IDENTIFICATION
This is an original 1983 licensed Flash Gordon glitter sticker sheet produced by Diamond Toymakers under King Features Syndicate authorization. The artwork style and character designs correspond directly to early 1980s Flash Gordon merchandising tied to the cult resurgence of the franchise following the 1980 Dino De Laurentiis film and syndicated reruns.
Each sticker is individually die-cut with raised edges and metallic glitter backgrounds, still affixed to the original uncut backing sheet, which is critical for collector value. Individual character names and internal production codes (e.g., J010–J013) are visible, confirming factory originality rather than later reproduction.

CONDITION ASSESSMENT
Overall Condition: Very Good to Excellent (VG+/EX)
• Stickers remain unused and intact on the original backing
• Glitter areas retain strong color saturation with no flaking observed
• Minor surface impressions / pressure lines visible on the backing and clear vinyl layer, consistent with factory stacking or long-term flat storage
• No ink transfer, pen marks, or tears, minor sticker lifting noted on some
• Edges show light manufacturing or storage-related impressions, not post-use damage
These faint lines are typical of vintage sticker sheets from the period and do not materially detract from authenticity or desirability.
