1982 Topps E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial Trading Cards Collection
This collection consists of vintage 1982 Topps trading cards and an original wax pack wrapper based on the Steven Spielberg film 'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.' Featured are eight individual movie photo cards and one partially visible wax wrapper, all housed in a transparent plastic 9-pocket archival sleeve. Each card features a blue celestial-patterned border and includes a circular 'E.T.' logo in the bottom corner. Notable card titles visible include 'Stranded!', 'Mysterious Glow!', 'Elliott's Search', 'Fright in the Woods', 'An Alarmed E.T.!', and 'The Vigil.' The top left position contains a red and yellow wax pack wrapper which originally held '10 Cards, 1 Sticker, and 1 Stick Bubble Gum.' The condition of the cards appears fair to good for leur age, with some visible surface abrasions on the plastic sleeve and potential softening of corners on the paper cards. The cards exhibit the classic 1980s offset lithography printing style with rich, saturated colors typical of Topps products from this era. Copyright details from Universal City Studios, Inc. (1982) are visible on the card fronts and wrapper. As a mass-produced pop culture artifact, the set represents early 1980s cinematic merchandising and is sought after by nostalgic collectors of science fiction memorabilia.
