1974 Williams Fotboll VM '74 — John Charles #148 — Super Stars
1974
This 1974 Scandinavian card looks back to John Charles as a football ‘Super Star’, showing how far his reputation travelled beyond Britain and Italy. The damaged reverse also tells its own collecting history: this copy was once mounted in an album, so the object carries evidence of how it was actually used rather than surviving as an untouched commodity.

Why this object matters
The Scandinavian retrospective Charles card documents his international visual afterlife. Album-removal damage limits surviving reverse information, while its collecting-use evidence and regional context retain strong significance.
