1978 - 79 Topps Hockey Stickers

As the LA Kings continue their amazing postseason run towards the Stanley Cup, I thought it would be a good time to look at the Hockey stickers that were inserts in packs of 1978 - 79 Topps Hockey cards:

In addition to team logo stickers, there were also 3 smaller stickers on each card which featured a piece of hockey equipment (such as a puck), a position (such as Center), and a number, which could go on your helmet or hockey stick.

Even though there were only 17 teams in the league at the time, there are 22 different stickers as 5 teams can be found with 2 variations of the 3 smaller stickers.

Here is a look at the complete set of 22 stickers:

 

 

The wrapper mentions there is a "Sticker In Every Pack!"

 

and finally, here is an example of what the 1978-79 Topps Hockey cards look like that came with the stickers:

 

Its too bad Topps didn't do something similar with their Baseball cards at the time, as it would have been nice to have a set like this with Baseball logos.
