Description: "SANTA AROUND THE WORLD" PREMIER EDITION PREMIUM TRADING CARD SET AN INFORMATIVE & FUN TRADING CARD SET FEATURING INTERNATIONAL DEPICTIONS OF SANTA CLAUSThis is a complete set of 72 different trading cards with pictures & descriptions of International Variations of Santa Claus. This set was produced in 1994 by a company called TCM Associates, Inc. & titled "Santa Around the World." This was the first release of its kind. This set is also known as the "Premier Edition. " The cards are numbered #1 - #72 & measure 2.5" X 3.5" (like a baseball card) each. This is a full & complete set. The card fronts each depict specific versions of Santa Claus as seen through the eyes of different Countries & different generations. The card backs feature puzzle pieces that go together making a large Christmas related image of a Christmas Bear. This is a great fun set & will undoubtedly teach you a thing or two about the evolution of Santa Claus through the artistic images. Some of the differences this set shows us about Santa that we can add to our knowledge of St. Nick as we know him today is that in a 1880 American rendition Santa was working on the toy-building himself (no Elves!). In 1882 Asia he was definitely more religious than portrayed today. In 1894 England he is seen carrying the tree in his back pack - and dressed in green?!? The artwork ranges from cartoon-style drawings to realistic paintings by some very talented artists. Winner agrees to send payment within 7 days. Thank you for the business!
