Fourth picture contains 15 Wolves season ticket books, front covers only 40's/50's/60's; a box of studs you nailed into your boots! complete; 1954 World Cup 1/4 final ticket between England and Uruguay that I have been advised is a fake; 2 Barcelona cards for different sports memberships 1950's; 1982 World Cup coin / fixture list (on reverse) Feyenoord postcard 78-9 with facsimile signatures to reverse; 3 Scottish annuals Usher 60-1, Distillers 62-3, Murphys 35-6; St Mirren card 56-7; London Sunday League handbook 53-4.

Fifth picture contains another, different, bunch of Bracelona official cards from 99-00.

Siuxth picture contains full set of Joe Mercer's 1970 World Cup squad (no base) 2 x 1950's Spanish football clubs cards given away with chocolate; Coventry xmas card; Walthamstow District rule book 1920-1.

There's also 3 FDC's that I had inadvertently missed out. This is the last push - hopefully - to get the Auchinleck Talbot fundraising I've been doing over the £5,000 mark. Postage will be heavy on this because of the amount of stuff involved, but have kept it at what I think is a very reasonable price for someone to either sell on or enhance their own collection at £55. Please pm me if you would like this?

Had to edit it as I missed out 5 x Leamington FC badges, and 21 cards from the 1940's Football Whist game as well.

thanks, John

They're only covers otherwise they'd have been in auction long while since!

Does anyone know if the Joe Mercer busts came from cereal packets as I seem to remember having a few of those

I seem to remember Joe Mercer and other football busts been given away
at petrol stations early 1970's when my Dad filled up with petrol.

Given as a feeble when purchasing Cleveland Petrol and the busts sat on a plastic base if I recall.

Cleveland Petrol issued a set 16 “ceramic” style busts of top players from the era. These were grandly titled Joe Mercer's Great Britain Soccer Squad 1971. These were collected in the normal way by buying petrol and receiving a mystery figure in return.

I initially thought it was Texaco who gave them away but it was coins that they issued in around 1969.

Found this wonderful site though....
