Numbering

#1–150

About the set

• Issued in 1962. 150 colour cards, numbered TEVE 1 to TEVE 150.
• Printed on fairly thin card, like the 1962 TV Set that came just before it.
• The wrapper reads "SERIE TEVE 13", "10 världsberömda filmstjärnor" and "i strålande färger" (ten world-famous film stars in brilliant colours).

Variants and printings

• The set was printed more than once, so the colouring shifts slightly from copy to copy. Only clear colour differences count as variants.
• 50 numbers are known in two clearly different colourings: 2, 5, 13, 21–24, 26–28, 39, 44–46, 50, 51, 60, 61, 64, 66, 70, 74, 76, 78, 82, 83, 86, 87, 89, 91, 93, 96–98, 106, 108, 113, 115, 116, 118, 119, 121, 127, 135–137, 142, 143, 145 and 146.
• The difference is most obvious on 2, 24, 26–28, 44, 51, 61, 66, 70, 76, 78, 86, 87, 89, 91, 96, 97, 118, 119, 121, 127, 137 and 143. No 118 (the Cartwright brothers) is a clear example: two copies side by side are coloured quite differently.
• More colour variants are expected to turn up.

How to recognise

• The number carries the word "TEVE" in front of it, for example "TEVE 10". The 1962 TV Set looks much the same but its numbers read "TV".
• Several cards show two or more people under one number. No 3 has four names on one card: Anita Traversi, Katy Bodtger, Siw Malmkvist and Nora Brockstedt.

Numbers to know

• No part of the set stands out as scarce. All 150 numbers are about equally easy to find, and the set as a whole is a common one.
