1976 Topps King Kong

1976 King Kong:  I'm not hitting the store much nowadays so I went back to Bob Rewak's eBay store for some non-sport packs.  King Kong packs were a little more pricey than the cheap packs I normally go for but the movie is so iconic and I love it.  I was eight when it came out and I was instantly a fan.  This close up is a great photo of Kong's face.     
I like the designs on these overall.  There isn't a ton going on but it works.  Odd putting the copyright on the front of the card.  I'm OK with having the card number on the front.  Different and doesn't take away from the card.
  The backs for most parts are part of a larger puzzle.  A few do have a brief description.  On the right is a sticker.  On the cards I pulled I liked the screen grabs.  In some sets they can be hit or miss but I'm happy with these.
The pack did come with a piece of gum.  It was on the back of one the cards and the stain wasn't too bad for being so old.  I'm really glad I picked up this pack.  Fun cards and an all-time favorite movie of mine.
