Notes: Checklist may not be complete. Picture Show magazine issued a number of small film star card sets featuring either individual stars or film partners from around 1929-37. These were sometimes issued in small groups with the same design over a month or two, or were sometimes one off individual supplements designed to promote various stars and their films. These were issued in various sizes and designs, sometimes in color and sometimes in black and white. Some are dated on the card and some are not, but the dates in the checklist below are from the date of the magazine issue in which they were given away if not dated on the card. British Trade Ref.
