Each pack of Sports Cars came with a license plate sticker. So far I've gotten 40 different. I had thought maybe there were 51 (50 + DC; as DC sticker exists), but now think maybe only 40. Here are the 11 states I've never seen. Anyone come across them?
Alaska, Arkansas, Hawaii, Idaho, Missouri, Montana, New Hamshire, Nevada, Utah, Vermont, Wyoming.

I just have to add, the Topps Sports Cars set was always a big dream factory for me. Something (or things) that we might sometime be able to own and drive ourselves. The Topps Wings set was all to crazy; too large, expensive and military oriented. For my money, aviation wise, nothing will ever beat the Wings Cigarettes card from the 1930s. Some of those same small planes they showed, are the same designs that where built over and over again for many years; until the insurance industry killed all the small plane manufactures. And yet, many of those planes are still flying today, due to the fact the their quality out shined almost every other industry in this country; if not the entire modern world.

I love the fact that Wings is Military oriented, and has that "friend for foe" motiff going on the back of each card. It's like they expected the kids to form a country wide air watching force, spying for the authorities and calling in all the "wrong" air shapes they spot. Too bad they didn't include a hotline to report such intruders. Dial something like 1-800-Red Wing!

Dan, I've got a bunch of stuff on Topps Wings cards on my Web site. I'm working on a reference page with links to Wiki entries for all 200 planes. Check it out.
