CARD GALLERY (SCANNED)

The GIANT Original Series 1 cards are all about nostalgia...and honestly there's nothing better than flipping through these big ol' cards from 1986. Sure, they might show their age a bit, but that's what it's all about! This 'Scanned' Gallery captures the complete set in all their aged-glory:

CARD GALLERY (ENHANCED)

...but wouldn't it be great to see the artwork as it was intended to look? Fresh...clean...bright...etc.? The cards below are part of a special 'Enhanced' Gallery, and have been cleaned up digitally to represent the absolute BEST possible version of the cards from the 80s. (Special thanks to Daniel Barras for his efforts helping bring this Enhanced Gallery to life!)

Enjoy the Gallery - and as a special bonus you can click on any image to download a hi-res version!

  • CARD NUMBERS: 1-39
  • BASE SET: 39 cards
  • VARIATION SET: 40 cards
  • CHECKLIST: Click HERE to print a Complete Set Checklist
  • INFORMATION: Topps released this set of Giant Original Series 1 characters in 1986, during the release of OS2. These stickers measure roughly 5"x7", and contain the 'a' names only
    The only design difference on these (aside from size) is the lack of a number on the card fronts
    Interestingly enough it contains every character from the (smaller) Original Series 1, but the order of the cards is messed up because two characters were not included in the GIANT set: Boozin' Bruce and Wacky Jackie
    There is also a variation for Adam Bomb - he is available with two different card backs (see checklist)
  • PACKAGING: There was a total of 1 BOX* and 1 WRAPPER produced for the Giant Series 1. Below is a list of the specific codes and variation details, followed by an example of a wrapper and box
    BOX:
    1-468-70-01-6
    WRAPPER:
    0-468-15-01-6
