Introduction

This sticker set and the corresponding album were released to jump on the hottest craze in 1990, our favorite family. Merchandise during this time period all followed the same pattern, leveraging a limited number of images, catch phrases and designs to quickly release items for sale. Like most merchandise released in 1990, and just like The Simpsons Topps Trading cards, using images from the show required using images from The Tracey Ullman Show since they were the easiest to obtain and license. This however presented several issues; the design of our favorite family had evolved from the initial vignettes and the characters had changed and matured. To address this they only used episodes from the third and last season of the vignettes from The Tracey Ullman Show when the character design had evolved closer to that of the first 1989-1990 season of The Simpsons. The album leverages most of the same scenes [but not the same images!] from 8 of the 12 vignettes chosen for the The Simpsons Topps Trading cards from 1990 but unlike the cards presents them in a logical sequence and presents the original story from the vignette.


Stickers Description The set consists of 150 stickers showing Simpsons scenes taken from The Tracey Ullman show to be placed into The Simpsons Sticker Activity Album. The back of each of the stickers shows the sticker number as illustrated on the right and suggests trading your extras with friends to get the ones your missing. 94 of the stickers show 94 different scenes from The Simpsons, as illustrated on the upper right with this scene shown on Sticker #54 from [MG44] Bathtime.

16 of the stickers are used as a pair to show 8 different scenes from The Simpsons, as illustrated on the left with this scene shown on Stickers #3-4 from [MG36] Echo Canyon. Bart and Lisa are reading Bad and Worse and Maggie's book has a pacifier on the front (we've intentionally left white lines between stickers on this illustration and the one below to make the division more obvious!)


Sixteen of the stickers are used four at a time to show 4 different scenes from The Simpsons, as illustrated on the right with this scene shown on Stickers #147-150 from [MG37] Scary Movie showing a terrified Bart and a calm Maggie and Lisa. Lastly, 24 of the stickers are used 12 at a time across 2 pages to illustrate a couch scene. All the the stickers portray a color scene

from the show except these 24, which use red/blue-green outlines to create a motion effect when using the supplied red/blue-green Slide-O-Scope glasses.

The stickers were sold in packs of 6 for 40 cents each in the United States. More information on this below in our packaging section!

The stickers were identical across most countries but in Argentina they decided to print the numbers on the front thereby avoiding the need for a different back on each sticker. More information below in the Argentina section!

Guide to Stickers and Album-to-Episodes Comparison

Entries below have:
- Sticker numbers followed by our description of the sticker(s)
- the actual text from the album (if any)
- If different, the actual dialogue from the show, in blue
- (optionally) additional observations
If the entire scene is out of place/sequence then the entire entry is in red.

Dialogue was often changed to explain what one watching the show would see visually, to simplify the dialogue, or even to correct grammar. However dialogue is also changed to reflect the changes in the show from TTUS to the full half-hour show, particularly the conversion of Lisa from the Bart-like rebel to the refined intellectual... albeit still the rebel.

On the left we have a box / counter display that held 50 packs of stickers, which retailed for $20. Since this box contained 300 stickers one could nearly complete the set of 150 or with trading even complete two sets. Bart is saying Stick it, man!, with this family design echoed on the packets and albums.

	On the left we find a set of five sticker packs and on the right is a "Starter Set" that contained an album and five sticker packs.

The Albums Description James E. Engel and Sidney Diamond filed
for and received patent 4,714,275 on Dec, 22, 1987 for a "Toy Sticker Collection Album and Collectible Stickers Therefore" assigned to Diamond Publishing of Niles, Illinois. In that filing they accurately


described the format of the Simpsons album we see released in 1990, containing places for the stickers and the motion Slide-O-Scope, an
unassembled set (two were included) we show on top of this section, and an almost completely assembled one we show above. The Slide-O-Scope was used to view the images included throughout the book,
including, for example, Lisa Simpson jumping rope on the right. The albums contain 24 pages, except when supplemented by individual manufacturers in other countries. An index describing each of the sections within the album is provided above in the section titled Index to Stickers By Episode & Album Page.


United States & Canada In the United States & Canada albums were published by Diamond Publishing, Inc. and sold for 79 cents. Much of the
cover was in English and French and the back cover of the album was divided between U.S. and Canada providing details on either trading or
buying stickers. Further info on this album can be found in our Simpsons Book List.


United Kingdom & Ireland (1991) Initially the Diamond albums sold in the United States were also used in this overseas market by
Euroflash, using price stickers over the top right hand corner to reflect the U.K. price of 50p and the Eire price of 75p. A large sticker was placed on the back cover to order stickers in the UK.


Euroflash then published albums of their own (printed in Italy) that were identical to the Diamond albums within but on the cover had;
1) the UK and Eire prices 2) the Euroflash logo (as shown here) and 3) had a updated back cover to reflect the UK instructions for ordering stickers.
Further info on this album can be found within our UK Simpsons Book List.


France (1991) In France albums were
published by Euroflash Figurine, and sold for 6,00 francs. The U.S. edition had both the front and back cover in English and French for the Canadian market, but the French edition was entirely in French, with all titles, dialogue and puzzle pages in French. The back cover (as shown on the far right)
also supplied the instructions for sending away to Editions De Tournon in Paris for stickers. Further info on this album, including a free promotional version, can be found within our French Simpsons Book List. This album was also used in Belgium in addition to the Dutch album below.


Netherlands (1991) In Netherlands and Belgium albums were distributed in French and Dutch. For other publications we've seen French albums printed separately from the ones distributed
in France, but only the French albums documented above were sold here. To the right we have the
Dutch album, published by Semic, which sold for 1,50 florins in the Netherlands and 30 Belgium francs in Belgium. Since they did not provide the option for sending away for stickers they simply reprinted the image of OFF on the back cover. This entire album was in Dutch, with Bart on the cover saying "Leeker Plakken Man!". Further info on this album can be found within our Netherlands Book List.


Argentina (1992) In Argentina albums were
published in Spanish by Cromy. All instructions within the Album, all episode titles and all dialogue was translated into Spanish, with Bart on the cover saying "Pegala, Man!". The inside front cover also included a sticker checklist ("Computador") to track your collection.
Four additional pages in full color with a Simpsons introduction and with puzzles and games were added that wrapped the traditional inside contents and all pages were renumbered accordingly. A way of trading or purchasing additional stickers was not
supplied and hence Cromy leveraged the back cover for advertising, as
shown above on the right, including Cromy "Los Simpsons Juego de Naipes", i.e., playing cards, which are themselves documented on our Simpsons Games list here. The stickers themselves were identical except for the addition of the sticker number on the front of each sticker in one of the corners, as illustrated on the above right with sticker #119, thereby saving them the trouble of printing different backs on each sticker to supply the sticker number. The stickers were sold in packs of 5, with a repeated design on the front of the sticker pack with each member of the family, a slice of one design featuring Bart flashing a peace sign shown on the above right.
Argentina was also to follow in 1993 with as Bart Sticker Album "Album de Figuritas Bart" shown here on the bottom right, with a separate set of 174 stickers. Further info on these albums can be found within our Spanish Simpsons Book List.


Other Countries There was also a Peruvian edition of this album for which we are still acquiring additional information and only have a terrible scan, evidence of which appears on the right. We believe there was also a Finnish album and suspect others may eventually be found. Know of any? We would love to hear from you and credit you with supplying the info!
