Notes: Checklist incomplete for Belgium version. Checklist is complete for Venezuela version. These can be found in at least two different formats as follows:

One format for these has printing on the back, with a Pop Festival title and a copyright statement of 1980 V.I.U. This version was probably issued in Belgium and contains text in three languages - dutch, french, and english. The back text contains the name and number of the star and a mention of an album.

The second format for these has blank backs, with the number added to the front. The star is unidentified in this version, with the name not appearing on the front or back. Presumably, these were meant to be stuck down in an album with the name appearing there. Sellers of these have indicated that they were issued by Empacadora Reyauca. Wrappers have been seen that originate from Venezuela.

The numbering and subjects between the sets are mostly the same, but there are some differences.
