Football cards and stickers issued around the world, from the 1880's to the present day and even some that haven't been issued yet. I don't have any cards for sale, nor do I provide valuations, this blog is just a means of passing on information I have gathered over many decades of collecting. Alan Jenkins.

Unknown issuer - World Cup (1966?)
1966/1970 ?
World Cup
Unknown issuer
Unknown number
I've been sent scans of the front and back of a sticker or stamp that is based on the A&BC stickers known as 1966 World Cup stamps. The A&BC issue is rare enough but I've never seen any stickers similar to the one shown at the top.
Can anyone identify this sticker?
For those that are interested you can find illustrations of all the A&BC 1966 World Cup Stamps here - http://cards.littleoak.com.au/196667_abc_world_cup_stamps/196667_abc_world_cup_stamps.htm

Kinnear & Co. / Marcus - Football Clubs & Colours (3)
1898
Football Clubs & Colours
Kinnear & Co. / Marcus
25 cards
Matt Stevens has very kindly sent in photos of all the cards in this collection. They are usually listed as being issued in 1898, and I originally thought that they are a lot older, probably pre-dating the founding of the Football League in 1888, going by the choice of teams. But the only player featured in the collection - Jack Devey, joined Aston Villa in March 1891 and stayed at the club until retiring in 1902 aged 35. He was a director of the club for the next 32 years. Whilst captain the club won 5 League Championships and 2 F.A. Cup Finals.
UPDATE (19-11-201 21:35): According to collector Ogdenscards - the A.F. Doo stamp can be seen on the backs of many Guinea Gold cards and has been assumed to be an early collector.

4160 1/1 cards
This collection is due for release in February 2015. These cards are all drawn by artists, there are no photographs used on the cards. Each card has been personally signed by the player and is guaranteed to be a true 1 of 1 card. There are two cards in each box, 8 boxes in a case and the collection is limited to just 260 cases. I make that a total of 4,160 cards in the whole collection.
The complete checklist has not yet been announced, but will include at least three footballers. More news when I get it.
