Vintage Days - Wartime Football

[flick2kick]

I have seen vintage days table soccer teams being advertised on Ebay recently, but does anybody out there know anything more about them, I have done a search on the internet but could not come up with anything. I supose I could contact the person selling them on Ebay once I see the teams up there again....

Yes that's it, sorry had'nt looked on Ebay for a few days. I suppose I should make contact with the seller now to find out a little more about them, thanks...

[Allwrighty]

Well they self painted on vintage figures ... http://stefancorda.co.uk/our-products/figures/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; you can get the figures there

I contacted the guy that is selling the teams on Ebay and he tells me that the teams he has been selling on sureshot bases are just one offs and that he is in the process of launching his own website within the next couple of weeks and that he will be releasing his own handmade table soccer game and accessories, apparently the game will include a stadium built around the pitch, he also said that although the game will be compaired to subbuteo it is totally unique....his words not mine, so once he sends me the link I will post it up here and we can all make our own minds up.

Very interesting. Its a nice paint job that Hamilton one. Stadiums and all eh ? Sounds ambitious. BTW, welcome to the Forum flick2kick.

Hi subbuteoman thanks for the welcome. Yes the three teams he has up at the moment all look to be very good paint jobs and I just looked at them again and I have noticed that they are standing on the pitch in front of a stand, I actually now can't wait for him to send me the website link !!!!

I noticed that two of three vintage days teams sold on Ebay, not a bad price for the buyer either,can't wait to see what else this guy put up on there, I might even contact him again and see if he takes commissions for particular teams to be painted.

How much they fetch

I would say he almost certainly does.

Hi Allwrighty, sorry I had not answered you before, the two vintage days teams sold for £9.99 each which as I said is a good price for the buyer.

I hope his painting is better than his spelling

its Hamilton Academical no s

not wishing to correct you but check out this website http://hamilton.ffsreferee.co.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; so it does seem that sometimes the S' is added which probably comes from the knickname the "Accies", so really you could say that you are both right.....
