Star badges, 1950s and 1960s. On sale outside Ninian Park, small plastic ‘star badges’ were a way many Cardiff City supporters chose to show their allegiance. Most that you find are 'star' shaped, but they came in a wide variety of shapes and the same player can be found in many different poses. There were probably thousands of different badges issued throughout the late 1950s and the 1960s.
The cards are highly collectable, especially among Subbuteo collectors. The game was available from the 1947-48 season, throughout the 1950's, right up until 1964-65. A complete version of this collection is currently on sale on the Subbuteo World website for £349.
