Found these earlier, 100 staunch points to anyone who has one

Deedle left a few of them in his wake!Is that a real Celtic player that Deedle is running away from or just German artistic license?
John AstonI wonder who the top ten were? Obviously we know 10, 9 and 6.
Also I like the look on Waddles face, as if to say “this is a doddle.” Casually smiling as he strolls away from the poet.
I can't believe he could actually run that fast. Look at the size of his heed....Deedle left a few of them in his wake!
W.A.T.P.
Truth be told, not 100% sure they are East German, when you put Turf into internet East German company comes up. Pretty sure they are British.Great find from the op. I was around from the early 50's and although just about every adult I knew smoked, I never saw a cigarette card during that time, never mind any from East Germany with our players on them. Down through the years since I've seen plenty in antique shops and they've usually always been pictures of famous English sportsmen. If somebody does have a collection of those East German cards of our players they must be worth a few bob,
Trust me, wife hates "Rangers cards".Love these types of cards, would like to start collecting but I know I'd end up "down a hole"

Turf (cigarette) - Wikipedia
en.m.wikipedia.org
Turf was a cigarette brand which was produced during the 1950s in the German Democratic Republic. Turf was sold in 20, 10 and 5-packs. She produced by the traditional "Zigarettenfabrik Jasmatzi", later "VEB Jasmatzi Dresden", which in 1959 merged into the "Vereinigten Zigarettenfabriken Dresden"in Dresden.
I always thought they were cards. Here's one which you describe.For those of you who don't know Tobacco cards were the first sports cards ever made.
The card was put in paper packet to protect cigarettes.
Later versions were printed on the inside of carboard shell around cigarettes.
I have several Alan Morton's from the 20's but there are "Rangers" cards from the turn of the century available.
If you are going to start collecting, NOW is the time as they are not going down in value.
