Note: Checklist incomplete. There are at least three different unnumbered Meyer movie star sets as follows.
All three sets state that an album was available. For the color set, the backs of the cards state that there are 30 cards in the set. The color card back also describes how you could trade a group of cards for a larger picture of a movie star (6 1/2" x 8 1/2"). The b&w black text backs describes how you could trade a group of cards for a larger picture of a movie star (6" x 8"). The b&w blue back text backs don't contain an offer for the large pictures.
Date Info: Greg Galliger hunted down a newspaper clipping about the Color set promotion from 1939, dating the color set to that year.
Thanks to Greg Galliger for help with this checklist.
