1928 Wills Cinema Stars were a British release over two 25-card series. Cards were distributed in packs of Wills’ Cigarettes.
Each series is individually numbered but card backs do include a “1st Series” or “2nd Series” designation which makes it easier to keep straight.
This set remains fairly common and a great entry into tobacco cards as its price point is very accessible.
