A&BC - (AAB-355/ABF-10-9) Footballers - 1968-69 Yellow Backs (03) - Prototype Negatives


1968-69
(AAB-355-1/ABF-10-9-1) Footballers
A&BC
101 cards

Listed a little incorrectly as Prototype Negatives, these are prints that have been created from the negatives and relate to the Yellow back series from 1968-69. I presume all the images are reversed, going by the captions on each image. Strangely though, the images of Peter Osgood, Joe Royle, Ray Wilson and Nobby Stiles seem to match the images used on the cards
All the images were used in the 1968-69 Yellow back collection, except Ian Ure, who doesn't feature in that collection. His image was used in the 1969-70 Crinckle-cut set of cards.
UPDATE (08-01-2024 21:21):  Two more prints added - Notts Forest and Southampton, provided by Martin Bennett and West Ham United, provided by Mark Avennell.
