Insights

Released as a European promotional in 1998 and now retired, English Footballer (3318) has niche demand from national-team and football collectors because of its country-specific minifigure print, and scarcity is balanced by a limited buyer base and clear condition sensitivity for sealed versus opened examples.

Set Facts

The set was released in England in conjunction with the 1998 World Football Cup.
It is a co-branded set with Shell.
