About the set

• Issued in 1963. Colour, numbered F 1–F 150, but only 145 cards: five numbers were never issued and there are no double numbers.
• A mixed set: film, TV, music, westerns and cartoons.
• Sold in packs. The wrapper reads "STJÄRNSERIE - F10", "Film o. TV" and "10 olika bilder i vackra färger" (ten different pictures in beautiful colours).

How to recognise

• The number has an "F" in front, as in "F 6".
• Cards with two people name both, joined by a dash, as on No 50 "Clint Eastwood – Viveca Lindfors".
• Two cartoons appear: Flinta, the Flintstones (No 6 is "Barney"), and the Swedish "Barna Hedenhös".

Numbers to know

• Never issued: No 59, 79, 109, 119 and 139. Why is not known.
• The three Elvis Presley cards, No 63, 117 and 147, are fairly hard to find, harder than the rest. All other numbers are about equally hard to find.
• The Barna Hedenhös cards sit on every tenth number from No 60 to No 150.
