Thanks a lot guys. :p

Just in case, what about nearest home league game to the eldest child's birthday?

Not sure if you guys will include this sticker in ur lists its john salako from merlin 94 in the sky sports section he was with palace at the time and has palace socks ,dont have the number as its stuck in. I will scan the page when i get time

not sure this is the right place but my son is collection the Merlin 2006 Premiership stickers and it costing a small fortune because he has no-one to swap with. Anyone else collecting?, PM me and maybe and I'll send you a list of wants and swaps, Cheers PBr

is this list of available palace stickers on this thread ,
is perry suckling sticker number 30 , from 1989 saint and greavsie allstar football album on it

No, it's available via e-mail from me, Stu and yes the Perry sticker is on it, although possibly not on very early versions of the list.

Wa-hey! Just scored this off ebay for a tenner - very pleased with myself.

Little things please little minds...

Well done Neil. I don't collect them, but can certainly understand your excitement getting that particular card.

Any chance of seeing a scan when you receive it?

Jeez Neil
You must have been alert to spot that, a real real rarity.
Treasure it, few Palace fans will have anything original in their collection relating to CPFC that is older. (considering we were only formed a year earlier!)

Arrrggghhh!

See today's Croydon Ad, Neil - a complete set of 15 "1908" CPFC Taddys is going up for Auction in London!

I have 14 of them, so it would be daft to bid £200+ for them, just to get the one I need ("Needham" ironically)

Someone must have spent ages building up that set!

It's already on here, courtesy of Dorking Eagle, on an early page.

I reckon someone could get it and sell the others on ebay, it'd be tempted if I could raise that sort of cash in the first place.

Don't worry, I will.

It's in great nick too.

The only thing i have left other than my sticker album in 95 is POGS

just been through my card collection and unearthed these from the taddy & co 1908-

brearley
lewis
needham
ryan
swann
walker

i'll get a piture of them scanned ,

I know you are not offering anything for sale on the BBS (heaven forbid)
but I have a swap of Woodger from the 1908 Taddy series, and would be very keen to swap it for Needham if you ever wish to consider it (it's the only one I need to complete the 15)

(and make a generous cash adjustment for your trouble)

many thanks for your kind words.but as neil the eagle will tell you,i have a very huge card/sticker collection on the palace ,and my aim is to try and fill the empty gap's ( yes i do need the woodger ,,,problem is thou.if i swoop this card,it'll take many a year to find another)

:)

no probs!
If you can scan it though, it'll be good to see what the bloke looked like!

Some Taddy's have gone up on ebay today - big prices though.

at those prices..he can keep them:(

rare palace card - NEEDHAM - has appeared on ebay
 

The wait is over..may the best person win..

one of the rarest palace trading cards have been spotted on ebay.


promineat footballers 07/08

NEEDHAM

at the moment,one of our beloved bbs members is the highest bidder,but that could change in the next few days:rolleyes: (as i need a spare one)

happy bidding all...

link--needham card

a message to any mods(neiltheeagle),as i'm not the person selling the card,all i'm doing is letting others out there know about this rare palace item,

Although I put a bid in, realistically, I know I have absolutely no hope of getting the card.

I don't think I've won an auction for a Palace card that I really wanted on ebay in over a year. Bids have been going crazy, I got seriously stung for one item whilst bidding drunk and my lesson has been learnt.

Now I'm even losing out on small recent card collections, I've been bidding on simply to top up my trading 'stock'.

Very disillusioned with the whole thing at the moment, I'm finding greater reward in doing deals with other collectors at the moment.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
:D
:hi:

Got it!

Have to say, John, seeing as I only said on the previous page that Needham was the one card I need to complete my set, I don't quite understand why you would flag it up to all the Palace card collectors via this forum, especially as you say you wanted it yourself as a swap

Still whatever the motive, completed the set now, so you have one less collector to compete with next time a card from this series appears

congrats mate:p

thanks:p

i'm dammed if i do..dammed if i don't..

it's great to hear from other card collectors( like myself) when rare cards appear on ebay....but...the downside of things.it push's the price up :bash: ,
think in future,i'll keep quiet;)

Well done, Dorking.

