Notes: Checklist incomplete. These have been found in sheets of 10 cards (2 rows with 5 cards each row). It looks like that is how they were originally issued, with many cards now found cut off of these sheets. At the bottom of one of these card sheets, there is the name and address of the issuer:

IDOLBILD, Brahegatan 12, Stockholm, Telefon 67 13 67
Bestallningsnummer: Film 102

This is one of three sets that all share the same checklist, but with somewhat different card look. They are all identified as Idolbild, since they are identified as Idolbild on some of the cards and album. These three sets are Anonymous Film Stars (Idolbild - Sweden Small B&W), Anonymous Film Stars (Idolbild - Cursive Text - Studio Logo with Numbers - Sweden), and Anonymous Film Stars (Idolbild - B&W Copyright: Film Studio Name). The first two of these sets look like they contain 700 cards, while the Cursive Text set looks like it contains only the first 200 cards.

Some Swedish cards sellers refer to this version of this set as Idolbilds Stjarnserie - Textserien.

Date info: According to Mikael Hoffsten, these cards were issued in Sweden in 1950-1951.
