There were two sets of Marvel bubble gum stickers produced by Topps in the 1970s:
Marvel Super Heroes Stickers (1976)Comic Book Heroes (1975)
Unopened boxes

**The single or double asterisks may be the test market version and the wide market version, but no one can say for sure. Because I seem to find them in equal quantities, I think it may have just been different print runs. I collect them both anyway.
Both sets have a checklist, each of which is a puzzle piece, which, together form a comic book cover:
1975: 1976:
Both sets of checklists/puzzles were printed on both white cardboard, and tan paper. I’m trying to collect sets of both.

There are actual variants (the phrases are different), and trademark variants (differences in copyright or trademark details).
Actual Variant:
Trademark Variants:
As far as I know, the 1976 set has 40 stickers, with six actual variants and no trademark variants.
Actual Variants:
For every variant, I collect the original with one asterisk, the original with two asterisks, the variant with one asterisk, and the variant with two asterisks.
As far as I know, the 1975 set has 40 stickers, with one actual variant and three trademark variants.
Actual Variants:
This was the hardest set for me to complete.