It all worked out in the end. My own Taddy collection is now one better off as a result of this too. You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

Very good price, considering what you thought you might end up paying. Bet the missus is happy/relieved too!

It's fantastic to know that a complete set of Taddy 1908's exists in the hands of one Palace collector.

I know various people have a few of the extremely rare 1913 palace Taddy's, but don't know of anyone with a complete set. Would be good to try and get as many of these scanned as poss.

1913 taddys - extremely rare!

Indeed. From speaking to other collectors, I've still yet to come across anyone who has a specimen of the following: Collyer (1913), Davies, Hanger, Hughes, Hunt, Rhodes, Spottiswood.

And I've yet to ask whether the collectors who do possess the others if they would agree to have them scanned.

I've got Hewitt and an appalling specimen of Bright. I reckon some child played all sorts of playground games with it during WW1

BBD scanned most of my early ones onto the eagles100 website

dam just missed out on a card on ebay
went for £5.52

Legible Ltd Fam Footballers 1960 DEAKIN CRYSTAL PALACE

Never seen that one before John

(and it wasn't me - I never even saw it!)

Legible aren't true cards as such, though. They are the photo pages pulled out from the annual publication of the time called Soccer Diary.

I've amassed quite a few of these down the years. There are quite nice, but wouldn't pay too much for them. One of these days, I'm going to reorganise the spreadsheet into categories which better reflect this.

There's a Johnny Byrne one on there now.

New card series either out now or coming very soon

(full page advert in Burnley programme)

Panini 2007 Championship Trading Card game

288 in series, therefore 12 for each of the 24 Championship clubs

(there's also 4 checklists)

collectors binder also available

endorsed by the Coca Cola FLC

with any luck some enterprising person will buy boxes of these cards, put together complete team sets and flog them en ebay, without me having to buy a single packet to get every Palace card.

Takes the romance out of collecting them the traditional way, but I've got no desire to buy packet after packet of Southend or Barnsley players

good work

Could have got some for free yesterday..

http://www.burnleyfootballclub.premi...990329,00.html

but didn't see the details until it was too late

Probably some kid that picked up dozens of packets for free yesterday and is selling them off on ebay

just emailed him to see if he has any palace ones

right , palace players are
73 scott flinders
74 danny butterfield
75 leon cort
76 darren ward
77 danny granville
78 ben watson
79 jobi mcanuff
80 carl fletcher
81 micheal hughes
82 james scowcroft
83 clinton morrison
84 dougie freedman

dougie freedman is the featured card in the front of the book , the book has clear wallets to place the cards in and not numbered like an sticker album.
will post pictures when i have finished opening the box of cards i have just got

Blimey, you don't hang around!
good work fella!

http://esnips.com/doc/5edb8727-8c4a-...d/championship

have doubles of
fletcher,ward,granville and scowcroft looking for
flinders, , morrison and watson

Oooh, thet're nice. Like the Leon Cort one.

grumble time , their are 288 players cards , 4 checklist cards and a how to play card . only spaces for 288 cards in the folder !!!!!!

Back briefly to Taddy.

Just shows you my e-bay luck at the moment. Bidding on two cards, one I needed and one I thought might come in handy for a swop. Bid very high on the one I needed, didn't get near it. Bid under the 'market' value for the 'swop' and won it.

The search goes on... and at least I have another swop in the 'armoury' now.

John1509 needs a 1908 Taddy's "Woodger". good luck in getting a swap though.

I offered him a Woodger for his Needham a while back but he wasn't looking to part with his Needham.

I think it's a good idea to have some spares, you never know when they will come in handy

too true:) ..if i had a swop of needham.i'd have swoped it for one that i needed.

went to croydon this morning,,can't find the panini 07 championship stuff anywhere,even wh smiths:bash:

Fair play John, if you ever come across a swop of Needham and/or Lewis, then I'm your man. I have two that you need.

