The Sun Soccer Football Stamps 22 Various New And Unused
Unmounted
Please see photo for condition . Kept in the dark so
unfaded.
Following on from the undoubted success of the Swap cardsthe Sun followed up in 1971/72 with the ambitious Soccerstamps collection. TheSoccerstamps were stamps, rather than cards, and came in a wide variety ofsizes, shapes and colours. The tokens for Soccerstamps appeared in the Sun eachday. The Sun only accepted tokens in lots of six, plus 5p, to get your 12Soccerstamps by return post.
The stamps were to be mounted in the spaces for them in the 164-page FootballEncyclopaedia and Soccerstamp Album (available from newsagents for 10p at thetime). The album suggests that you stick them in with stamp hinges. Collectorsof these stamps therefore distinguish between those which were (a) never stuckinto an album, (b) stuck in with stamp hinges or (c) stuck in as stamps.
The Sun claimed at the time that over 60 million Soccerstamps were to beprinted, which means that they often turn up today.
Number in set: 500 stamps. Four additional stamps are also known, numbered 501to 504, issued as a block of four ‘Christmas Greetings’
THANKS FOR LOOKING
