Stickers!

[pasithea]

Hee hee,

Remember those pages of stickers you got when you were a kid? Well, Stacey actually kept all of hers. I ran across an entire notebook full of them when cleaning the other day and then yesterday a friend mentioned that he liked stickers, so I pulled out some choice sheets and scanned them. She's got dozens of pages of these things but these were just SO painful. I particularly love the 'games' and 'music' ones.

I put 150DPI scans in multi-page PDFs (just in case someone actually wanted to print some of these for nostalgia reasons or something) Too bad a lot of the games stickers are 'missing' (they're actually saved on other pages in her sticker book but I didn't feel like tracking them all down)

But cool, no? Remember when all this stuff was new and stickers were precious and important to you?

Well... Enjoy the 80's!

Holy living mother of crap.

The "Stuck on Stickers" club.

They have a website. But it's apparently been closed since end of '03. I'm astonished they lasted that long.

Yup, that's them. She's got an 'official collectors 3-ring binder' no less and probably at least a hundred different sheets of these things.

It makes me smile to see how many of the ponies and unicorns stickers she used though. Kwaii-n desu yo! ^_^

I remember in the late 70s/early 80s, trading stationary. Paper, envelopes, notecards and stickers. So much fun!

Cripes! I remember seeing those stickers waaaaay back. The games pages now have my head filled with images of dimly lit wood paneled and hideously carpeted arcades, the pleasant cacophony of pinball and arcade machines, and cheap pizza and watery punch.

Thank you. :)

The Pleasant Cacophony...

Those are great! Thank you. :)

oh man, these are awesome. every one of those game ones is an LJ icon waiting to happen. Can I reformat them to 100x100 pixel gifs?

[dv-girl.livejournal.com]

Absolutely! As you can see, I already appropriated one for just that purpose. :)

My gods. Look at the name on the bottom of the arcade ones. The text credit. Does the name "Jovial Bob Stein" ring a bell. Now there's my 1980's nostalgia... Do you remember Dynamite magazine? Or Bananas?

[dv-girl.livejournal.com]

I remember the names but nothing much else. (Should I be thankful of that?)

[queenofstripes.livejournal.com]

He... wrote the 1980's. :) His name was on damn near everything -- cartoons, a series of kids "Choose Your Own Adventure" knockoffs, Dynamite and Bananas articles... I only recognize his name through sheer repetition, because I was constantly finding it on stuff I read as a kid!

The only problem is, er, very often the stuff he wrote wasn't very good. :)

Not only that, but (in case you didn't know) Jovial Bob Stine is also R.L. Stine, of Fear Street and Goosebumps renown.