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to go down the delaer route for my Panini's. Much as I love collecting them, I just don't have the cash to spare right now.

stop bidding on that card on a certain "bidding" site then:D

have spares of fletcher,scowcroft,cort x 2 ,granville and ward .

Believe me, that's small change compared to what the world cup collection cost me to complete!

I never did bother touching the World Cup stuff. I'm guessing Popovic featured in a few different series - anyone got the details to hand?

Panini & Merlin were the only UK ones that Poppa featured in. He featured prominently in several oz collections I'm led to believe, inclusing a set of playing cards.

thanks
I've not subscribed to David Schollicks catalogues for a few issues, and will probably wait till I've got a few new card/sticker issues to catch up with
I got fed up with it when there were loads of modern "1950's" palace cards coming out almost monthly

found a small web-site that sells palace bits/bobs.not much really for the hardcore collectors thou..
http://www.footybits.co.uk/index.php...f701b4933a45f7

He is in the Shoot Out set from our recent season in the Premiership.

Is that Merlin/Pannini?
Also, to anyone in the know, how much do people pay for this sort of thing?

Neither. Magic Box, a Spanish company, if I remember rightly. You could pick up that card for around 10p from a dealer, so you won't make a fortune on it.

I think DE was asking about World Cup issues featuring Poppa, the numbers are 349: Merlin's England 2006 collection, and 422 for Panini 2006 World Cup, btw.

I must get around to updating the list soon.

he may also have been featured in a pocket sized panini 2006 world cup album not sold in the uk

still can't find the panini 07 championship cards around here:bash:

I checked at the time, he didn't. There was only 10 Oz players in that set.

Bugger.

Woolies have piles of them in Dorking, which is mad, because there are no Championship teams round here, and most locals "support"* Chelsea or Arsenal

*down my local pub usually

Still no-one on ebay selling complete team sets

found the card folder today..but as neil said earlier.it'll cost far to much to buy up boxes of the cards just to get the palace ones..give it time,sure someone will have full team sets on ebay

collect the set then

silly me..forgot to plant a couple of money tree's to pay for the cards :D

collected the 90's pro-set cards(two-three seasons),it'll be cheaper to wait for them to appear on ebay or boot-sales

indeed John

cost me £25 to collect the set

the heavens have opened..panini 07 cards all over the ebay:lux:

anyone wanting the 12 palace cards from the panini 07 collection.
they can now be brought on line at panini 12p each,
But you have to join there club,which only takes a couple mins to fill in.

min order is £2.40 ,so you have to add another 8 cards to make up the total cost .
panini.co.uk

I know which one I'll be doing - cheers John (and I can order the popovic one I need from the World cup set)!

If you still want to buy some John, the newsagents at the bottom of Holmesdale road (on Clifton road) has them, plus the binder in stock.

Cheers for the heads up John!

You won't want to know then that you can buy the World Cup set complete from Panini for £28.99 :(

Panini Championship Trading card game
 

It's Real Football for Real Fans, so if you support a Championship team, you'll be pleased to hear that Panini are launching a brand new trading card game, in support of the 24 clubs that have 'Everything To Play For'.

With Panini's first ever Championship trading card game, you can collect, swap and win your favourite player cards. There are 12 high profile players from each of the 24 clubs featured within the collection, including one goalkeeper, four defenders, four midfielders and three forwards.

Each trading card contains statistical information, as well as player ratings and scores, so as your collection grows you can pick your own dream team and formation like a real manager and play the cards against your friends.

In total, there are 288 full action cards in the collection, four checklist cards and a game rules card. There's also a binder, with 16 special plastic sleeves to store and protect your cards. The binder can also be used to enhance game play by using the playing field game board on cover section.

The collection was launched at the start of this month, with binders priced at £2.99 and trading card packets (containing six trading cards each) at 35p.

So, keep a lookout for them and get your trading hat on for the Championship cards!

Kooshty will be getting some

Yeah, but that's no fun... I love collecting them. I just can't afford it at the moment

your just one big kid:D














just like the rest of us

A heads-up to all Palace Card collectors.

