Does anyone have any information on this card? Is it really from 1963? The only information I could find had the same image as the card below. What I thought was this card is apparently the 1965 Sweedish Candy card. Are they the same card? Is the date on the slab wrong? Or is a 63 card a myth?

Thanks. So this Sweedish candy card is the infamous Idoler card?

Eagles, I got this e-mail froma guy in Sweden a few years back.

Hi Greg
I know that it was in a series with most music artists (POP), 84 cards in the series.
The was sold around 1965 in a packet of cards, I think 8 or ten cards in a packet.
There is now album what I know.
This is a link to a web side with Swedish trading cards.

You have to scroll down to TYPE 3
And I know it is VERY heard to find.

I hope it helps you

At first I was turned down by PSA, then I convinced SGC to grade them, then PSA got on board. I think I have 6 of these left, with one being a SGC 8.

That's a nice looking card.

I agree. It's probably the nicest looking early Ali card - Wagner like.
