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.

ReplyDeleteHi Dave,
DeleteThat's an interesting variation, thank you.
Cheers, Alan
