This is cheaper than grading it. A bargain for someone to hold.

Only 10 silver have been PSA graded, with only 1 at PSA 10. The base card has been graded 189 times with 68 gems.

Superb for a Bale and Real Madrid collector.

This is the much rarer Scottish series with the “Aberdeen” back.

Although dealers often date it to 1928, the presence of Danny Shea, whose only season at Coventry City was in 1923-24, more accurately places it in 1923.

The cards are small, around 55mm by 37mm, printed in black and white with…

Rather than printed cards, the figures were given away as sheets of nine inside consecutive weekly issues across the spring of that year, with collectors cutting the individual players from the sheets, which is why surviving examples are…

The cards weren’t a product in themselves: in exchange for collecting them you could claim footballs and jerseys, making this an advertising-and-premium scheme rather than a tobacco or confectionery insert.…

Pluck was a weekly boys’ story paper from the Amalgamated Press, the Harmsworth house that led the market in popular boys’ periodicals from the 1890s onwards. Like several rivals, it lifted sales in the early 1920s by giving away collectable cards, and the 1922–23 Famous Football Teams series was one such promotion: twenty-seven cards, one club…

These comprise 63 association football clubs, 26 Rugby League clubs and county sides, and a generic Goalkeeper design.

Two sizes were issued, with the large measuring 150mm x 100mm…

On sale at eBay for £70 + postage. Not bad.

This is the medium ‘LF’ size and very hard to find.

The eBay auction is ending soon, no bids made with a starting price of almost £2k.

This time with the addition of the Penney and Torpey dual.

In 2013, Topps began for the first time producing numbered cards. Not all players are represented in these sets, but Leon Britton never appeared once. A huge shame we only have Match Attax and stickers for him.

I don’t mind this is a Arsenal era card, surely that’s a Swansea kit!

It’s old and believed to be from 1933. This is the season after Dai Lewis won his only two welsh caps.

A very rare card.

The 2016 Panini Prizm UEFA Euro White Prizm of Ashley Williams is an exceptionally scarce, non-numbered parallel.

White Prizms fell at roughly one per 288 packs, or one per 12-box hobby case.

Based on the set’s serial-numbered parallels, an estimated 3,132 cases were produced, suggesting around…

Do those prices make any sense?

The Stadium Club set had five variations. the base, gold foil, logo, members only and first day issue.

A very nice card at a reasonable price for someone, it would no doubt have been much more if Wales had qualified.

I’m not sure I will ever see one, let alone buy one…

The 1920-22 Godfrey Phillips Swansea Town ‘Pinnace’ team card.

It has a corner issue, so never going to grade a 10.

Auction ends Wednesday, going to sell big…

I see many of the base auto popping up for sale, first time i’ve noticed the /20.

A great addition to the PC.

I think this is a must for any modern Wales or Gareth Bale collector.

This was bought bt someone for $75, seems decent.

The 1957 Barratt A5 Famous Footballers is the earliest I can find. Medwin left Swansea in 1956.

Any known Swansea or Wales cards before 1957?

On sale on eBay for about £85.

This is /15 and from a 1999 testimonial set for John Charles.

I belive there are three variations of the /15 signature card. The difference being the foil colour.

There are gold, silver and bronze, this is the silver. This isnt so noticeable in the picture, but its a lovely bright…

The patch as a Swansea fan is out of this world. Sad it wasn’t me, but you can’t buy everything!

I bid and lost out on this one, you can’t win them all. In fact best not to try, stick to your budget for each card.

It’s to /400 so paying more than £12 wasn’t an option for me. It will come again…

This was recently bought on eBay for about £238.

The card is a base /10. The red is /5, now that would be a PC card!

What’s the price of the /10?

The auction ends Monday night, and it is currently at about £30.

When John Toshack became manager of Swansea, he brought many of his ageing teammates along for the ride.

One player who was strongly rumoured to be arriving was Jimmy Case; Waddington’s Top Trumps even issued a card for him at Swansea, only for him to join…

At auction on CardHobby, another 6 days to go…

The 2022-23 Panini Select FIFA is also his Wales rookie. PSA 10 pop count at 3.

You need one big piggy bank for this card, but it is a beaut.

Four 2013 Topps Premier Gold cards to /11. A decent price at £120.

What a player he was…

Both in great condition, Mel Charles looks really young here.

Starting bids with delivery at £160. There are some BIN’s that start at £330.

Another to add to my premier league era cards.

The card is from his second spell at the club, and the season when Wrexham beat Arsenal (1991-92).

For that sort of money, I’d expect a /10 to end up selling for less than half of that. Am I missing something with this one?
