Card of the Day - 2025-04-12

Clevedon Intl Sporting Stars
CLEVEDON Confectionery (Blackpool) Ltd. [trade : confectionery : UK - Blackpool, Lancashire] "international Sporting Stars" (1961) 30/50 - CLE-240 : CLZ-17

This card was chosen because Mr. Puskas was born on April the first, 1927, and he also started to manage the Hungarian national football team on April the ninth, 1993.

Sadly we do not know which month this set was issued, but if you do we would love to know. And if anyone has a more visible back, a scan would be very much appreciated...

We have a home page, or will do asap, for this issuer, with our Card of the Day for the 5th of March, 2022 - at the moment it is a bit vacant but watch that space because over the weekend I plan to sit in the garden and tap it all in. 

Our set does not have much of a description in our original British Trade Index part two, only : 

INTERNATIONAL SPORTING STARS. Sm. 58 x 33 Nd. (50) ... CLZ-17

And it is not one of the sets added to in later volumes.

As for our updated British Trade Index, the description is only slightly altered, to read : 

INTERNATIONAL SPORTING STARS. 1961. 58 x 33 Nd. (50) ... CLE-240
