| World Cup Souvenir.
The World Cup Souvenir Cards were produced to acknowledge 'England World
Cup candidates plus international stars of world renown'. The cards were
obtained by cutting out coupons which appeared in the Daily Sketch. You
needed to collect 5 coupons then send them to the newspaper who sent you
5 cards (as a strip of 5). The first coupons appeared in the newspaper dated
23 February 1970. The Daily Sketch later issued a 'Stop Press' which advised 'You can now get your complete set of 40 World Cup Colour Cards in three weeks instead of seven. All you have to do now is send in Twelve Coupons for the other 35 cards. Start collecting your coupons from the Daily Sketch from Monday, March 2nd'. The cards were designed to be cut out from their strip of 5 and stuck individually into the Mexico 1970 World Cup Souvenir Album, which cost 1/3 at the time. Some cards therefore appear on the market in strips, while most appear singularly. Number in set: 40 Gallery: N/A Checklists: Set checklist or Team checklist. |

| World Cup Transfers.
These transfers were issued as two sheets, each of 14. They were often
cut into single transfers and stuck onto school books. I'm not sure how
you got them or much more about them. The stickers were designed to be
stuck onto the Daily Sketch 1970 World Cup Picture Chart. Number in set: 28 Gallery: Set gallery Checklists: Set checklist or Team checklist. |
