Notes: Checklist incomplete. These say Serie O on the fronts. There is an album that goes with these cards. The first part of the album is filled with 168 soccer players (Futbolistas) and the back part with 50 film stars. Series A through N are all soccer players, with each series devoted to the players for a particular team in the First Division. There were 14 teams in the First Division in the album.
There was a prize giveaway associated with this set. If someone collected all 168 soccer cards, they could turn in the cards and get a soccer ball. If someone collected all 50 film star cards, they could turn them in for a walking doll. As a result, it looks like there are some short-printed cards to make it harder to collect the prizes. For the film stars, cards number 40 and 46 are missing from the albums I've viewed of these cards, so those numbers were likely short-printed.
Date info: Since "La Primera Division" consisted of 14 clubs from 1941 to 1949 before expanding to 16 clubs in 1950, the album can be dated to the period between 1941 and 1949.
