CATALOGUE
OF FOOTBALL CARDS.
Beat
low interest rates by investing in football memorabilia instead.
There
are basically two ways to order from us.
1) You can
post a cheque with your typed or hand-written order in the old-fashioned way.
2) You can
carefully email your order and pay by PayPal (Further details below). This is
quicker and saves you postage. It is the best way for overseas customers to
pay. Registering for Paypal is fairly simple. You just need a bank account.
REFERENCE
NUMBERS. It helps us if you quote the REF numbers. P1
etc stands for postcards, FS1 etc stands for full sets, M1 for Miscellaneous,
VL1 for very large cards. Numbers without pre-fixed letters mean the item is
normal cigarette or trade card size. You don't have to write the year, issuer,
or series title if you state the REF number.
The catalogue is regularly updated so there is no need to e-mail to
check availability.
PAYMENT
Is
accepted by cheques (payable to P.Clarkson), PayPal, postal orders, banknotes,
unused postage stamps of £1 or less per stamp & credit notes. Blank(or ‘open’ cheques) are welcome. To avoid
giving change, you can fill in all details except the amount, writing 'Not to
exceed £xxx' in a prominent place. We then fill in the exact amount & notify
you of the total with your order.

accept payment in GB pounds sterling.

address and write your order out clearly. Refer to our order form to give you a
rough idea how to set it out. If you

not allowed. We operate a first come-first served postal system which we think
is fairer to all. You can of course phone queries etc (but not orders) on 01652
656389 from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. any day.
INDIVIDUAL
CARD NUMBERS.
Du to lack of space, we generally only put numbers to higher value trade cards.
You can always ask for us to provide some numbers if this creates problems.
With regards to cigarette cards, we do not number these because they are
already listed in the excellent reference work Half-Time which we stock at the
reduced price of £8. This book is pretty much the bible for football cigarette
card collectors.
E-MAIL
matchdaycards@hotmail.com Type 'Football' or 'Cards' in subject box so we know
it's not junk mail.
WE
NO LONGER PURCHASE CARD COLLECTIONS.
