Retorno descomunal a la infancia.Algunos no los conocía porque o no había nacido(jeje)o era demasiado pequeña.Otros me suenan más cercanos.Yo nunca conseguí rellenar un álbum de cromos.Compraba otros para jugar a ganarmelos,los poníamos en el suelo bocabajo y tú con la palma de la mano les dabas un golpe y te llevabas los que se volvían.La de trucos que hacíamos para conseguirlo.Eramos expertas.Luego jugábamos con la Nancy y al elástico.Ay la Nancy...
They're a kind of trading cards but not connected with a product. They're sold "alone" for children. Now it's a hobby almost disappeared here in Spain, except the football collections.
Aha! I see. I have no idea if it's abig thing here in Sweden nowadays. I think it was big, and big business, in the 90s though. Sports and Pokemon I guess. When I was a kid in the 70s it wasn't a manic thing as I recall but we had a lot of these small ones - probably about 7 x 5 cm. And they could have anything on them. Idols,(mostly international)symbols like smileys and hearts and movie stuff etc. I remember getting a bunch of larger American Star Wars cards which probably would be worth something today. I wish I still had my cards... sob sob! Thanks for the post, I will probably steal it ;)

ResponderEliminarLas muñecas de Famosa fueron el zeitgeist de la España Bajofranquista y de los primeros años democráticos.
ResponderEliminarHey Pez! What where the Cromos? I guess it's a product - candy, smokes, cornflakes - with which you got these cards to collect. I'm curios!

I'm (much) older than you, but I remember that in my childhood days, in the 60s, the collections were about a big bunch of themes too.
ResponderEliminarMany thanks to you for sharing your memories. And you don't steal, this is, of course, your home.
