Hysterical History
Topps - 1976

Notes:  This series features artwork from U.S. History, but with 'disrespectful' 
captions. Card/sticker backs show either a mock newspaper article or a portion 
of two 3x3 puzzles. Stickers can be mistaken for cards, and are best distinguished 
by the die-cut corner tab that allows stickers to be unpeeled. Cards and stickers 
bear the same artwork and text.

Box: 36 packs of 3 stickers + 1card + 1 stick gum.
Sticker sets: approx. 1.64 per box if collation were perfect.
Card sets: approximately 0.55 per box.
