MCAE-2-4 Winners Against The Odds

12 cards (3 Football)

A small set of matchbox labels highlighting some impressive sorting achievements. They were printed on the back/underside of the boxes. I know of 12 different ones and I think the checklist is complete, they are unnumbered and are numbered here for reference purposes only (in the order in which I discovered them). This is also an illustrated checklist of the football ones.

2.  Geordie Giantkillers (Sunderland - 1973 F.A. Cup Final)
3.  Those Magnificent Magyars (England 3 Hungary 6)

I've no idea how many different clubs were covered by this company, I know of the five listed here. Were there more? Each set consisted of 5 matchbox labels, which were sold complete in a box, as shown above. I'd like to thank Andy Mac and his Derby County memorabilia site (http://www.derbycounty.me.uk/). I've tried contacting Andy but his site hasn't been updated since early last year.
