1963 Topps Beverly Hillbillies Trading Cards
Product Details
Based on one of the most beloved TV sitcoms of all-time, 1963 Topps Beverly Hillbillies trading cards remain extremely popular. Offering the same corny humor that made the Clampetts household names, the set is one of the most collected vintage sets of the television era.
At 66 cards, 1963 Topps Beverly Hillbillies isn't a huge set. However, given the strong prices singles command, particularly in top condition, and piecing together a set can be challenging.
Card fronts feature a colorized shot, often of multiple characters. The show was still done in black and white at the time of the set's release, so these cards offered a different look for the show and its stars. The photo is surrounded by a thin white border. The bottom of the picture has a black oval that has the show's name. Underneath is a caption, usually a gag to go with the photo. A handful of cards also focus on specific characters.
Card backs have an orange border with line illustrations of the Clampetts. A box in the middle, headlined "Hillbilly Gags," has jokes done in the form of dialogue. There's also a note reminding collectors to watch the show on Wednesday nights. The bottom has a Beverly Hillbillies sub-headline and the card number shown inside a barrel.
Cards were available in both one-cent and five-cent packs.
While 1963 Topps Beverly Hillbillies trading cards aren't exactly scarce, they are one of the tougher TV sets for the era. This has resulted in strong prices for both raw and professionally graded cards. The iconic status of the show, even today, also helps create interest.
