| | Details: Espana 82 issued by CO-OP stores for the 1982 World Cup is a very confusing set of cards. Carrying no text the 305 cards are cigarette card size, though the ones depicting the squads of the competing nations are postcard size. Star players and selected teams from the Qualifying groups are also featured, in small format only. Therefore some players are featured in both sections, with the same image being used although the cards are numbered differently. In addition there were 2 wallcharts/posters available, one depicting the England Squad, and the other Scotland. These each hold 48 small size cards again identical to the ones from the main set but again numbered differently. Therefore some cards appear 3 times. The cards for the posters are identical for each. Sold in sheets of 9 cards for 99p, the main set are numbered 1-305 and the poster ones are P1-P48.
