CARTOPHILIC
Update to July/August 2006
Sainsbury's 'Try Something New Today' Recipe Cards
I seem to have caused some confusion regarding this listing. I know there are fifty plus recipe cards issued by Sainsbury during any one year but my reference refers to those cards issued under the Jamie Oliver banner.
I hope this clarifies the situation.
Thornycroft Ltd 'Superman Icons' (10)
These are printed on the reverse of the 10 Candy Stick packets to coincide with the new movie 'Superman Returns'. There are various action shots of Superman with the Superman logo flash across the bottom of the frame. There are also Superman insignia printed with the characteristics of our Superhero, as in Strength, Vision, Flight, Speed, Intellect, Breath and Hearing.
The images are all taken from the DC Comics of the past. There are six different colour packs making a potential collection of sixty packets! The colours, each with a different front design, are: Blue, Green, Mauve, Pink, Red and Yellow. Dated (06). There are numbers to the left top flap and these may refer to the pack design or the number in the set. Highest seen is 63.
Picture size when cut from packet 45 x 37.
Bell Cheese UK 'Kid's Go Free' (3)
I am not sure whether this comes under update or new issue!
The card depicted in the July/August issue could be found within the cheese carton but these cut-out Entry Vouchers have been printed on the reverse of the Cheez Dippers box. The fronts of the cards depict pictures of the attraction and the printed reverse inside the box gives the terms and conditions of the promotion.
The offer expires 29th October 2006.
Card size when cut from the packet 74 x 42.
Imperial Tobacco 'Richmond New Pack Design' (1)
The insert advises of a new pack design for the Richmond brand. I have recorded the issue as one item but it does come in two sizes.
Insert size (10) 90 x 35, (20) 90 x 47.
Undated, Unnumbered
Unilever UK (Peperami) '2006 World Cup Fanimal' Stickers (9)

Total (Petrol) 'Little Learners' Activity Cards (6)
Total service stations are giving away these cards over the summer months. Each card contains one large and two small stickers. Also available is a free adventure book with spaces to insert the large but not the small stickers. There is also a website to contact for extra fun during the school holidays. Card size (containing the stickers) 150 x 105. Unnumbered and undated.

These colourful tobacco inserts carry a picture of one of the firm's key employees. On the reverse is a short statement of their particular role in company. Front and backs have a thick black border. Unnumbered and dated 2006.

There are six countries depicted on the plastic discs, which are pictured on the front of the card: Italy, Germany, Spain, Brazil, Argentina and England. On the reverse are line drawings of a training tip. Dated 2006 but unnumbered, size 70 x 50.
