Basuritas (Argentina)

The first two Argentine sets were issued around 1988 and 1989, with the Stani company holding the license and distribution rights and Editora Aladino producing the albums.

The cards themselves were adhesive stickers that needed moisture, and they ran a little smaller than the standard 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 card size. Most were not die cut, although some were die cut.

Among the local kids you’ll find MARITE NEBROSA, AMILCAR CAJADA, NATACHA N. CHITA, JAIME JILLAS, ALBA BOSA, and JUANCA VERNICOLA, with names like PACO SIDO and VIVI BORA.
