VFB STUTTGART 97/98

CORINTHIAN RELEASED FIGURES FROM 6 OF GERMANY'S TOP CLUB SIDES,WITH VFB STUTTGART BEING SELECTED AS ONE OF THEM.

5 FIGURES WERE RELEASED IN THE WHITE KIT OF STUTTGART,ALL OF WHICH HAVE NEVER BEEN RELEASED AGAIN.

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

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

ALL FIGURES WERE RELEASED IN SINGLE BLISTER PACK FORMAT,ALONG WITH A 4 PLAYER PACK BEING RELEASED IN MAY OF 98. THE 4 PACK CONSISTED OF:

LEGAT,BERTHOLD,POSCHNER,BALAKOV

IT WAS THE STRIKER 'FREDI BOBIC' WHO WAS OMITTED FROM THE 4 PACK RELEASE.

SUBSEQUENTLY,HE HAS BECOME BY FAR THE RAREST OF THE 5 STUTTGART FIGURES,FOLLOWED BY BALAKOV,WITH THE OTHER 3 BEING MORE EASILY OBTAINED.

EACH FIGURE CAME ISSUED WITH A COLLECTOR CARD AND AN INFORMATION FILE.

THE 4 PLAYER PACK WAS RETIRED ON THE 1ST OF FEBRUARY 2003.

Value wise it is 'bobic' who demands the most money and can sell for around £20-25, perhaps more for a blister. 'Balakov' is the next in terms of rarity, costing around £15 and the other 3 perhaps no more than £10 each.

The 4 player pack is very seldom seen for sale these days but when it is be prepared to pay around £30 for it, maybe a little more if found in pristine condition.
