Cromy Super Amigos Cards (Argentina)

The Super Amigos was the "Super Friends" for South America. Along with the Super Powers action figures, the company called Cromy issued at least four different collector's albums with sticker cards to complete them.

The user would complete each set by placing the cards/stickers onto themed pages.

Super Amigos Album #1 (1981)

Set included:

  • #1-55(?) “Super Redondas” (rounds)
  • #63(?)–148(?) sticker cards
  • Many “troqueladas” (cut-outs) of characters to be placed onto scenes in the book
    Supplemental insert where the characters can be viewed through 3D glasses.

"Mirror Surface" Collectibles

Examples of the "mirror surface" items sold on ebay. Left: Stargirl stickers. Right: Justice League postcards.

Collectors beware: In 2020-2021, so-called "Mirror Surface" postcards and stickers proliferated on ebay. These postcards and stickers were likely couterfeit, or at minimum, unofficial merchandise. They bear no copyright information, are made and shipped from China, and were sold by a single seller on ebay. By late 2021, they no longer appeared on ebay (could it have something to do with the email I sent to Warner Media?).

When Cosmic Teams inquired about their origin, this was the response:

"I am sorry we are not really familiar with the producer of the postcards. We just thought these kind of postcard is very pretty, so we share them on Ebay."

Despite their questionable origin, the materials have a super-shiny coating and the images are flawless in quality. This suggests that the makers have access to the original art used in making the official marketing materials. My guess is that they are made by someone in an overseas marketing studio for Warner Media.

The postcards measure 4" x 5¼" and have a blank back side. Stickers measure 2-1/8" x 3-3/8" and blank back side. Some of the art does not appear on other official promotional cards and sometimes includes movie poster art. I bought a lot of these before I questioned it. Oh well, they are pretty.
