These sheets of four cards are more often than not found cut down to ‘singles’ these days and are priced accordingly. Finding a complete block of four can be quite a challenge and equally as expensive. The first thirteen sheets were all footballers; the remaining three sheets featured boxers, cricketers and athletes (pictures of whom I have not included here).
