This is a list of the ads, postcards etc in my collection. I started collecting the ads for Absolut Vodka in July 95. Due to Swedish law, magazines in Sweden aren't allowed to do any alcohol-related
advertising so I can tell you, it isn't especially easy to be a collector in the Absolut Country of Sweden itself, but why should it be easy? ;-)
If you would like to trade ads, please send a mail to me at reklamera@swipnet.se . Especially looking for early Fashion Collections, Impression (inkless), Stockings, Joy to the world and other spectaculars.
