Monty Gum.
Apparently Monty Gum is a brand or
company name associated with the Monty Factories from the city of
Leiden in Holland. They are amazingly resilient producers of football
cards, with their first set of English cards produced in 1961, and
their most recent in 1990. This site, of course, only covers their
cards from 1965/66 to 1979/80. Quality of cards and printing is a bit
of an issue with the early Monty cards. There is an excellent Monty
Gum site
here. |

| International Football
Teams.
A set produced for the international market which includes 11 English
teams. I'm showing a scan of the packet which they came in plus one
card. The back of the packet is all written in Dutch, so its all foreign
to me. However, I suspect that it says that the backs of all of the
cards make up a 4-colour poster of Benfica Set size: 72.

Football.
Unnumbered, poor quality cards on a cheap card with plain grey backs.
The quality control on the player and team names is also very suspect,
with one card mentioning both the player and team name as 'Everton'
(actually Terry Darracott). The QPR and Glasgow Rangers cards were
printed with the word 'Football' in either red or yellow writing.
The set is mainly of individual players, but
also includes some team cards.

1977/78 |

World Cup football.
Unnumbered, poor quality cards on a cheap card with plain grey backs.
The wrapper says 'Hannah's present', though I'm not sure who Hannah's
are.
The set is mainly of individual players, but
also includes some team cards.
The wrapper (shown) has some English text on
the back which states:
'Join the Monty Club and order an album by sending 10 empty packets plus
50p in stamps. Address: Monty Club - POB 173 - Leiden, Holland'.
Set size: 224 |
