? cards
The cards are actually included as part of the wrapper. I have found a couple of examples but the players are unnamed, these are the complete wrappers but many examples have been cut down to the size of the card. The collection is called Wie Ben Ik?, which translates as Who Am I?. Space is left for the collector to add the name of the featured player. Because the players are not identified, it makes compiling a checklist very difficult. Below the card is printed 'Voetbal Kwartetspel' which means these are linked to the playing cards issued around the same time. With a full set of those cards it might be possible to identify the players in this collection. The artwork is by Monty Gum's regular artist from the 1950's and 1960's - Dik Bruynesteyn.
