Canadian cellophane
|
Please note that the list of known Canadian cellos has been greatly updated since this survey was conducted. Please see teacard.com for the very latest information. |
Also
known as "cellos" these were issued in coffee and protected
by cellophane wrappers. They have become very collectable, and
this online survey aims to identify how many different kinds are
available.
Cellophane packets include 2 or more cards per pack, plus in some instances set completion cards and free album coupons. |
Where they are believed to exist they are shown in bold type and where this is uncertain, they are shown in light italic type. It is also possible that cellos exist that are not shown here. |
