12 cards (1 football)

Steve Flemming has provided details and a scan of this very rare football card. It was produced as a cigarette packet panel (unprinted on the inside) by the Western Australian firm Michelides Ltd. in late 1956/early 1957. The 'Sport Club' packaging series included 12 leading sporting subjects from Western Australia with 6 of them depicting Australian Rules players and another of them featuring Ron Adair – a well credentialed Western Australian 'soccer' player. The series is regarded as the only known post-WW2 Australian sporting issue done by a cigarette company and remains very sought after with only a handful of cards known to exist.
