I happened upon a dozen or so sets of the Starliner Stickers back in the late 1990's/2000ish for like $4.00 a set. I had them with me at the National and Kit Young had sets up for sale for something like $200 a set. I offered them to him at $75-$100 or something and he bought them--all 12 or so just south of that. That was my fun Starliner story.......
They look like stolen Dexter Press images from the mid-to-late 1960's just printed on the sticker backs. If I remember correctly, there are a couple versions of them out there--one with white backs and blue printing and one with kind of a brownish back and either blue/black printing. I would agree completely with the 1980's because that's when I was doing shows and they were all over the place back then. Need to see if I have any singles left laying around anywhere......
