20 cards

Following on from yesterdays article about the George Best Colouring Competition cards, I've had an e-mail from Paul Maguire with scans of 8 further cards. At some point it seems this series expanded from a set of 12 cards to set of 20! The reverse of the first 12 cards are printed in black and refer to a set of 12, the reverse of the extra cards are printed in blue and refer to a set of 20 cards. Also, the picture and the drawing has changed places with these extra cards. I also noticed that the first batch didn't include an address to send your competition entries to, but these later ones do. The previous 12 cards can be found here - Smiths Crisps - George Best Colouring Competition.

I know it's not a card, it's the Football Crazy badge. I'm not sure if this was given away with the crisps or whether you had to send for it in some way.

Another collectable cut-out, though rather large as it's a full page advert from a contemporary comic or magazine. This is no. 1 in a numbered series of adverts. I don't know how many there were in total.
