Anyone collect/have any NFLE - NFL Europe team sets?

I’m interested in buying/trading for any NFL Europe team sets. I’d also be happy with checklists of team sets so i’d at least know who was in each set. These are tough to come by and aren’t listed on the Beckett site.

Not sure what you are looking for but I have some ace fact packs of us football teams issued in uk. Sets of 33 I believe. Is that what you are looking for ? If not could you explain further

I’m talking about the league the NFL sponsored in Europe from the early 1990s through 2010 (sometime around then). This was an american football league with teams in London, Barcelona, Scotland and throughout Germany. Many NFL players were sent there by the NFL teams which held their rights.
Each of these Teams reportedly issued team sets of cards each year that were only available in Europe. I have acquired some from eBay in the past but they rarely are listed.

Thanks for clarifying. If you have some already can you confirm the manufacturer or are they anonymous ? Presume standard sports card size ?

I don't believe I have any of these but I will try and find some for you...I think the London team was maybe the London Monarchs...give me an idea of what to pay. I will be at various club shows in the UK so it would be good to have an inkling of what to pay.it is the UK National in April and hopefully there will be something there

That would be fantastic if you could do that.

I have a handful of sets and/or singles and honestly, there's not a lot of consistency from one set to the next. Most of the Frankfurt Galaxy cards I have are standard size like the Eric Guenther card in this photo, then there are other cards, like the Frankfurt Galaxy Dorian Brew card and the Rhein Fire card of Kevin Breedlove, which are oversized. And then there's the Hamburg Sea Devils Tim Sandidge card which is undersized. So no consistency between the teams nor even with the same team as far as size.
As far as manufacturer, I don't believe I can even locate one on any card. And from team to team and year to year the sponsors seem to change as well.
Those cards represent the teams I've found cards for and I'm also aware of cards for the Berlin Thunder and Scottish Claymores. I've been told every team produced cards but these are the only teams i've ever found. Surely there are more out there.

Price, that's a tough call. There are some sets on eBay.de (German eBay) that seem to be priced incredibly high ($200-$350 a set which may include around 40 cards) but I've found the same sets on US eBay for $85-$120. I'd say $2- $5 a card would be typical for singles.

I can forward you more info or my specific wants in a message if that's cool with you.

Ugh! photos not uploading. I'll try uploading them later.
