Kenner-Palitoy Sticker Matrix
This is a matrix of 7 Kenner card variations as defined on 12back.com which have black and white Palitoy stickers applied over the USA postal addresses on the back of the card with an address to Coalville in the UK. These cards were sold in the UK when Palitoy versions weren’t available. A lot of Kenner cards were also sold in the UK without the need for Palitoy stickers as there were no special offers on the back of the card. These card variations are prefixed with KPS for Kenner Palitoy Sticker and then have the Kenner card variation as defined on 12back.com afterwards. The KPS prefix is so they stand out from the unprefixed Palitoy ones.
