The Goal: A List of Every Known VistaScreen Series
In order to build on the VistaScreen overview page, I’m going to use this page in order to attempt something bold. Namely, a digitized list of every known (to me) VistaScreen series. To start with, I’m going to add in every series in my collection. I’ll link the ones that are displayed on this site. Then I’ll go to the various order forms, lists, screengrabs, and so-on that I’ve collected over the years.
Finally, I reach out to you – please, if you have, or know of, any sets that aren’t here… please contact me! If I have dozens of sets that don’t appear on any order forms, online searches, etc, then chances are that some of you readers do too. The better the list gets, the more information we’ll all have on what’s in our collections – and what we’re missing! This could be a great resource, but I certainly can’t do it alone. So please let me know what you’ve got.
The List – Sorted by Prefix
These are all prefixed by the word Series, with the exception of some of the foreign cards, which are prefixed by “Serie”. The latter will be noted before the name of the series. Bolded names are series that have been posted – click on them to open the page!
