1985 Sears Newspaper Ad Featuring G.I. Joe, Transformers, M.A.S.K., and More!
This 1985 Sears advertisement is a perfect example of why it pays to scan through the Google newspaper archives and not trust the search feature to find everything. This issue has many pages upside down, sideways, and not indexed by the search engine, meaning that without scrolling through page by page I never would have located this ad. It was definitely a color advertisement when it was first published, but even this B&W version of the ad gives us enough information to check prices and availability of toys for Christmas in 1985.
