PARTICLE BOARD BILLBOARD

As a follow up to my last post which involved stickers on kid's furniture, I thought I'd share some photos of a feeble, yet noble record cabinet that served me throughout my childhood. It was in six pieces when I finally decided to trash it. I had to piece it together just long enough to take a few parting shots...

Those super hero stickers came out of boxes of Honey Combs. Others include Superman the Motion Picture, Star Wars, and some generic Scratch N' Sniff stickers.

Here the centerpiece is a 25 cent Superman sticker from a vending machine. The Pink Panther is all over this side. Note the "label maker" sticker that I made featuring my favorite Atari cartridges. "Rick and Tog" were from a Denny's Kid's meal. Radio 13 was a local AM station. I always liked that logo because of its ghostly feel.

The top is dominated by Fleer's Donkey Kong stickers. I see a few screenshot stickers from Tron the arcade game and some from E.T. Those Disney characters are the priciest ones since they came directly from Walt Disney World. The Pac-Men on the bottom two corners are bootlegs.

This series was Fleer's Stick-it-to-'em Insult Stickers.
