1987 Impala Ases Mundiais do Desporto
Portugal
256 stickers


Features two chess player stickers #73 Bobby Fisher (Fischer) and #110 Anatoly Karpov. Although the album is attributed to 1987 there may be reason to believe it is earlier. The Karpov sticker states he is the World Chess Champion having defended his title twice, most recently defeating Kasparov. This would date the album to 1984-1985 before he lost the title to Kasparov in the 1985 rematch. In addition, Karpov was not in the 1979 Quelcom set that this album copied while Bobby Fischer was. The text on the back was copied and translated from the original Spanish to Portuguese. If any readers have further information please comment. Only the chess player stickers are listed here.

73. Bobby Fisher
110. Anatoly Karpov
