Good to know
  • Several printings, some darker and some lighter.
  • Each card has the logo of a record or film company in the lower left corner, which gives the set its name. Record labels include Philips, Decca, Cupol, Sonet, RCA, Metronome, Knäppupp, Karusell, Capitol and Polydor. Film companies include SF, Sandrews, Rank Film, Republic Pictures, Columbia, MGM and Wive Film.
  • Unnumbered. The total is given as 242, but a count of all known cards comes to 243, so the exact figure is unclear.
More about this set

About the set

  • Issued in 1957 as "Symbolbilder". About 242 unnumbered cards of film stars and music artists.
  • Issued by the firm TREAB, according to the packet backs.
  • Sold in packets, and also given away in packets of Kellogg's Cornflakes.
  • Most cards are fairly common, but a good number seldom turn up.

Variants and printings

  • Kim Novak exists both with no logo and with a Columbia logo. The no-logo card is the harder one.
  • Elvis Presley has two RCA cards: one in a yellow jacket and one in a military cap. The military-cap card is uncommon.
  • Some stars have two versions told apart by a detail: Forrest Tucker with or without a hat, Rod Cameron in a beige shirt (United Artists logo) or with a Republic Pictures logo, Sterling Hayden in a green shirt or not, and Rex Allen with a pistol beside two other Rex Allen cards. In each case the hat, shirt or pistol card is the harder one.
  • John Payne exists with a Republic Pictures logo and with an RKO Radio Films logo.
  • Ben Cooper, Earl Hines and Lars Lönndahl are each listed twice under the same logo.

How to recognise

  • Philips is the most frequent logo, on about 30 cards.
  • Seven cards in the same style have no logo: Tony Curtis, James Darren, Laurie London, Anita Ekberg, Douglas Håge, Kim Novak and Ingemar "Ingo" Johansson. They count as part of the set.
  • No numbers.

Numbers to know

  • Xavier Cugat also exists with his first name misspelt "Xalier Cugat".
  • Hardest to find: Anna-Lisa Ericsson, Anthony Steel, Connie Francis, Conway Twitty, Elvis Presley in a military cap, Pascale Petit, Robbans Skiffel and Ronald Reagan.
  • Also scarce: Benny Goodman, Bobby Darin, Boris, Bunk Johnson, Cliff Richard, Doris Svedlund, Fay Wray, Georg Riedel, Gordon MacRae, Jack Hawkins, Jean Carson, Lill-Babs, Peggy Castle, Perry Como, Tommy Steele, Tony Wright, Yma Sumac, and the shirt variants of Rod Cameron and Sterling Hayden.
