Are these rare? I got given a collection as a kid and still have them?
ReplyDeleteHi Scotty,
DeleteYes, they are hard to come by these days but I don't know if that means they are valuable though, a set of 11 sold for £50 in Stacey's Auction no. 199 (not sure of the date).

I have a set still in original envelope posted to the guy I bought them off in Wimbledon have kept them all together in the original envelope the cards are actually concave ( like a contact lense ) a guy called “Keith Lindsay” was ( is) a big collector since a child and he told me he believes hes the ONLY one in world who managed to get everyone inc white autograph each separate card NOW that set is worth a grand as a guess ( also I worked for George Graham when he was spurs coach and he signed up around 20 official portrait photos in spurs tracksuit in his office one day I posted 4-5 to Keith for whitch he was very grateful
DeleteThat's really interesting, thanks for sharing.
DeleteThank you Alan for that reply
