The Basuritas 3 series was released throughout Argentina around the 2003-2004 period. The Industria Argentina Co. manufactured the sticker album card set covers several character images from the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 10th, 13th, 14th, and 15th U.S. Series sets, 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. card images and have a dull gloss finish with different colored headers.

The release also contains a 'chase' card set that is actually part of the numerical set which is a 'BUSCADO' card that holds two 'WANTED' cards, perferated in the middle in order to separate — an original 'chase' card not found in any other international release — that measures 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 inches, roughly 60 x 85 mm. Stickers come 5 to a pack and are printed on plain white paper stock. To put the release date into perspective, the All-New Series 2 and 3 GPK sets were being planned and released in 2004 within the U.S around this time.

1. The Basuritas 3 card layout can be found with three different Header colors found throughout the set; a red and blue, very reminiscent of the U.S. GPK headers, and a green color, reminiscent of the Japan Bukimi Kun release.

2. The release contains special BUSCADO 'chase' cards found thoughtout the set that are part of the numerical base set. The 'WANTED' chase cards are an old concept to GPK, taken from the 3rd and 4th U.S. Series card backs, also found throughout previous Argentinean releases, but with a new twist ... the 'BUSCADO' logo has been placed on the front of the card as a header; which cannot be found in any other international release. The cards are perferated, so the two can be separated, and printed on heavier card stock. The cards can be found either printed on an off-white card stock or a speckled, granite-looking card stock. The characters have no specific nomenclature, so the victim's name is written within the nameplate area of the card.
