Pee Wee's Playhouse
Topps - 1989

Notes:  The complete set is very, very difficult to complete because the activity
cards were distributed with only a few different ones per case, and are suspected
to have had numerous short-prints.  (Though, it's hard to tell for sure because the
short-prints might all be in the unopened cases.)  Even if collation were perfect, it 
is not possible to complete a set from a single display box - There were more 
1:pack stickers than there were packs in a box.  Picture cards have two variations 
per number, based on what items are shown in the blue background; a set is often 
considered "complete" with a 33-card numbered set instead of the 66-card 
variation set.  The three mask/disguise activity cards also also had mirror-image 
variations that are not considered necessary for a basic set of 123 items; a 
complete variation set consists of 123+33+3 or 159 items.  A lot of collectors 
will satisfy themselves with the basic card set plus wiggle toys and tattoos 
before pursuing the really difficult items required for a complete master set.
Many thanks to Richard Law Orloski for all lists except for the base cards
and copious details on the variations!

Box: 36 packs of 3 picture cards + 1 wiggle toy + 1 tattoo sheet + 1 activity card
