The next few posts will be of the 1981 Topps movie photo card series of Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark.
There were 88 cards in this set including one title card and one checklist card. There were 4 character cards. The rest of the set was made up of colour scenes from the movie inside a snake design frame. On the back of the cards is some narrative describing the scene portrayed on the front of the card. This made a change from many other Topps sets which would usually have a puzzle-back.
Here is the title card and it's backing.
What's Topps about this card?
1. It's the title card...speaks for itself
2. A sort of rarity at the time as most card sets at the time jumped straight in with a character card or action card...but these were the 80's...crazy times!
3. The ladies (not that there would be many lady card collectors) could swoon over the handsome looks of Mr Harrison Ford in that famous adventurers hat.
