Topps - (R714-26) Hocus Focus II


1955
(R714-26) Hocus Focus II
Topps
USA
96 cards (1 football)

I don't have the secondary numbering of some of the cards. These cards are slightly larger than the previous series listed - Topps - (R714-26) Hocus Focus - 25.5mm x 39.5mm against 22mm x 36.5mm and have different numbers. I believe the image of the Soccer card is the same in both series. The Soccer card is listed at number 19 and as number 8 of 15 in the Sports Thrills section.  don't have scans of the Soccer card so I've used images of another Sports Thrills card that doesn't appear in the small version.

La Vache Qui Rit (France) - Coupe du Monde de Football (1974)


1974
Coupe du Monde de Football
La Vache Qui Rit
France
16 stamps

There were 16 stamps to collect in boxes of La Vache Qui Rit. I don't have examples of all of them but it's strange that the original set of stamps issued by the Republic of Congo featured 18 designs. As I don't have images of all the ones included with the cheese product I don't know which two weren't included. Half the stamps show a player (no idea why England's Raich Carter is included for 1934 - he only made his international debut that year) from each of the tournaments and the other half shows details of the final.

1930.  Zamora (España)
1934.  Carter (Inglaterra)
1938.  Pioli (Italia)
1950.  Ghigga (Urugauy)
1954.  Rahn (Almennia)
1958.  Fontaine (Francia)
1962.  Yachine ((U.R.S.S.)
1966.  Eusebio (Portugal)
1970.  Pele (Brasil)

1930 Cup Final
1934 Cup Final
1938 Cup Final
1950 Cup Final
1954 Cup Final
1958 Cup Final
1962 Cup Final
1966 Cup Final
