a complete checklist, since they aren't numbered on the card, only on the album it seems.

      Hi Adam,
      Congratulations on getting a complete set. I hope one day to find an album so that I can complete the checklist.