The Palace Echo card collection series 2 is being given away free with the next Echo due on 14th April. 12 cards this time: 4x3 sets. Either set 1 or 2 will be included in with the next Palace Echo, you can order the one you don't get, but only existing subscribers will get the limited edition set 3.

So pretty much the only way to get the rare 'set 3' is to pre-order issue 78 via the website.

must pull my finger out and the collection series 1

congrats on getting that
W C DAVIES CRYSTAL PALACE TADDY Cigarette Card

dorking.

was thinking about bidding for it myself.but the price is out of my league:bash:

Yes congrats, Dave, nice looking card... even though you didn't think either of us would win it ;)

I fear my own 'price limit' for Taddys is too well known now, but that's all I can afford at the moment, so I'm a bit buggered really.

1908 R J Roberts has just made an appearance btw John... at a low starting price. Someone might just get a bargain here, as most of the collectors I know have this card.

I'm hoping to get scans of 13 out 16 of the 1913 Taddy's, for the database, through soon.

i'll keep an eye on that one:)

16 1913 Taddy's? AFAIK there are only 15

Thanks for telling the world John

remind me to change my ebay username sometime soon.

BTW, congrats on buying four fifty pence pieces for £2.49.

To be fair to John though mate, the game was up as far as your username is concerned, after the Needham episode.

Fair do's - was a bit tongue in cheek to be honest - mine's hardly a cryptic username!

It just feels a bit like everyone's "looking into the contents of my shopping trolley" sometimes, when I get people talk to me about how much I bought a Palace badge or fag card for!

it didn't take a degree in rocket science to work out it was you:) i'm sure anyone who post's on memory lane had already know before hand,

i'm sure fellow bbs members wouldn't bid against you just to make you pay more for palace card's etc,


re-BTW, congrats on buying four fifty pence pieces for £2.49.

two of these 50p's were the soldier issues from last year,which will go up in price ,as these are only issued for 12 months.

last year,i sold a 50p from a couple years back for a large profit:p

i'm surprised you didn't out bid me on the 1969 palace team group card from holland

I agree, I'm sure nobody would bid against me just to make me pay more for palace cards etc.

I just think it a little OTT to start discussing what someone else has bought on ebay and how much they paid for it, especially when I never brought up about that particular card in the first place.

My comment on your 50p collection was merely to illustrate the point (each to their own) - what you buy on ebay and how much you spend is your business and surely not for anyone else to comment on.

I couldn't really be bothered getting into a bidding war for the team group card from Holland - I entered the maximum I was prepared to pay, and was outbid - I'm not too fussed about it to be honest - I'm sure there are plenty of other gaps in my "modern cards" collection, and I'm in no great rush to fill them.

Well done in getting it though:p :p :p

.

dorking..sorry if i offended you about the congrats on the card,i didn't comment on how much you paid for it.
I didn't comment about the card when the bidding was still open,as i know i slipped up last time talking about it:bash:

anyway.goodluck in future card bidding:p enough said about cards from me:)



I can do you a good deal on comic relief red noses:D

its very easy to have multiple ebay accounts

no worries John, sorry if I was getting a bit touchy. Been getting it in the neck recently from the other half about the extent my tat-collecting what with the wedding looming large.

not your fault for trying to be friendly, just keep getting people want to discuss what I've bought recently, which makes me wonder why people are really that interested in what other people are up to. All a bit too wierd for me really. I can barely keep up with the auctions I'm interested in, let alone other people's

is there a market for old red noses??? (mind you with ebay, I reckon you can find someone who collects just about anything!)

if my miss's knew what i spent over the past 2-3 year's on palace stuff on ebay.i'd be saying ouch!!,
and as for the red noses..you can see by my feedback,on the amount sold over the past few weeks.. :lux: roll on two years time for the next comic relief:p

Got these through today, it's a lovely collection :lux: :lux:

Still looking for scans of Hunt & York, if anyone can help?

(16 was a typo, there are of course 15, DE)

From the ancient past to the present...
