This set is a variation of the Maple Leaf Gum Film Stars (Number in Circle) set. That set seems to have been issued all over the world, as it was issued in Canada, Malta, and The Netherlands and possibly other countries in addition to this German version. This version is different from the Canadian version listed on this website in the following way - the first 70 numbers seem to be the same as the Canadian version, but the numbers after 70 all picture different movie stars, mostly German movie stars.

These cards can also be found in a printed-backed version with ML Kaugummi "Maple Leaf" backs. The printed-backed cards mention 112 cards in the series. I don't know if these cards with the printed backs can be found with numbers greater than 112.

It appears this set was issued in groups of 35 cards at a time. The higher the number, the scarcer the card, especially after number 300. If cards were issued in groups of 35, which certainly seems to be the case with other German series, then the highest number is probably 350. Highest number actually seen to date is number 345. It’s possible that not all cards from the final batch of 35 (numbers 316-350) were issued, because many of the cards have never been seen.

Date info: The Cameric Cigarette Card Club "Notes and News" magazine mentions this set as a new issue in its February 1955 issue. The set was probably issued in 1954.

Thanks to Piet Gooijaers, Richard Minns, and Nick Bolton for help with this checklist.
