Collector Barry Beckett recently purchased four unopened packs for the “Number in Black Square” set which were sold in packs labelled TV Pussel. In the packs there were 8 cards from the series plus 2 from the “Wild West” set that was released in 1968/9. Click the picture above to view a picture of a packet and the contents inside. In the packet shown, the 2 x Manolito cards are from the "Wild West" set. Three of the packs followed the same protocol and the 4th had 3 Wild West cards and only 7 of the “Black Square” set.

Thanks to Barry Beckett for help with this checklist.
