The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles Trading Cards

Indiana Jones As A kid And A Teenager!?

Waaaay back in the early 1990s George Lucas created a TV series starring Indian Jones as a young boy and teenager.

Episodes followed young Indy as he traveled with his father and mother (along with his nanny) around the world, grew to young manhood, entered the military and began his archeologist career.

The series gave George Lucas the opportunity to test new computer technology and filming techniques that would suit his needs when he released the enhanced and rejuvenated original Star Wars Trilogy using the techniques he learned with Young Indy.

The show was green lit because of the success of the Indiana Jones film The Last Crusade a few years earlier.  Fans were begging from more Indy stories and this was a way to satisfy their wants.

It also gave George the chance to delve to incorporate important historical events into the series and hopefully teach young viewers.

Each episode began with Old Indy, having lost one eye and using a cane, recalling his early adventures to youngsters, strangers or whoever would listen willingly or unwillingly. Unfortunately on the released DVD collection the Old Indy sequences are absent.

The episodes would then continue with either Indy as a young child or as a teenager or young man.  Sean Flannery starred as Indiana Jones.

Pro Set Trading Cards created a set of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles Trading Cards with 36 Packs per Box, 10 Cards per Pack and including 3-D Cards and Viewers in every Pack.  114 Cards make up the Set.

The Cards came in a custom Young Indiana Jones Box with images and logo from the series on its cover.

Each Pack has similar images.

All the Cards are printed on heavy-coated paper stock making them really pop!

In addition the 3-D Cards are printed on matte paper and as an extra added bonus special folded Treasure Cards contains illustrations of many of the articfacts and maps Indy encountered on his adventures are also included.

For fans of the Indiana Jones franchise will discover that the Cards make for a fine visual library of some of Indy’s early adventures that helped make him the man he was.

Full color photos from the series’ entire episodes highlight the key events in each.

I am blessed in that I have one full box unopened and one opened.
