Product Details
Over the years, The Goonies has become a classic. Now one generation is passing the adventure on to the next. But what some might not know is that there's a set of cards that coincided with the film's release. 1985 Topps Goonies trading cards are a simple and relatively inexpensive piece of nostalgia for a beloved film that doesn't have a daunting amount of licensed collectibles.
The set has 86 base cards that recap the film with both character and story synopsis cards. There is also a deleted scene with an octopus that is covered fairly extensively, especially given the fact that it ultimately made the cutting room floor. Cards have a black outer border with an inner border that's made to look like a map. Most of the photos are taken directly from the film but a couple go behind the camera to showcase the makeup and effects.
Card backs have a red silhouette of the Goonies gang and Sloth cast against a yellow background. The front caption is repeated and complimented by a brief write up. A ribbon at the bottom encourages collectors to move on to the next card.
The 1985 Topps Goonies set also has a set of stickers. Depending on how complete you want your set to be, there is either 15 stickers or 22. While there are only 15 different stickers, seven of them have variation backs with different puzzle pieces. None are believed to be short printed. As a result, full master sets of 22 stickers are very affordable.
1985 Topps Goonies boxes have 36 packs. Each pack has ten cards, a sticker and a very stale stick of gum.
