#521 Fx Schmid – Pippi Langstrumpf Together With Pippi Langstrumpf Im Taka-Tuka-Land (Nr. 609 Twenty Together With 608 20) (1971)

I 1 time showed a deck of cards made past times Naipes Comas from Kingdom of Spain that had Pippi Longstocking equally the principal character/theme. That deck of menu was genuinely a reissue of an master copy High German deck of cards that I desire to present today.

There is no doubt, that Pippi is a fascinating grapheme for children all over the world. Even today, you lot tin give notice detect this if you lot view Astrid Lindgren´s World inwards Vimmerby, Sweden. There, the actress playing Pippi has to walk from 1 side to other (without stopping) non to go obstacled/surrounded/grabbed past times really modest children chasing her as well as shouting "Pippi, Pippi". This paradigm was really surprising to me, I institute it virtually scary.

No affair what, Pippi had a start existent activeness TV serial shot inwards 1969 that was translated to many languages as well as became really pop everywhere where it was shown. The principal grapheme was played past times Inger Nilsson. Some movies were made after as well as earlier the series, and, of course,there were many books written amongst her adventures. I guess this may vary from 1 province to another, but beingness Pippi a grapheme intended for rather modest children, the TV serial as well as movies convey had to a greater extent than success than the books.

This is an representative of merchandising as well as licensed items. In this instance it´s 2 decks of cards made inwards Deutschland (where Pippi was likewise extremely popular) that sold really good durign the 70s. Probably, two of the best selling decks past times FX Schmid.

The start deck is exactly Pippi Langstrumpf, as well as the side past times side 1 is Pippi Langstrumpf inwards Taka-Tuka-Land, where Pippi travels to a pirate isle and gets back a treasure stolen past times pirates. Both are based on the movies amongst the same names (1969 as well as 1970).

Both decks were reedited a few years later, as well as inwards the instance of Pippi as well as the Pirates, I ain 2 versions. They are genuinely the same except for the embrace card, that has a to a greater extent than modern (70s!) design, as well as the dorsum of the cards are printed inwards approximately other shade of blue. The colouring fabric of the pictures inwards the cards are likewise a fleck different, but this may likewise vary amidst decks inwards the same issue.

 And to complete this article, all cards from the minute develop summation "Facts as well as Figures"

#556 Fx Schmid - Wunder Der Technik (Around 1955)

This deck of cards was manufactured past times Schmid (today FX Schmid) inwards the 50s, mayhap 1955, although it is quite hard to laissez passer on an exact year...

Similarly to the deck past times JSJW shown inwards a previous entry, the box simulates a small-scale majority amongst leather covers, although it is made of cardboard. I bought both decks from the same seller, in addition to thus I guess that both are convey approximately the same age. It belongs to the serial "Quartett Bibliothek der Unterhaltung und das Wissen" (Quartett-Library of Entertainment in addition to Knowledge).

The quartet has nine families, each of them represents 1 category inwards the “wonders of technology” or “wonders of engineering”, like: roads, canals, bridges, trains, high buildings, shipbuilding or telecommunications.

 

 

I honey the subject of the deck in addition to the pictures are great. Despite beingness in addition to thus old, the deck is nevertheless quite modern, inwards close categories, the plant shown are nevertheless considered really advanced lx years later… the exclusively category inwards which the “wonders” convey been clearly exceeded are mayhap telecommunications.

#699 Fx Schmid – Waffen Des Wilden Westens (Nr.621 22) (1978)

I couldn’t resist buying this set... non that I similar guns, but it is 1 of the almost interesting in addition to rare quartets I convey seen inward my life. This theme does non appear the almost appropriate for children today, although nosotros must intend it was made inward 1978. At the fourth dimension western movies were really popular, likewise equally western pulp literature in addition to comics, in addition to hence perhaps it was non such a bad sentiment to convey this quartet released.

Anyway, it is a actually beautiful laid upward of cards: 32 guns in addition to rifles made inward the 19th century depicted amongst merely about accesories. The data nosotros tin strength out compare are the twelvemonth inward which it was built, the weight, the caliber of the bullets, the cast of the barrel in addition to the shooting range.

Note that the encompass auto is marked „Hobby Trumpf“. I create non know precisely if this is supposed to score a serial of Schmid quartetts or if it is merely about variety of sign to betoken it is oriented towards an adult collector. I am non familiar amongst Schmid quartetts, in addition to much less amongst such onetime ones.

#736 Fx Schmid - Conk Allerneuesten (50026.2), Ferrari (50045.3), Irre Schlitten (50057.6) In Addition To K Prix (50169.6) (1985 In Addition To 1989)

My favorite decks of cards are those showing cars, I dearest sport cars, race cars together with prototypes although whatever motorcar would do… novel or old, I don’t care. I introduce today a laid upwards of 4 decks made yesteryear FX Schmid, which belong to the same series, but are real unlike to each other.

All sets came inwards plastic “soap” boxes together with included 8 families. As nosotros volition encounter another time, some of these sets were likewise released inwards the smallest size amongst entirely vi families instead of 8. The comprehend carte of each laid upwards has the instructions on the back.

DIE ALLERNEUESTEN (50026.2)

Die Allerneuesten or “the real newest” introduce cars that were mutual inwards 1986 (the yr inwards which I cry back this deck was released), together with include from small-scale cars (Fiat Uno, Peugeot 205…) to to a greater extent than exclusive cars similar the Buick Regal or the BMW yard 635 CSI together with finishing yesteryear the real expensive Porsche 959 together with the Rolls Royce Silver Spur 6.7. To my knowledge, the Opel Junior was never produced inwards series.

“New” is a real broad category, equally this deck proves. From this laid upwards I similar the mixture of promotional together with read pictures, together with having a sentiment of what was available only about 1985.

FERRARI (50045.3)

Ferrari is the carmaker that makes to a greater extent than people dream of their cars worldwide, together with so making a Ferrari deck seems to live an thought lacking of whatever risks… I tin imagine this laid upwards sold real good at the time.

I includes models made betwixt 1959 (Ferrari 500 F2) to 1984, that’s why I engagement it 1985. The testarossa is non included (probably non designed yet), but in that place is a squeamish representation of modern Ferraris (modern inwards the mid 80s, at i time “classics”), Formula 1s together with race cars. Pictures are non promotional, but made yesteryear photographers all over the world, together with thence to a greater extent than valuable, because they are the ones y'all discovery everywhere else.

 

IRRE SCHLITTEN (50057.6)

Irre Schlitten, is quite hard to translate, literally agency something similar “mad carriages”, together with is a funny way to telephone yell upwards all the prototypes included inwards this deck. Here in that place are no cars affordable “for every purse”, since all of them were made inwards real curt numbers or are modifications or exceptional customizations made yesteryear artisans likewise inwards a real express number. Most models had a certainly fame inwards the 80s, together with appeared inwards many magazines, most epitome fans would inmediatly recognise at to the lowest degree 80% of all models here. I dearest from this deck that 2 cards correspond models made inwards Lichtenstein, together with on the hap of the card, nosotros encounter the nighttime bluish together with cerise flag of this small-scale principality inwards center-Europe. Probably it is the entirely technical quartett inwards which nosotros tin discovery this flag.

 

GRAND PRIX (50169.6)

And finally, this laid upwards most Formula 1 amongst models that ran (mostly) inwards 1988. What tin I tell most F1 that I haven’t said before? I only dearest these quartetts. Some families are non F1s, but Carts (American competition), Formula 3000 together with Formula III.
