This John Toshack rookie card is number 117 from The Sun Soccercards set released in 1970. Distributed as newspaper inserts by The Sun, the series featured leading footballers from British clubs.

It has collector relevance for Wales, Cardiff City, Liverpool and Swansea City fans, reflecting Toshack’s progression from Cardiff captain to Liverpool striker and later a manager of major clubs including Real Madrid.

Graded MGC 9, this is the highest known graded example for this card, and remains exceptional for a 1970 newspaper-insert issue.
