Description: These two separate card sets were issued in Sweden, and are among the more difficult international vintage sets to complete, especially if you attempt to collect all variations available. I would like to thank Bert-Olof Lundin for providing much of the information on these card sets and Bror Hellman for helping to update and correct information to make this page more complete. There are two sets of the Stjärnornas Krig Swedish Star Wars cards. The first set of cards are numbered 201-278. The second set of cards are numbered 301-326. It is not known why the cards are numbered in this way, as the numbering scheme does not appear to fit in with other cards issued in Sweden in the same time period. Cards came packaged in a blue wrapper with a small cut-out "window" on the front that allowed you to not only see part of the first card in the pack, but to actually touch the card as well. It is very unusual to find a sealed pack of cards for collecting. The first set of cards was issued with two variations. Cards either have descriptive text, describing the characters shown on the card, or they have the words "Stjärnornas Krig" (The Stars War) in the place where the descriptive text would be. This variation makes it possible for a collector to complete three separate sets of Swedish Star Wars cards; a set numbered 201-278 with all cards labeled Stjarnornas Krig, a set numbered 201-278 with all cards having a descriptive label, and a set of cards numbered 301-326. It is very difficult to complete a set of the cards numbered 201-278 where all of the cards have descriptive text rather than the Stjarnornas Krig labeling. The second set of Star Wars cards was not issued with variations, and all cards only come as labeled in the checklist below. A small number of Star Wars cards are numbered outside the numbers shown above, as they were apparently included in with card sets that were not Star Wars cards. There are a total of 6 cards with Star Wars themes found in other sets. They are now shown on the checklist with thanks to Bror Hellman. It should be noted that there are 2 cards numbered 78 with unique images. It is possible these were included in different non-Star Wars sets. These cards were manufactured by a card company called Nellba AB (AB is Swedish for 'company' similar to LTD or INC). The company was founded in 1960 and went bankrupt in 1985. It is reportedly the largest trading card manufacturer in Sweden during this time. The card descriptions below are those from the actual cards. Explanations, where needed, have been placed in parenthesis. All cards were numbered on the card front along one edge, with the card description following the number. Original spelling and punctuation has been used in this list, however some accent marks are not indicated due to the limitations of my HTML editor. Cards show images from all three Star Wars movies, and do not follow in plot sequence. Some cards contain the abbreviation "m.fl." which stands for med flera (with others in Swedish). Cards 201-278 also had a second variation possibility in that the cards came both with and whithout the "TM c Lucas Film 1983 Arr." on top. Thanks to MVH Marcus for this information. All of the cards that are numbered 301-326 have "eno (c)opyright notice on the front, and the following text on the back: "TM & (C) Lucasfilm Ltd. All rights reserved. Nellba Authorized User.
