1972/73 A&BC Footballer — Billy Bremner #39 — Leeds United — Orange/Red Back
1972/73
The reverse gives this Bremner card an extra layer of period play: an interactive rub-coin panel rather than a purely descriptive back. That small gimmick places the object squarely in the tactile world of 1970s children’s collecting, while the football text connects it to Leeds’ Fairs Cup era.

Why this object matters
The rub-coin panel adds direct evidence of interactive children's collecting to the playing-era Bremner image. The score recognises the physical design and use mechanism, not an invented scarcity or unused-panel claim.
Evidence limits: No new physical inspection or collation was performed. Copy-specific conclusions remain limited to the retained catalogue and accession evidence.
