  1. My friend has this collection, Minus Ray Clemence card, all others are signed congratulations and there signature apart from Geoff Strong and Ron Yeats, friends got them as a present when he married in 1968.

    Are they worth anything?

    1. Sounds fascinating. I would think they'd be worth something, though I wouldn't have any idea about putting a price on them.

  2. I have the same set dated 1968 but the Liverpool goalkeeper is Tommy Lawrence. I also have the Everton squad both in their original folders and in their original postage envelope, mint condition, never stuck or pinned on walls etc.

    1. That's amazing. I've got the Everton collection on my blog too. I think it's likely that Tommy Lawrence has been incorrectly identified as Ray Clemence. Clemence did start playing regularly for the first team until 1970, so I think I'll amend the list.

      Cheers, Alan

  3. Hi Alan, just checked my set and there are 12 cards in each set, you have Tommy Lawrence listed twice now. So with one listing removed that would be correct.
    I will send the Everton list through later.

    Alan.
