These "TEKS" cards were printed for a short period and were based on the popular movie
or TV series at the time it was printed.
They were sold in "sari-sari" stores or by ambulant vendors near schools
because kids could not resist playing with them.
These cards were crudely made and printed on cardboard.
Like comics on cards, each card is meticulously drawn by a Filipino illustrator
and were numbered from 1-60 or more to complete a storyline.
These cards were made in the 1970s up to the early 1980s,
it measure approximately 35 mm x 46 mm. The 1960s card are a bit bigger
and measure 50 mm x 68 mm. Teks are well loved by the children and very seldom would survive.
I was lucky that I was able to save some of them from my childhood days.
