Since I have not yet worked on the photo of my pumpkin, but that is my next task, here is something else spooky for Hallowe`en, whilst you wait.
This little advertising card was issued by Fry`s Chocolate and sold for £55 at a Cartophilic Society auction in October 2021, after having been estimated at just £12 - 15.

Now as a follow up to the above toot I also have this, which is a trade card sticker, issued by Panini, card 27 in the "Autos" series, issued in 1993. Note the very spiffy white soft top.
