Wembley card game (Green back) - playing card
Ariel Productions
32 cards
The Wembley board game last almost 40 years from the 1950s through to the 1990s. Originally created by Ariel Productions and later issued by Gibson Games, each version came with 32 club cards. These changed from one version to another as clubs were promoted and relegated, and other clubs came in and went out of favour. For most versions the cards had rounded corners, though one was issued with square corners. Likewise most of the cards had red backs, but there was an orange version and also a green version. Monetary values also increased with time.
A set of cards came with each box, so they in themselves are not really collectable. But one-club collectors usually like to add their clubs cards to their collections. I have most of the Cardiff City variations in my own collection. It is the green version for which I am trying to compile a list of cards, I only know of the following:

Sports Favourites

The write up with these cards stated "Reproduction of an un-issued card drawn by John Barr for Donaldson's 'Sports Favourites'." Strange items that I've only recently became aware of. No idea how old they are. I've stated the 1950s, but I could be completely wrong. They must be very rare if they do come from the time when Donaldson's Sports Favourites were issued. Are there any others? Is it a coincidence that the three cards I know of are all Manchester City players?
