BAYERN MUNICH 97/98

CORINTHIAN RELEASED FIGURES FROM 6 OF GERMANY'S TOP CLUB SIDES,WITH BAYERN MUNICH,AT THE TIME GERMANYS TOP CLUB SIDE, BEING 1 OF THEM.

12 FIGURES WERE RELEASED IN THE FAMOUS RED AND NAVY KIT OF BAYERN MUNICH.LIKE MOST OF THE FIGURES THAT MADE UP THIS SERIES,MOST OF THESE WERE NEVER MADE AGAIN.

DUE TO THAT FACT,THEY HAVE REMAINED HIGHLY COLLECTABLE,NOT ONLY IN THEIR HOME COUNTRY,BUT ALSO WITH COLLECTORS FROM AROUND THE WORLD.

DUE LARGELY TO BAYERN MUNICHS POPULARITY AND FAN BASE,THESE FIGURES ARE THE MOST EASILY OBTAINED OF THE WHOLE GERMAN CLUB SIDE FIGURES.

ALL WERE RELEASED WEARING THE KIT WORN THROUGHOUT THE 97/98 SEASON.

THIS SET OF FIGURES WERE ONLY AVAILABLE IN THE 12 PLAYER BOX SET,NO SINGLE BLISTER PACKS WERE PRODUCED,NOR ANY 4 PLAYER PACKS EITHER.

THE 12 PLAYER BOX SET WAS RELEASED IN MAY OF 1998 AND RETIRED BY CORINTHIAN ON THE 1ST OF FEBRUARY 2003

THE 12 PLAYER BOX SET CAME ACCOMPANIED WITH COLLECTOR CARDS FOR EACH OF THE FIGURES,ALONG WITH AN INFORMATION FILE.

THE RAREST OF THESE FIGURES IS WITHOUT DOUBT 'OLIVER KAHN.' CLOSELY FOLLOWED BY 'LOTHAR MATTHAUS'

BOTH ARE MOST DEFINETELY GERMAN FOOTBALL LEGENDS AND DUE TO THEIR POPULARITY AT THE TIME,THEY WERE MUCH SOUGHT AFTER,SO DEMAND FOR THESE FIGURES WERE HIGH WHICH MEANT STOCKS WERE VERY QUICKLY DEPLETED MAKING THEM HARDER TO FIND NOW.

VALUE WISE YOU CAN EXPECT TO PAY NO MORE THAN £10 FOR ANY OF THEM AND A 12 PLAYER BOX SET CAN BE FOUND FOR ABOUT £30.
