     The Basuritas 3 series was released throughout Argentina in 2003.  The Industria Argentina Co. manufactured the sticker album cards for Cromos S.H. The set covers several cards and images of the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 10th, 13th, 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 various U.S. cards and have a dull gloss finish with new different colored headers. The series also contains a "chase" set that is actually part of the numbered set which is a "Buscado" card that holds two "Wanted" cards, perferated in the middle in order to separate - a "chase" card not found in any other international release - that measures 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 (roughly 60 x 85 mm). Stickers come 5 to a pack and are printed on plain white paper stock..

1. The "Basuritas 3" cards can be found with Three Different Color Headers, red and blue - reminiscent of the U.S. headers, and a green header found throughout the set.






2. The series contains special "BUSCADO" Cards numbered within the series instead of all regular cards or stickers. The "Buscado" "chase" cards are an old concept to GPK, taken from the 3rd and 4th U.S. backs titled "Wanted", but with a new twist for the Argentina sets which cannot be found in any other international release - the perferated cards, so the two can be separated, is printed on heavier card stock. The "Buscado" cards can be found either printed on an off-white card stock or a speckled, "granite-looking" card stock. The cards have no specific names, the victims name is written on the card.


3. The set displays the names in several different colored name bars, card # 184 "AlienJANDRO" is the Only card with a Green Name Bar in the series.


4. The series uses various cards and images from the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th U.S. series.
