1979 Topps Rocky II trading cards borrow heavily from the movie set that preceded them with a 99 card set of production stills atop a yellow background.
The boxing mitt title image on the front of each card is red (it was black in the first Rocky series), and includes the title of the card. The backs of each card are either a story, told in parts over the span of several cards, or a piece of a larger image puzzle.
The artwork for the packaging was used as card #5 in the 2018 Wrapper Art series released by Topps.
