Timeline: This series was released in late 1973 and ran into 1974, (collectors distinctly remember they came out in late 1973, however a shipping case has also turned up with the 1974 date).
Packs: Packs have two stickers, a checklist, and a piece of gum.
Checklists/Puzzle: The flip side of the checklists form a Big Baddy Puzzle
The Titles: There are 32 titles.
- In this series one title was pulled even before release. The title was not replaced, leading to a "hole" in the middle of the 5th series checklist.
  - The title that was pulled is called Nastee Crush.
  - On the uncut sheet Nastee was replaced with Cram.
  - The die-cut was not changed however, leading to two versions of the Cram die-cut shape.
  - Any lingering doubts about whether Nastee was intended for the 5th series were dispelled when Topps auctioned a 5th series proof sheet on eBay with Nastee on it.
Boxes: They used both a blue box and a yellow box for this series.
Copyrights: There are three different copyrights among the 5th series stickers.

The Backs: All stickers are tan backs.
