1958
Kostymserien VM-58
Unknown issuer
Sweden
48 cards
A rare set of cards featuring 48 footballers - 12 each from Brazil, West Germany, Hungary and Sweden. Nobody seems to know who issued them as the backs are blank, they're known as the 'Costume Series' as most of the players are wearing casual shirts and jackets rather than football jerseys. It's surprising that these have only just been 'discovered', with quite a few appearing in auctions recently. It all seems rather suspicious, especially when the backs of the cards are blank. If they were issued in 1958 wouldn't who ever issued them want customers to keep coming back for more by including details of where they come from and how to get additional cards on the backs of the cards?

Hello! Many swedish cards from that time came with blank backs. These were probably promo cards that came with chocolate or gum boxes. A one time collection of cards that came with the sweets.
ReplyDeleteYes, that's a real nuisance when trying to compile checklists. Early Italian cards are the same.
