     The Basuritas 2 series was released throughout Argentina in 2002.  The Industria Argentina Co. manufactured the sticker album cards for Cromos S.H. The set covers several cards and images of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 10th, 14th, and 15th U.S. series, not in any particular order. The cards measure 2 1/4 X  2 3/4 inches (roughly 53 x 70 mm), and are non-die cut stickers. The Argentina 192 card sticker set is a direct reproduction of previous Basuritas cards and have a dull gloss finish with a new yellow border. The series also contains a "chase" set that is actually part of the numbered set which is a "Pog" card that holds two pogs - a "chase" card not found in any other international release - that measures 2 x 3 1/2 (roughly 50 x 90 mm). Stickers come 5 to a pack and are printed on plain white paper stock, the cards can be found with a slight gloss back or a dull, rough back.

STICKER ALBUM

1. The "Basuritas 2" cards and pogs have Yellow Headers With Red Writing, very reminiscent of the 1st U.S. series card 18a "Cranky FRANKIE" and 18b "Bad BRAD". Card example # 85 "ROCO Meclavos".




2. The set contains "BUSCADO" Cards, like the U.S. 3rd and 4th series "WANTED" backs, randomly placed throughout the series, very much like the original 1st and 2nd series Basuritas; The Basuritas 2000/2001 have them all clumped together.


3. The series contains special "Pog" Cards numbered within the series instead of all regular cards or stickers. The pog "chase" cards are a new idea for the Argentina sets and cannot be found in any other international release - the circular pictures 'pop-out' of the heavier card stock. The pogs can be found either printed on an off-white card stock or a darker, "tan" card stock.

4. The set contains cards with Red "Name Bars" with white lettering... the only exception is card # 3 "NAHUEL Electrocutado" that has a yellow "name bar" with black lettering.


5. The series uses various cards and images from the 1st, 2nd , 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 10th, 14th, and 15th U.S. series.
