Notes: Came out from 1936 to 1938 in 16 groups of 25 cards, for a total of 400 cards. Cards were large, blank-backed and issued in envelopes. See scans for examples of envelopes. Advertising was on the front of the envelope, along with the group number. A small number of cards also known with advertising on them, either on the front or back. These were probably issued in singles to retailers to help promote the series.
To obtain the envelopes of 25 cards, 75 "Bildgutscheine" or coupons had to be sent into the company. The coupons were small enough to be placed inside cigarette packets (see separate entry on Union Bildgutscheine).
Cards were issued in two blocks: 1-8 and 9-16, with 200 cards in each block. Cards from the second block are much rarer than those in the first 8 groups.
All 400 cards were also issued by Union using envelopes and with blank backs, and most envelopes on the market were issued by Union (see separate entry). Mahalesi also brought out a number of the cards as singles (alongside motifs exclusive to Mahalesi), with advertising on the back of each card (see separate entry).
The checklist is presented here in series order (1-16). Because cards were unnumbered, they are listed in alphabetical order within each series, and at the end are the four motifs which have been seen with advertising on them.
Thanks to Nick Bolton for help with this checklist.
