I've got quit a few from the 90's...got a few from recent years with my boy collecting a few.
I was a collector when younger but not anymore - I'm just holding onto what I've got.
Think I've got a few nice signed ones, should get them out take some pics and post them here. When I have a moment too..

Had very few hobbies as a kid, but one of them was collecting the footy cards and the stickers. Still have the sticker books from the 90s - I got lucky in 1996 and actually won the full set of stickers and pop up cards.

I have a full (I think) set from the 90s. Have to look at them again, they might be signed too. Haven't looked at them since I was a kid.

Threw all mine out. Robbo was collecting them in the 60s. Scanlan cards. When you had the entire collection you could turn them over and reveal the big picture.

Yep, when reversing the cards they were jigsaw puzzles to reveal pictures of the previous year's grand final.

In the early 1990's a work colleague also decided to get rid of some and gave me the full sets of the 1972 & '73 Scanlen cards that reveal pictures of the '71 and '72 grand finals.
