This card gave us a [Catter] mole, the tiny little chap who is regarded, often, as a pest, for tunnelling and making a mess on the lawn with piles of soil. However, they are useful too, their tunnelling ensures that beneath the lawn is well aerated, and that improves drainage, whilst they also consume a vast quantity of insects, including snails, slugs, ants, termites, and the larva of many beetles - in fact they eat more than their own body weight every day,
This set is not so bad as many of the others size-wise, perhaps because it only concentrates on the English Premier League. That means the base set is only of a hundred and fifty cards, though there are parallel cards for the last few, green instead of rainbow foil cards. I am always surprised that the rainbow is the base set and just green is the supposedly more exciting parallel.
As far as extra cards, there are only two sorts.
The first, of which there is also the relatively few number of thirty-three available, are what are often known as "costume cards" or "pieceworks", where an item of clothing, in this case a football shirt, worn by the featured star has been cut into small pieces and one inserted on each card. These are numbered from 1 to 350 though, by which you can gauge how small the pieces are. And some are just plain, the most prized are the ones with part of the number, or name
The second are player signatures, only twenty five different ones of these. They were inserted in the boxes, so if you bought a sealed box of fifty packs you were guaranteed to get an autograph, though it would be unlikely to be your favourite. These cards vary though, as some stars signed over a hundred cards, whilst others signed less than ten. You can tell that on the card as the first number is the number of the card and the second is the number they signed.
