PROOF issues! Advance test copies! Ink-stamped on
rear 'advance type', proofs 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). These 1-offs, as well as the other,
very few similar, unique items here, have been in John Allen's
archive for 3 decades! It seems that 1 complete sheet of proof
issues, each stamped, may have been cut neatly and divided into 1 of
each card some years (decades?) ago. Not seen in 30 years collecting
rare and exotic cards. Showing here are GEORGE BEST and CELTIC
proofs. For more of this Benelux test printing for "Football

EXTREMELY RARE in the unused state, as

were 'transferred' (by children using water, as per model aeroplane
kits) either on to the spot in the album, for that year's Panini
collection - in Italy - that was designed to receive it, or on to
anything and everything else, skin, cupboard doors, glass... just as
most of us, once upon a time, 'transferred' these delicate objects,
these 'decals', as they are properly known.Still with plain backing

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. CLICK THE SMALL PICTURE, at left, to SEE A BIGGER PICTURE

77/78) at CHELSEA! yes, at Stamford Bridge. It was the F.A.Cup

This Spanish oddity came with the
above Orient v Arsenal card of similar origins. Were they both the
result of an O's fan working/living in Spain in those days?
Perhaps never seen before now by UK football card collectors, this
is a 1973 calendar card (similar size to A&BC GUM cards of the era)
that is from a British match action (there is a YOUNG'S STRONG
EXPORT BITTER advert hoarding, and another fro RAZORS. Who are the
teams? Red versus Yellows. Is the yellow an away kit? Are we seeing
Orient, Sunderland (they did have an all-red kit in those years)
Liverpool or ...? There's a big crowd, two-tier stand; with
blue fence divide (similar seen on old pix of Brisbane Road) It's a
mystery card, for the moment. This card has some ink staining
but it affects the back more than than the front. Fair to good but
you'd be more likely to find the proverbial needle in yonder
haystack than see another one of these.

World War Two closed. This, however, is a VERY GOOD PLUS+ to
excellent condition card. You won't ever find better! VERY RARE.
