Notes: The fronts of these cards are identical to the American Strollers Film Stars (T85) set. I believe Strollers was the originator for this set, and they allowed the designs to be used in other sets around the world.
The Strollers set consisted of various subsets and eventually numbered 280 different numbered cards. The Almonds Cinema Stars cards consist of numbers 101-200 from that set. Strollers cards were also issued in Canada by Tobacco Products Corp., in the USA by American Beauty Malt and in various strip card sets, and in Indonesia by Zoraida.
Three different back designs have been seen for the Almonds Cinema Stars set.
The checklist below is taken from the Strollers checklist, not all of the cards have been confirmed as Almonds Cinema Stars. The Almonds confirmed cards are marked with an asterisk (*) in the checklist below.
