I have not been able to obtain cards from two from this list. Maybe they exist, I've just not seen them.

[Copa7]

Picked up two for my Rangers collection

May I add two rather obscure names?

Adolf Jager... said to have scored more than 2,000 in Amateur German competitions and played in the Olympics

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_J%C3%A4ger

Mosa Marjanovic - easily surpased 500 and I believe was the leading goal scorer at the international level for Yugoslavia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blagoje_Marjanovi%C4%87

I will see if I can post some a card of these two guys at some point this week.

What do you think?

The Casanova series is another that span over several years so the issues are always under debate.

As for the SCG card, it's sort of stupid to generically label as an unknown Yugoslavian issue and then stamping it authentic on the same slab. They should just admit they don't know.

Both are excellent additions to your collection. Well done.

Yes, It is a bit of a question and maybe there were other years. Since Jager's final year was 1927, 1926 would not be too far off. I have some boxing cards and they are equally amazing. I just love this issue.

I think that the Yugoslavian issue thing is fine. I have spent years looking for data on the albums of war torn former Yugoslavia without much success but frequently it is possible to tie down a year based on other cards on an issue, so if you know the year and you know the country, I am fine with "Yugoslavian Issue"... does not bother me at all.

When you say you haven't been able to obtain two cards of players on the list, is it because you have been outbid, you have never seen them for sale, or they don't exist.

I would love to see a list of earliest known card(s) for this list of players. It might make a worthwhile thread of its own. Anyone have the start of the list that they want to put forward?

[aljurgela]

With their earliest cards... Will try and do that today.

[Copa7]

If any one has cards of Artur Freidenriech or Fernando Peyroteo, I'd like to see them.

I know Peyroteo is on a modern postage stamp.

[Copa7]

Added another Dino Zoff to my keeper collection. A vital player in Italy's 1968 European Nations Championship.

Meanwhile, the NASL all-time goal scorer - Giorgio Chinaglia before joining the New York Cosmos (two versions, including the Valida)

[esehombre]

Dont see this one for sale very often and when you do they are expensive--Can anyone pinpoint the date of issue? I believe he has an earlier one as well.

I've been picking up some of the "Ausland" Konig Fussball cards recently. One of which is Peyroteo but his name has been butchered into Peirotea on the card. The picture is from his international debut on 24/4/38, a 1-1 draw with Germany in an exhibition match in Frankfurt.

That is really cool. I absolutely love this set! The colors are amazing and the history of it being released in Germany just before WWII is fascinating.

I have been working for a few years on a complete run of all backs for the Nasazzi, Dixie Dean, and Zamora cards from this set. There were 5 known back variations when I started the project. In July, there was the latest update on back variations and now there are at least 15 different back variations, meaning that I am very, very far behind in my collecting journey on this project:
https://cartophilic-info-exch.blogsp...-fussball.html

The day I read about all of the new-found back variations, I didn't know whether to shout with joy because it means I will have years of journey ahead of me or to cry because it means I have years of journey that will likely never be complete ahead of me


Anyway, cool set and great cards! And if anyone is selling/trading any Nasazzi, Dean, or Zamora cards from this set, let me know what backs they are and I might just be interested.

[Copa7]

Unfortunately, I do not believe this is a card of Poyetea in the 1938 Konig set.
It appears to be Carlos Pereira (FC Porto).

The search continues.... https://bibo-porto-carago.blogspot.c...ta-do.html?m=1
