Another one-off error for a collector of the unusual - Football Legends 1996.

When Royal Mail issued the Euro 96 set of five stamps in 1996 they came with all the usual associated products - presentation pack, PHQ cards etc.


But there was an extra product, a souvenir postcard book entitled Football Legends.  The normal book is widely available from dealers and on eBay. 


This contained not only the PHQ cards, bound in, but also photocards of oher legends of the game - Billy Meredith, Joe Mercer, Frank Swift, Alex James, and Pete Doherty.   These were all monochrome so no room for error.  But the PHQ-type cards have black borders and colour for the queen's head, as the stamps.  The book I'm offering has a startling mis-print.

Just one available and yours for £7.50 plus Large Letter postage £1.50 inland - payment by bank transfer on cheque.   (International postage will be at discounted rate.)
