Futera Selecta Club - Baines' Football Cards

? cards

I don't know if Futera will be announcing a checklist for this collection, that takes it's inspiration from the cards issued by John Baines in the 1880's through to the early 1920's and are only available to Futera's Selecta Club members. I don't have a complete checklist but I will update this list as and when new cards are identified.

Panini - FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 Sticker Collection (13) - Update - Spain (02)


2023
FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 Sticker Collection
Panini
580 stickers

The original update sheet appeared in issue 196 of Jugón magazine - a sheet of 9 stickers of Spanish players, but there was a problem. The sheet included four players that didn't go to the World Cup, consequently four players that did go were still missing from the collection. I speculated whether Panini would produce another sheet of stickers with the next issue of Jugón. That didn't happen but the new issue of the magazine, issue number 199, does include another sheet of stickers. The magazine also has another page to be cut out and kept with the album, once the stickers are attached.
