GODZILLA (GOJIRA) STICKERS, ALBUM, EMPTY BOX AND WRAPPERS: 1983, Toho Co. Ltd., Rare, Japanese Import Stickers, Lot of 84 different Godzilla trading card stickers #109, 111, 113(2) - 115, 117 -120, 122, 124 - 126, 128 - 130, 133 - 140, 142, 143, 148, 149, 151 - 162, 164, 166, 167, 169 - 174, 176 - 186, 188 - 194, 197, 198, 200, 201, 203, 204, 206 - 215 with the duplicate #113 and #130 both having the rare red overprint on the back. These are 1 5/8 x 2 1/4 inch, thin paper stock, color stickers, Average NM-, stickers from #109-216 Series. The thinner paper stock makes these a bit more difficult to find in high grade. The way the sheets were cut during production gives some edges a fraction of an image of the adjoining card. They are all like this; it is NOT a defect. These collectibles were made to stick into the VF/NM- condition Godzilla album you get. The backs do not appear to be peel away, so I assume you were supposed to glue them into the albums. The stickers feature an array of Toho monsters and scenes, including Godzilla, Minilla (aka Minya/Godzilla Jr.), Mechagodzilla, Ghidorah, Rodan, Mothra (Moth and Larva), Gabara, Gigan, Kumonga (aka Spiga), Kamacuras (Gimantis), Baragon, Anguirus, Mechani-Kong, Manda, and others. Plus, the Empty Box in Ex/M condition, box not flattened, some soiling on bottom, with 12 wrappers with Godzilla blowing radioactive breath on the front and Ghidorah with Jet Jaguar on back. The wrapper is paper, Ex/M- with minor wrinkles and two sets of staple holes, which is how the Japanese sealed their packs. - on the Non-Sport Trading Cards G page
