This Alberto Ascari early card is from late 1946 when this new-year 1947 seris was issued. This is a so-called "packet-issue" card. It was issued as a token with Motta foods and, as it says on the back, it was to be clipped out, saved and returned to Motto for prizes, which is why so few of these remain in circulation!

This one shows Alberto Ascari in his early, 2-wheel days! Here, he's still to become the legendary Ferrari F1 driver. . It shows him when he was still a MotoGP motorcycle rider. So, it's truly a ROOKIE CARD for Ascari!.

The "Motta Sport 1947" collection was typically oddly cut, because it had to be cut out from a leaflet issued with Motta brand foods. The token, seen as issued, was issued folded, then was cut out, completed and mailed back to Motta.
