In 1977, Stani published in Argentina the same set of 55 (red-bordered) King Kong cards
that Topps published in the USA a few months earlier in 1976. Also 5 additional cards were
included in the set, made in a round shape a.k.a. POGs (a classic format in Argentina).
One of those extra cards featured Jeff Bridges (#2), which as is known, was not included in
any of the cards originally published by Topps. It was a big omission, most likely caused by
rights issues. The other three round cards feature King Kong (#1, #4 and #5), and one of
them features Jessica Lange (#3).
Similar King Kong (Topps) cards were also manufactured in Australia, Mexico and New
Zealand, but as far as is known, none of those sets include Jeff Bridges. So we could affirm,
that Stani's card is the only one that features the famous American actor in one of his iconic
roles from one of the most famous films of all time.
Miraculously, these examples were never glued into an album, and incredibly rare, they are
still mounted in their original pieces of cardboards (just as they came in the packs in the late
70s). The Jeff Bridges card came along with another round card from the same series.
