1er Campeonati Mundiel de Football - Montivideo ano 1930
Chocolate Franco
Uruguay
25+ cards

A large advertising card measuring 220mm x 175mm. I'm not sure if this is a one-off or part of a series. The second card shows Pedro Cea's shot going into the net to bring the 1930 World Cup final back to 2-2. Uruguay went on to score two more goals to become the first ever World Champions. I've seen photos of quite a few of these cards and twenty five are listed here. Where possible I've included the full description as it appears on the cards, some though were not of good enough quality to be able to read each and every word and missing phrases have been identified by a series of dots.

  1. Hi, I'm very interested in seeing the card with the match Argentina v USA. How can I get a hold of this card? My grandfather, Jim Brown, played for the US in the 1930 World Cup.

  2. Alan, can you contact me about the US v ARG Chocolates Franco card? Email me at 1930worldcup90th@gmail.com. James Brown, grandson of Jim Brown, 1930 US Men's National forward who scored the only goal in the semi-final. To get this card would be a dream for my collection. Thank you for any help you can be. James Brown
