Mini Cup Sticker Set

I posted about the Superman Mini Cups 1979 a few weeks ago. I found the entire mini cup sticker set on sale at eBay earlier. The twelve stickers are from 1979 and feature Superman, Lex Luthor, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Riddler, Joker and Penguin. The mini cups and stickers were found in quarter vending machines.

Superman Mini Cups 1979

In 1979, several characters from DC Comics found themselves on mini cups that were only available in vending machines for a quarter each. I remember getting a few of them one time when I visited my grandmother in western Kansas. They were very fragile and broke easily. The stickers were three by one inch and was a pain to put on the mini cups just right. The mini cups were only one and half inches tall. I remember having Batman, Lex Luthor and two Superman mini cups. Others that I remember being in the set included Aquaman, The Riddler, The Joker and Wonder Woman. Of course, the only ones that have survived are the two Superman mini cups. Here are some pictures of what they look like:

Every once in a while, you will find the mini cups on ebay. They are also called mini mugs but to me they look more like mini teacups. Here is a Penguin mini mug that is on ebay now:
