Default 1959-1973 Red Rose Tea Canadian version,complete run

OK, back when the pandemic started I decided I wanted to build all of these sets the Red Rose released here in Canada.
When I first started I did not realize just how much of a task this would be.So many variations with some of these releases.
So my 17 sets turned out to 26 set is total with all of the variation.Plus when Lipton decided to re-release some of the sets
then I also needed those sets.Plus I already had all of the series glued in their albums. But most collectors want them loose.
So I build all the sets, put them in 15 pocket pages and then placed in a do-a-tang type folder. And since these sets are
all loose I have also added a brand new never used album for each set.So when your grand mother collected these and
stuck them into albums. They either had no idea about the variations or really did not care. So I am almost 100% positive
that my sets that are glued into albums are a mix of all the different variations.Then along come Lipton.They
reissued series 15 'Animals and their Young" with a slight difference on the back. They eliminated the words "Series 15".
After that they planned on doing the same with Series 5 "Dinosaurs" But this release only got to the front office.
It was never released.But some how a few promo type sets did find their way out there.They are extremely hard
to find and a very expensive when you do find them.This set also had a few alterations as well. For example
some Dinosaurs were renamed between 1963 and 1991 when Lipton tried to do this. So below is a list of all the
sets that are included. Remember that I will also include a new newer used album for each series. Including a
new album for all of the variation sets as well. So PLMK by PM if you think that you may have any interest in
this very complete run of 1959-19774 Red Rose tea cards(Canadian Version) plus the two Lipton sets and new
never used albums.Remember PM only.And only if you are serious about these.It will not be cheap. PLMK
