just waiting for the stickers to online, as of this afternoon, not yet

it will be a while i think

i'm in no hurry

did you manage to get hold of a ben watson photo from this season from the club ?

nope, totally forgot, also after kuqi

just done three orders:p (different emails)

can't belive that they charge £1 postage now:eek: it use to be free

Finally got round to ordering all the new Palace Panini ones. When they came, one was missing, but was able to go back to the online order, tick the one that was missing and it was sent about a week later, no quibble at all.

Onto my favourite set - Taddy's, anyone notice a rare 1913 Palace Taddy card appear on ebay recently?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TEN-TADDY-PROM...1%7C240%3A1318

Unfortunately the card was the only Palace one in a lot of 10 cards and went for nearly £250. Didn't get a sniff what with the house move and baby D.E. on the way.

Although that is actually a very good price per card for that set, especially as it included 4 Chelsea players.

The seller was just selling what he'd inherited - shame he didn't spilt up the lot and sell them in smaller quantities - I reckon overall he'd have come away with a bigger overall return

Well done if anyone on here got it.

I was away when this went on, can you remember which card was it, Dave?

Hi Neil,
I think from memory it was Whibley but I could be wrong. I think I had a sensible snipe set up but it didn't even make dent. If it had been a better time for me, I might have paid that for all 10, then taken my chances that I'd have got a good price reselling the other 9.

In the end I moved house on 3rd April but it was absolute chaos for a couple of weeks before and after trying to get everything packed and unpacked - as you can imaging, I've got a lot of 'stuff'! To be honest at the moment I'm busier and have less spare time than during the season what with all the DIY and general jobs around the house trying to get everything in a live-able and decent condition ready for the baby. Tonight was grouting kitchen tiles for a couple of hours! And work seems to be getting more and more at the moment what with trying to keep in a job.

Anyway, moaning aside, I've got a lovely set of shelves now for my Palace books, cards and badge folders, so there is a good side to it!

Looking forward to another quiet mid-table season to be honest, where I won't be too upset that I can't get to all the games by quite some distance! As long as we don't 'do a Charlton', I don't really mind!

Should be another Panini set next season I'd say, especially with the added BBC coverage of the Champo!

Hopefully so.

I've had an up and down few months on the card front.

The highpoint was undoubtably scoring a couple of 1913 Taddy's (Smith & Whibley) in excellent condition. My first two of this series after several near misses :)

Sadly, although I have an option to buy four more from the same source, these are well out of my price range. :(

Tried to sell a couple of 1908 Taddy's to help pay for the 1913 cards I acquired. One didn't sell at all and the other went for £9.99. The bottom seems to have fallen out of the 1908 Taddy market on ebay and in dealer catalogues - I've seen some listed for as low as £20. Oh well. :(

On the bright side, I've just been given, by a very generous occassional BBS'r, a job lot of swops of cards from down the ages - whilst I didn't need any myself it's nice to have additional trading armoury. :)

So if anyone has any card 'wants' let me know and I'll have a trawl thorugh and see if I can help.

:D :D :hi: :lux: :lux: :lux:

I had the 69-70 season sticker set (can't remember who produced it) I sold it to a mate in about 1974 to buy "Yessongs"............ what was I thinking ??

:sob:

There were two 'big' sets that season: issued by AB&C Bubblegum and FKS respectively. Both are still very common, so you could replace them quite easily and cheaply.

PM me for further details, if you are interested.

Up at the Scunny club shop they were selling the brand new
"Panini Championship 2010" Sticker album and stickers

Didn't get any, but will prob order all the Palace ones online when that opens.

If anyone does start colecting these, please can they post up all the Palace sticker numbers - ta

Got my Championship sticker album

Good news is that whilst most player stickers are 'half size' ie 2 to a sticker, they haven't put two different teams players on a sticker

The relevant numbers are as follows

78 Crest
79 Home Kit
80 Away kit
81a Speroni/Clyne
82a Clint Hill/McCarthy
83a Fonte/Butterfield
84a Derry/Ambrose
85 Speroni
86 Ambrose
87 Moses
88 Sears
89a Danns/Carle
90a Moses/N'Diaye
91a John/Scannell
92a Sears/Lee
98 John

You can order them already at panini.co.uk

Crumbs it's quiet on this thread!

Filled a rare gap in my ciggie card collection today via ebay

Pattreiouex Famous Footballers 1922

Have had "Pattreiouex Palace" on my ebay watch list for a few years now, and finally it appeared!

The Palace player in question is Palace and England goalie Jack Alderson

Suprisingly the only two bidders were Palace card collectors, I say suprising because the card is a picture from Palace v Man Utd game so I had thought their collectors might have been after it

Have got these now, still got quite a few Taddy (1913/14) Palace Prominent Footballers to get though. :lux:

I have not read the whole thread so apologies if this one is already mentioned.

I have this card which is photo quality, apparently of the 1923 team. I cant recall where it came from...

An occasional bump for one of my favourite threads, primarily to show off my latest additions. They are from J A Pattroueix/Casket Cigarettes series.

Big up to my partner-in-crime on this thread, DorkingEagle, who alerted me to the F173 on ebay, which I secured for £27 - you will see he got the same card himself back in March last year.

Further enquiries with the seller eventually directed me to a very battered copy of F167, which I managed to get for a similar price. It actually features Man Utd players, but is of interest to Palace collectors as its taken at the same match as F173 and has a Palace player (I'm thinking George Whitworth) clearly in shot.

Hi Neil (don't think anyone else reads this thread!)

Thanks for the bump! Glad you got F173, I haven't got a clue if £27 is a bargain or not to be honest because it's years and years since I last bought a Murrays Catalogue (THE standard price guide reference book for cards)

Looking at the book "Half Time (Football and the Cigarette Card 1890-1940)", F167 and F173 are the only two Palace cards in that series (191 in the numbered series)

F167 is listed as "Manchester United v Crystal Palace", and F173 is listed as Alderson (C.Palace) & Spence (Man Utd)

I've never seen F167 before, so well done there. Nice to see it (I'm printing off your scan and sticking that in my album until I get it one day!)

It's hard to keep an eye on the ball cards-wise when there aren't many left to collect - the ones that really have frustrated me more than any are a Casket team card F228 - again by Patreiouex and from 1922 - it came up on ebay years ago and went for close to a hundred quid I seem to remember.

Oh and a colour postcard of the Nest, less than a year ago - over £300 - outbid by a foreign football grounds postcard collector - I could have bid a grand and I still reckon he'd have outbid me on it looking at his ebay bid history!
