More about this set
About the set
- Issued in 1956. Numbered G 1–G 198, 198 cards. An early set, and fairly uncommon.
- Published by Torsten G. Ericson of Hälsingborg.
- Sold in packs. The wrapper reads "TEGE nr. 415", "HOLLÄNDSKA FILMSTJÄRNEBILDER" (Dutch film-star pictures) and "äkta-FILMFOLIE-yta" (real film-foil surface).
Variants and printings
- Two printings: one with light, clear pictures and one with darker printing.
How to recognise
- Studio marks include "W.B.", "PAR.", "M.G.M.", "COL." or "COLUMBIA", "UNIV.", "FOX" or "20TH CENT. FOX", "R.K.O." and "REP. PIC.".
- The 1964 G Set also puts a G before its numbers, but it is a 1960s mix of TV, music and cartoons without studio marks.
Numbers to know
- The two Marilyn Monroe cards, No 130 (20th Century Fox) and No 152, are much harder to find than the rest and much sought after. All other numbers are about equally hard to find.
- No 152 Marilyn Monroe is credited to M.G.M.
