wormboy Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 (edited) Hi Everyone, As a kid my bunk bed was plastered with these stickers. I loved the heroes and the horror, but my favorite was always Black Widow I collect these stickers and cards, and thought I'd share what I've learned while collecting the sets.

wormboy Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 This is how I keep them: In top loaders with one set on the right and one on the left. Empty wax packs in the front to remind me which set is which. Readcomix and Silver Surfer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadroch Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Nice. There is an earlier set of stickers, as well, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormboy Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 Thanks. Yeah, there was a Donruss set from the late sixties I believe, but not an earlier Topps set. I collect marvel stuff from 1970 to 1980. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makeminemarvel Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Very cool. I collected baseball cards as a 9-10 year old in that era (and still do) and I am surprised I never had any of these. Don't remember ever seeing them available...love your collection!

jools&jim Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 WOW! Outstanding information...thanks for taking the time to do this. I have always loved these, and have a complete set of the '76 stickers (still missing a few of the checklist cards/puzzle pieces)... wormboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian48 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Wonderful memories. Loved that series when I was a kid. Chewed the gum right away and stuck the stickers virtually every where. I actually came across an unopened box at a local collectibles shop while vacationing in Cape Code about 3 years. Was tempted to pick it up, but decided not to get caught up in that collecting niche.

seanfingh Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 My bedroom was festooned with these stickers, as well as the larger DC stickers (which did not have any "clever" word bubbles, as I recall.) Thank you for posting this!!! Larryw7 and wormboy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greggy Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I am pretty sure that there is a back cover colour variant of one of the sets, as I bought one in Charlotte a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Pontoon Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 (edited) I started collecting these at the same time or right before I started collecting funnybooks. Unlike my OO comics though, these were lost to the sands of time. I often think that it would be nice to collect them again but have never taken the plunge to avoid spreading myself too thin.

batmiesta Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I remember spending all my scool money on these to complete a full set, the British versions were slightly different I think. BAT MAN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find them and get a fix for just a couple of bucks. I am super focused on just a few things (this being one of them), but I still need enough room to move around (when one niche gets hot buy another that's not). Thanks!
