| George Best WIZARD red |
 |
TRANSFER! From late 1969
promotional transfers for the re-release of WIZARD COMIC in early
1970. This transfer is laid-down to paper, part of a page from an
old school book, cut out carefully. EXTREMELY RARE issue as
transfers rarely last in their un-transferred state and this
re-release was a very small and unsuccessful affair. There were not
many of these issued nor did many survive! This is one of the first
we have seen in nearly 50 years! We found a selection of these in
the same school book, mostly Middlesbrough, some WBA and some
Southampton but there were two George Bests - different to each
other. See the other one further down this page. CLICK on
the pic at left to see a bigger version and how to buy it.

COMIC in early 1970. This transfer is laid-down to paper, part of a
page from an old school book, cut out carefully. EXTREMELY RARE
issue! Back is plain paper, part of a page from a school book

and only possible transfer, sometime in around 1970 CLICK on

Very hard to find, with George Best in
the line-up, this is the Manchester United cardfrom the Italian-only
(never issued outside Italy) 1968 collection. Used, removed but
acceptable (especially as a mint one, if found, could cost £75).
Priced accordingly £25.00

PROOF issue! Advance test copy, ink stamped as an
advance test pressing on the rear; a type that only appeared in
quite different form a year later, in the "1972-1973" Benelux Panini
launch (note French and Dutch language on rear; and Dutch language
"proof example" red ink stamps). This 1-off, as well as the
other similar unique items here, has been in John Allen's archive
for 3 decades! It seems 1 complete sheet of proof issues, each
stamped, may have been cut neatly and divided into 1 of each card
some years (decades£) ago. Never seen before! Not seen in 30 years
collecting rare and exotic cards. GEORGE BEST, 1972, proof/test
issue for the Benelux "Football 1972-1973" issue. UNIQUE item.
VG+ condition. £75.00

RARER than most think ... these unusual stickers,
of Italian-production origins that are obscured under the Anglo
American sounding name, Ava Americana, were to flank Panini's first
openly Italian post-EEC (pre-EU) entry into The British Isles, in
1977. Notwithstanding stickers by 'Top Sellers' (a cover
organisation, for those "printed by Panini" stickers - and funded by
Panini too, through a Soho publisher-house of erotica, to put it
delicately) no Italian sticker empires had made it into GB/UK/BI
before the EEC-1976 changes to trade laws. This series was the
joint-first, alongside rival Panini's Euro Football (1977) series.
These days to find these stickers un-used is quite a rare event
indeed.
GEORGE BEST - The Original Toker, the goal poacher extraordinaire
who followed the bear, to whom the vodka-martini goddesses did build
a temple - mausoleum - and the greatest talent of his day (and he
knew some talent, by all accounts!)
