FUN FACTS and TIDBITS

1. The 44 Card Set is slightly Different From the 66 Card Set. The puzzle pieces in both sets are the same and face the same direction when the card is flipped to the backside, but the card backs with the "walls of wizdom" face (or read) to the right in the 44 card set, and the card backs face (or read) to the left in the 66 card set when flipped to the backside.


2. The series has One Puzzle.

3. The Checklists in both sets Are also Different.


4. The Images On the Box of both print runs Are Different.  The image on the 2nd print run box is  larger than the image on the 1st print run box.

5. The Wrappers for both print runs Are Different.  The first print run wrapper  does not have the "Topps" logo on it and the plastic packs contain 5 stickers.  The second print run wrapper has the "Topps" logo,  The "BB" is written in metallic because of the foil wrapper, and the packs contain only 4 stickers.

6. Card Examples:  3a "Urine AL", 4b "Cyberspacin' JASON", 30a "Caught COURTNEY ".


7. The series has Two Cards With the Same First Name: cards 14B "Desperate DAN" and 31B "DAN Lather".

1. For the 2nd series that was unreleased, 14 pieces were Drawn By Tom Bunk. In 2003 Tom Bunk was kind enough and sent me scans of all 14 original artwork pieces for the 2nd series Bathroom Buddies fronts that he completed for Topps.

2. For the 2nd series that was unreleased, 3 pieces were Completed By John Pound, though not all of the artwork was returned. In 2005 John Pound was gracious enough and sent me scans of all 3 original artwork pieces for the 2nd series Bathroom Buddies fronts that he completed for Topps.







3. Artist Jay Lynch completed the concept art for the series. Several images were usually slightly changed by the artists for the final artwork.















4. Bathroom Buddies Toilet Bowl Candy Dispensers were released in Canada with candy filled toilet bowls and a tank holding a sticker with bathroom humor on it, no images from the set were used on the stickers, only on the display box. Bathroom Buddies toilet bowl candy dispensers were also released in the United Kingdom, but the stickers within the tank portion of the toilet bowl had images from the Bathroom Buddies set. The total number of stickers within the set is unkown since the stickers are unnumbered. Pictures provided by Robert Griffin.
