Batman Movie Cards

This is the set of Trading Cards that got me back into the non-sports Trading Cards hobby.

In 1989 director Tim Burton, inspired by Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns mini-series, wrote and directed the first Batman movie starring Michael Keaton.

When the movie came out Topps Trading Cards released a Limited Edition Set of Batman Movie Trading Cards.

They came in a special flip lid Box decorated with photos and production art from the film.

Here’s where it gets interesting.  One hundred and thirty Cards make up the Base Set.

On the Box it states that 22 additional Stickers are included.

Obviously Topps changed the contents because 22 Puzzle Cards were included, not Stickers.

There is also 11 movie production Art Cards in the set.

I don’t know the reason for the switch from Stickers to Puzzle Cards-perhaps there was trouble with the Stickers themselves.

Regardless, the Cards are printed on gloss paper and feature some cool images and the Box is equally cool.

Matthew 26:41 (NKJV) “Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
