A&BC Chewing Gum Ltd. - 1972/73 Footballer (Orange/Red backs) wrappers

The A&BC Chewing Gum Footballer set issued in 1972/73, commonly known as Orange/red backs marks another strange development for A&BC. The cross-promotion with Bazooka Joe is back, at least for Series 1 (cards 1 to 109). In Series 2 A&BC introduced playing cards (of dubious printing and production quality) and printed the rules on the wrappers.If you know of other wrappers or Bazooka Joe offers please email me here.
