Original Sigma Card Paul Mariner Ipswich Town Mint Condition

Sigma card number 44 of Paul Mariner at Ipswich Town FC.

The cards were explicitly designed to be stuck into The Supporters Football Form Book and Diary, 1979-80 edition, meaning a high percentage of surviving copies suffer from glue damage, paper residue on the reverse, or creasing from being handled and mounted.  They are not easy to pick up in original mint form.

Produced by Sigma Sport Silhouettes in Bridgnorth, Salop and printed by Prescott-Pickup & Co. Ltd., the company vanished after this release, leaving no known warehouse finds or archived distribution records. 

These portrait cards were drawn by Barrie Cutler with text from Keith Parsons.  There were 60 cards in the series.
