FLEER PAC-MAN CARDS 1980-82

With the 30th anniversary of Pac-Man I thought it would be an excellent time to do a post on Fleer Pac-man cards/stickers.
There are three sets of cards Fleer produced based on the Pac-man game:

Pac-Man 1980
Ms. Pac-Man 1981
Super Pac-Man 1982

The first Pac-Man card series had two different wrappers white/yellow background and each wax-pack contained 3 stickers, 3 rub-off game cards and a stick of bubble gum.

There's quite a few variations of the same cards with different eyes on Pac-man and colors. This set had 54 stickers with the characters usually saying clever things with word bubbles.

Some of these are pretty bizarre...

FLEER PAC-MAN 1980
Kiss my Pac-man?

Pac-man does it with monsters?

Here are the sticker scans:

The game cards could be scratched off like lottery tickets to try and find the safe path through.

The second set of cards was a Ms. Pac-man set in 1981. This set also had 54 stickers along with the game cards.

The third Pac-man card series was called Super Pac-man and came out in 1982. I'm not sure if this series had the rub-offs, it may have been just the 54 stickers this time? Once again some really strange cards.

SUPER PAC-MAN FLEER 1982

This time Pac-man has discovered Viagra.

Also Pac-man has a craving for Burger King?

There is a contest involved in this series.
