1992 Topps In Living Color Trading Cards
Product Details
At its peak, In Living Color was one of the funniest shows on TV. It gave us such characters as Homey D. Clown, The Head Detective and Fire Marshall Bill. But with a lot of the humor rooted in timely satires, reruns don't hold up as well as when they first aired. The show will likely be best remembered as the launching pad for several careers including Jim Carrey, Jamie Foxx, Damon Wayans and even Jennifer Lopez. And they're all in the set of 1992 Topps In Living Color trading cards, a somewhat overlooked release that captures the show's stars and spirit of the 1990s.
The base set has 88 cards. Most are skit highlights taken from the show. There are also a handful of cards showcasing the lead actors like Keenen Ivory Wayans, Kelly Coffield, Tommy Davidson and Carrey (back when he went by James). The design definitely reflects the era the set comes from. Borders have more reds and blues than a pair of old Cross Colours pants and shirts from back in the day. Backs are equally busy with floating heads of several key characters dotting the outside of the wavy frame that holds the card's writeup.
1992 Topps In Living Color also has 11 stickers. These are inserted one per pack. These have a similar layout on the front with the bright yellow borders switched out for blue ones. The colorful arrow icons remain. Stickers highlight some of the show's most memorable characters. Backs form a puzzle of the Fly Girls.
One would think that a set releasing in 1992 would be easy to come by. While by no means rare, 1992 Topps In Living Color trading cards aren't overly common either. As a result, it shouldn't be held in the same regard as a lot of other junk wax. Don't expect to have to pay huge amounts either, though.
