G Set
Medium hard to find overall. On 25 double numbers the second card shows the Beatles, "Vi på Saltkråkan" or "Barna Hedenhös"; those are mostly harder than the rest, and the ten Beatles cards are the most wanted.

More about this set
About the set
- Issued in 1964. Numbered G 1–G 150. 25 numbers have two cards each, so the full set is 175 cards.
- A mixed set of film, TV, music and cartoons (the Jetsons, "Familjen Jetson"). Medium hard to find overall.
- Sold in packs. The wrappers read "STJÄRNSERIE - G 5" or "STJÄRNSERIE - G 6", "Film o. TV" and "10 olika bilder i vackra färger".
Variants and printings
- The 25 double-number pictures also exist with no G and no number. Those unnumbered cards form 1965 Unnumbered Set 1 and turn up somewhat more often than the numbered ones.
How to recognise
- The card stock is usually fairly dark.
- The Beatles cards spell the names "John Lenon" and "George Harrisson" (seen on No 19).
- The 1956 G Set (with Studio) also puts a G before its numbers, but it is a 1950s Hollywood set whose cards carry studio marks such as "M.G.M.".
Numbers to know
- The double numbers are No 6–10, 16–20, 26–30, 36–40 and 46–50. On each, the second card shows the Beatles, the Swedish series "Vi på Saltkråkan" or the cartoon "Barna Hedenhös".
- Beatles (10):
- No 6: James Mason / all four Beatles
- No 7: Lassie with John Provost / John Lennon and Ringo Starr
- No 9: Jane Russell / John Lennon and George Harrison
- No 16: Dan Duryea / George Harrison and Paul McCartney
- No 19: Robert Mitchum / all four Beatles
- No 26: Nat King Cole / George Harrison and Paul McCartney

- No 36: Ann-Margret with Bobby Rydell / all four Beatles
- No 46: Ann-Margret / all four Beatles
- No 48: Aki Aleong / John Lennon and Ringo Starr
- Barna Hedenhös (7):
- No 10: Guy Madison / "Barna Hedenhös på utflykt"
- No 20: Howard Keel / Sten, Flisa and Ben
- No 30: the Cartwrights / "Fiskfångst"

- No 40: Steve Cochran / "Utflykt"
- No 49: Doris Day / Sten, Flisa and Ben
- No 50: Lena Granhagen / "Husbåt"
- The Beatles, Saltkråkan and Hedenhös cards are mostly harder to find than the rest of the set, and the ten Beatles cards are the most wanted.
- In the main run, only No 17 (L. Airiste and A. Lindblom) is hard to find. The other main-run cards are about equally medium hard.
