This set of 72, twice as big as any Scanlens series before it, features players from all 12 VFL clubs and the 8 WAFL teams of the time. Each card has good quality posed action shots with club name pennant and player position on the front. The set also includes selected die cut cards. On the reverse of each is part of a "giant Melbourne Grand Final aerial photo with club captains" from the previous year's big game. This 'jigsaw' became an integral part of the company's subsequent sets. They were available in packets with a stick of bubble gum from milk bars, newsagents and similar outlets. *Note - Each Die Cut card was also issued in a non Die Cut format. |

The player picture appeared on the front of a flexible disc (45rpm record) cover. The inside cover contained articles on 'The Australian Game', 'Player Profile', 'Football of the Future (VFL Park)' and a Premier team listing. The record had a player profile on one side and the other contained the story of the Brownlow Medal. A team colour 3UZ sticker was also issued inside the cover and ones that still contain the record and the sticker are more valuable than those that don't. Rumour has it that there may be a second series produced but it is yet to be substantiated. |
