Background

The 1958 set is A&BC's first set dedicated to footballers. The cards were released in two series.

- Series 1: 1 to 46

- Series 2: 47 to 92.

There appears to be no checklist card included with this set.

Among the Series 1 cards there is a variation between the cards that include the Planet offer on top and those that did not include the offer. The 'Planet' cards have black and red backs, while the non-Planet cards have blue and red backs. Cards without the offer were also slightly smaller in size.

All of the cards in Series 2 are meant to have the Planet offer on the top although some did cut the top off.

The most notable card from this set is the Bobby Charlton rookie card but other sought after cards include the Bobby Robson rookie and the Stanley Matthews.
