Info on 1968 Scanlens cards

[RLMatt]

Hey guys,
As the title says I'm after some information on the 1968 Scanlens cards. What I'd like to know is:
1. How much did the packs cost (for both Series 1 and 2)?
2. How many cards were in the packs (again for both series 1 and 2)?
3. Did the club logo cards come in the pack? I heard that they were given out at games but I can't confirm it.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

From very distant memory I think there were four cards per pack but not one hundred percent sure. The club logo cards were definitely included in the packs.

Thanks. I thought there would be less than 5 in a pack considering there was only 40 cards to collect.

This 1968A (Series 1) wrapper should answer one question! Note the year assignment in Dan's Big Green book is incorrect based on the number of cards (44) to collect. 1969 packs were 5c and I would guess 1970 as well as, from my own distant memory, I think 1974 packs were still 5c. Pretty sure 1975 were 10c and 1976 were 20c.

Regards
Mike

That looks like an afl wrapper or were they the same for both codes?

I can remember the 1979 and 1980 packets had 7 cards in them and they were 10 cents each.

I thought the price rise to 20c happened earlier than that but I could definitely be wrong!

the first set i collected was 1977 & they were 15c a pack. pretty sure 1968 were 5c each. wish they were still that price!
on another topic, i'm heading down to Merimbula soon, any shops that sell cards or people on here from that area with cards to sell?(nrl/afl/cricket).

cheers, Gavin.
