1978 Topps Mork & Mindy Trading Cards
Product Details
Mork & Mindy helped launch the legend of Robin Williams. A runaway hit its first two seasons, the show spawned lots of commercial, and now collectible, tie-ins. Among them is 1978 Topps Mork & Mindy trading cards. Like the show, the cards' attempts at comedy are somewhat lost today, but there's no denying the energy Williams brings, even when it's translated to a small piece of cardboard.
The 1978 Topps Mork & Mindy set has 99 base cards and another 22 stickers. Base cards use stills from the show that are accompanied by speech bubbles rather than traditional captions. The dialogue is big on gags, one-lines and exclamation points. Fronts have starry borders, matching Mork's intergalactic origins.
Backs are a mix of dialogue excerpts, background on the show and quotes from the cast. Those that aren't puzzle pieces have a large graphic on the top half of the card.
Stickers are inserted one per pack meaning a box has a maximum of one full set. These use a couple of different designs. The first seven are posed studio shots, complete with the background. The remaining 15 are more traditional Topps stickers. While the images are still posed promotional shots, they have the die-cut borders that were common in the era.
The set commands respectable, albeit reasonable, amounts today. It's not terribly tough to track down. However, the combination of age and dark borders means that condition is more of an issue.
1978 Topps Mork & Mindy boxes have 36 packs. Each pack has ten cards and one sticker.
