Set maker: BAB Souvenir Company
Set details: Soccer Dip club shields
Number in set: 44 (that I know of), plus colour varieties (see some examples below)
Checklists: Set checklist
Links: Straight sided badges, Straight sided badges with players, Rounded sides badges,
          Straight sides with gold borders
Notes: Thanks to Alan this website can now confirm that Soccer Dip was the name used by BAB for
three stickers sold for 3p. We can guess that the word 'Dip' referred to the lucky dip element of which
stickers you bought. This appears different from how I understand BAB sold their other club badges via
shop displays where you only bought the club(s) you were after. The wrapper confirms that there were,
at least originally, 38 designs to collect. As you can see below there are a number of different styles
(e.g. some non-scalloped tops), designs and even slight differences in sizes within this assortment,
which suggests that perhaps BAB issued updates or reprints over time.
