Soccer Cards

Dave, I'm with you! I mean anything, at least if not a list of every player and price value at least a listing of what year the set was made ( or approx year ) a photo of a sample card and how many cards are in the set. I never played soccer, but it is the most popular sport in the world ( I do live in NJ, but I truly feel that even in the US it is fairly popular ) Soccer cards are a sleeping giant in my opinion and the vintage issues don't get near the respect they deserve! I'd like to see PSA step up and do an article of vintage Pele cards.

i honestly do not have the time necessary to investigate 100's of different sets/years ........ but i do have quite a bit of info on pre-1950. (not really anything i discovered, just stuff i have complied from around the net)

maybe we should start a new thread and give this a "go"???

if each of us list our known years/sets and post a pic i bet we could put one heck of a list up??

it would be helpful to many people, and possibly help promote soccer/footballer collecting.

Hey Guys,

I have been collecting sports cards since 1967, and started with soccer in the early 1990s. Here are 2 sites that may assist you:

http://cards.littleoak.com.au
www.soccercardindex.com

The Australian site is run by a collector named Nigel Mercer and it covers all (or nearly all) English and Scottish issues from 1965 - 1980. There are photos of most of the cards, complete checklists, card wrappers, boxes, stories, etc.

Soccer card index is maintained by a Norwegian collector and has many , many checklists of newer issues from all over the world. He has recently added 3 1970s Topps English sets from Nigel's site, and is always updating with new sets from the UK, Spain, Germany, etc.

I hope this helps, as I am also constantly looking for more soccer card info.

Jeff

i know nothing ..... so i figured i'd play "the hero" and do some internet searching and find them for you ..... no luck.

BUT ..... while looking for your cards i stumbled on a soccer card forum, set up an account, and made a post to see if anyone else knows.

they dont have very many members......... so i'm not sure if i'll get any info.

I collect rookie cards from all sports and did quite a bit of searching until I found a pele rookie. Originally I got a 64 panini thinking that was his rookie but soon found out he had several cards from 58 that were produced in brazil and Europe. I always thought it would be an interesting topic for smr to do an article on pele and Ali rookies.

Here is the 1959[?] Heinerle card of Pele from Germany:



I also like this one, the 1965 Crack Golazo from Argentina:

That's the first time I've seen that 65 card. Very cool. I have 58 Titulares in very rough condition and a 58 Quigol in a psa 3 but always looking for new early cards

I wish I had soccer cards like these.
