This page looks at all the pieces
of Subbuteo marketing material that don't fit nicely into the range shown on the
previous two pages.
A big thank you goes to Norman Walker who provided some of the items shown here.
World Cup 1966 Leaflet.
A simple four sided leaflet, advertising the named teams produced for the 1966 World Cup. Inside, there is a colour picture advertising the full range of continental equipment of that time (C100-C112). A slightly different version of this picture was included in the 1969 catalogue (shown here on the right, for comparison).
Late 1960s Cricket Flyers.
A one sided flyer advertising the new OO scale cricket, which could be displayed at retailers. The early version (on the left) only offers the Club and Display Editions, while the later version also offers the Test Match Edition.
Price Lists.
The 1960s football had a combined catalogue/price list, so when the cricket and rugby games were introduced they had to have their own versions. Shown here are the two sides of the 1968-69 cricket price list, and one side of a very early rugby price list (circa 1970). The side shown lists the accessories available, while the other side lists the 25 teams available at that time.
In the 1970s the football catalogues change to a poster format which illustrates all the football teams, but also has room to list all the accessories for all the games. However, the inflation of the 1970s stopped prices being published in the catalogues, so separate price lists were printed to accompany them. The final illustration above is the April 1976 price list, and this is the standard format of these lists. The football and rugby accessories are listed on the front, while the cricket accessories are on the back, together with an unpriced list of the box sets available.
Box Set flyers from the 1970s.
Doubling up with the catalogues on the previous page, these two fold-out flyers seem to be mostly advertising the box sets of their respective eras. The one on the left is from 1971-72, and features the Angling set (for a whopping £2.70) plus the dicer, and an early appearance of the original World Cup football set. The second flyer illustrated is from 1978, and has the box sets available when I was first playing. Notice the early version of the Stadium Edition looking very tempting in this one.
And Finally....
No look at catalogues would be complete without these tiny flyers which were included with every team and accessory of the early 1990s. They are nearly identical, except that the second version has the new floodlights, a new picture of the Italia 90 balls, and replaces the Italia 90 pitch with a normal one. They are well illustrated, and the first one you own will probably prove useful. However, by the time you reach double figures, you may be getting a little sick of them....
...as you may be getting sick of this list of catalogues. Never mind, as you've reached the end. Follow the links to something else that takes your fancy, or return to the main page for the full index.
