Fake/Reproduction Topper Blister Packs

- - Currently there are no known fake or reproduction Topper cards to be concerned with.
  - There are of course always cards that have been resealed to watch out for.

The Challengers! - [1969-1970]

- - The majority of castings face to the left.
  - The first card series is known by the wording which appears on the card... "The Challengers!" which ran from 1969 through 1970
  - The very first cards have a blister which does not have the built in stand.
  - A blister stand was quickly added and we see it on all of the following cards.

- - Cougar cards looked very much like Hot Wheels cards. Mattel won a lawsuit over Topper for this so the rear of the cards were changed to have the 500 Track set shown.
  - A few of the cards received leftover standless blisters instead of the much more common ones with stands.
  - The cards are also known for having the "El Camino" listed in the center column of the car list on the back.
