BAB is attributed to a number of club badge stickers, though the attribution is problematic as there is no evidence on the stickers that they were made by BAB. With the discovery of Northern Trancessories it is possible that some of these stickers were produced by them rather than BAB. BAB stickers tended to be sold in plastic hanging shop displays, and it is these displays which sometimes give us the BAB name, as in the example below. |

Soccer Dip was the name used by BAB for three stickers sold for
3p. We can guess that the word 'Dip' referred to the lucky dip
element of which stickers you bought. The stickers come with either
a white or a brown backing paper, and many different design and
colour variations, perhaps suggesting many different sets, issues or
years.These stickers are slightly larger than the yellow-topped
shields. |

This set is printed with brown backs or white backs, suggesting
perhaps that they were produced over a number of years. The white
backs have 'FasPrint', Fasson, Leiden, Holland discernible on the
backing paper. The sides to the shields are sharp, as opposed to the
rounded sides set . There appears to be a near-identical set to this
set, but with a player image in front of the club colours instead of
the logo. |

This set is printed with white backs, with 'FasPrint', Fasson,
Leiden, Holland discernible on the backing paper. The shield designs
are different from the straight-sided sets. |

|
Straight sided badges with gold borders and nicknames. Very rare
badges. |

Round stickers with the player's head, name and team name. Plain
white backs. The set clearly targets the 1970 World Cup so was
produced perhaps just before the tournament, say March 1970? |

|
Round stickers with the player's head, name and team name. Plain
white backs. Same style as the international players, but players
with team name. |
|
|
Round stickers with the player's head and name.. The word
"permanent" is in red on backs. This set is, apparently, also
available with the team name on the sticker. Quite rare! |

|
Shield-shaped stickers with the player's head, name and team name
in a yellow box. Plain white backs. |

Set issued before February 1971 (Pop Robson transferred to
West Ham in February 1971). The existence of these stickers was
unknown before November 2013. |
|
|
Only two known, Jimmy Johnstone and Colin Stein. The
existence of these stickers was unknown before 2017. |
 |
|
Player shields. 1970 to 1974. Garishly coloured shields with
drawn player heads. Really interesting set though. Are these
really BAB? |

BAB produced a number of these beautiful sheets, copyright 1971.
The sheets contained a 'century of' i.e. 100, stickers. The football
related ones I am aware of are: |
