best wishes winning Peter Pan. Not sure if it's of interest, but for the Sunicrust Mad Moon Monsters, I have a full sheet of stickers !!! ...I think you sent away for them back in the day or something. ...but my grandma got them from an op-shop back in the 1970's, so not sure. I have never seen them on eBay, so I'd say they are very rare...just wonder if the Disney etc had stickers as well ? ...hmmmm ...something to look out for.

Hi Andrew - thanks. The only one missing! I have put it on my watch list, and fingers crossed for 6 days time.

No, I don't have any of the series you mention. These 3 (cricket, football, Disney) collections all come from 1974. I collected with great enthusiasm for about 12 months - the sports series started it - then I lost interest. However, I still have 100s of duplicates - I have no idea where they all came from - friends, relatives, local church - I think I must have had everybody eating Sunicrust bread!

Daisy got to be "Miss Sunicrust" and Donald missed out again - "Oh phooey!". Anyway, interesting if they were official. Good on multinational Sunicrust ! I had a look at my handful of Disney cards, but alas, no Pan. I have a few from several Sunicrust series, but the one I collect and like is the "MAD MOON MONSTERS". Also the "WHAT IS IT ?" cards. Do you collect them too ? (I also grabbed a nice set of CRAZY CREW when I had the chance, but I didn't collect them as a kid.)

Hi Walt, I presume it was official as it was Sunicrust's second Disney series, and each image is marked as (c) Walt Disney Productions. What I do find of interest is Daisy Duck is wearing a sash marked "Miss Sunicrust" - special artwork? And as for Peter Pan...well I have plenty of swaps if you have one!

...so I wonder if Sunicrust Bread in Melbourne & maybe Mt. Waverley, in 1974 REALLY had an OFFICIAL arrangement with Disney in America ? Great set of cards though. (except that Captain Hook seems to have got Peter Pan finally !)
