Any 'finds' overseas?

The MLH card has a designation of origin printed on the front. I don't buy the Algeria thing: wrong language. If there is a Caribbean connection, I think it more likely that the cards went through the Dutch islands rather than the British islands. FWIW, all of the ones I've seen for sale raw came through Europe.

As far as the Swedish one, I've seen that research too and I am still not sure that it wasn't a multi-country and/or multi-year issue. The box it was in is a 1968 Dutch TV series box but there were so many similar issues across nothern Europe that I don't think we have a definitive answer yet. Not that I am defending the TPGs; they usually have their heads up their butts when it comes to foreign boxing.
