1994
Hall of Fame Collection - 1st Series
The Footballer
24 cards
John Levitt has provided all the scans for this illustrated checklist. He also has some observations about this collection:
The cards were issued in clear cellophane packets of 6 cards attached to the front of issues 24-27 of "The Footballer Magazine" which was published every 2 months beginning Jun/Jul 1994, Aug/Sep 1994, Oct/Nov 1994, Dec/Jan 1994/95. Regrettably, centering of the image on the front and the text on the back is not true in every case, the margin can vary from card to card and it effects both top to bottom and left to right on both sides. In addition, some cards appear to have been printed on a slightly lighter or darker card. It is not possible to determine whether or not these cards were printed with mixed coloured boards at the same time but what does appear to have occurred is some form of reprint(s) judging by the variant cards.
I bought my set in early 1995 direct from the London Cigarette Card Co., who had just acquired complete sets despite not featuring them in the new issues column of their magazine.
