UK Trebor card set
Trebor, based in Ireland, distributed a UK Topps 79 set. The set consisted of 88 cards and no stickers. A few of the cards are different from the US set. The backs are similar to US with text and puzzles. The card stock is lighter than the US set and the images are brighter. The main difference between the US and UK wrappers is along right side. The US one has address and ingredient listings. Trebor says, “Collect all 88 brand new movie cards in this series”. The top of Trebor wrapper has black text “manufactured in Republic of Ireland by Topps. Distributed in UK and Ireland by Trebor Ltd”
