Yeah, I know you collect this kind of stuff, so I was lucky to nab it. I wonder what that CNE Videodome was. I can't find anything online about it.

Being that Apollo was based out of Texas, I wonder if it was some convention held at the Astrodome? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be. I hadn't thought of that. I'll search some more online using the Astrodome as a reference. Thanks, Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll capture an image of each one on my scanner, and I'll attach them to this thread later tonight. I'm glad you liked them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the museum, do you have any stickers from this set that are different from the ones I posted? Just curious to know if I might have a complete set. Thanks.

Ballblaɀer Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 CNE is most likely the Canadian National Exhibtion held annually in Toronto. The Cronenberg movie “Videodrome” was filmed/produced in Toronto, too, so perhaps there was some kind of tie-in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading online that there are shows, attractions and exhibits at the CNE. So it's possible that these stickers were give-aways at an Apollo exhibit at the CNE; I'm guessing maybe in 1982. And perhaps Videodome was the name of the venue where the exhibit took place. Then there's the possible tie-in with the movie, as you mentioned. Really interesting. Thanks once again for this info.

I totally misread “Videodome” as “Videodrome”! Looks like I need a little more sleep. Ah well, I think the CNE bit is still correct… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+cvga Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Wow, I love this type of stuff. Did you purchase them from someone in the United States? I've seen a bunch of stickers recently from a seller in (iirc) Belgium. I bought some Activision ones. He was a super nice guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased them from a seller in Canada. And I think I remember the stickers you're talking about - the ones from Belgium. Those were really nice.
