- Summary:
- Victorian Football League football card featuring Carlton player Berkeley Cox, from the Mobil Football Photos, 1964 season. There were 40 cards in a series and these could be collected and pasted in a Mobil football photos album. Comments on the featured player were published on the back of the cards, written by Lou Richards, football journalist for the Sun News-Pictorial newspaper, Melbourne and ex-Collingwood Football Club player. These cards and the accompanying album could be purchased at Mobil petrol stations.
After World War II, single petrol stations, which had previously sold a variety of petrol brands from multiple bowsers, evolved to become single brand petrol stations, selling just one brand of petrol. These cards can be seen as a marketing exercise to promote the Mobil petrol brand and engender customer loyalty through accessible and collectable items of popular culture. - Description:
- Football card with full colour image of football player on the front and biographical and player statistics information on the back.
