1958 Alifabolaget Checklist?

[Anish]

Hi,

Anyone have a checklist for this set? Haven't been able to find one.

Apparently there are over 600 cards, but I've only seen ones numbered in the 600's.

Thanks!

Some Swedish dude who grew up collecting these cards in the 1950s wrote a book on them. I found this book online about a year ago and read it. It was PDF format. I used the Google translate tool because it was written in Swedish. I do remember that he took a picture of every single card. Try to see if you can find it online.

Also, are there other non-World Cup players or teams in the set?

Thanks for the info. What about #1 - 614? Which players/league did those cards cover?

Not sure exactly. The only other one I have seen is #160 Curt Hamrin from AIK, but that one is dated 1953. Since the design is the same, it’s possible that they continuously numered the cards over several years.

I believe there are non-athletes featured as well.
