[Gordon Currie Cards]


Very little is known about this mysterious set. A New York trading card company called Rainbow Card Co. (which claims to specialize in "scarce regional limited edition card sets") began selling the set in their 1997 spring catalog for $14.95. The set consists of 8 black & white cards of unusual size measuring 1-3/4 inches by 3-5/8 inches. The set features caricatures of all 7 main cast members plus the Robot. The back of the cards are plain white except for a 1967 Gordon Currie copyright statement and a "Printed in USA" slogan. The cards appear to be unlicensed but since they are caricatures it's possible that licensing was not required.

Was this card set genuinely first issued in 1967 or is it a 1997 reprint? Perhaps it was originally drawn in 1967 but not published until now? These are burning questions still puzzling collectors. One rumor is that this set along with similar sets made for Star Trek and the Beatles were originally vendor machine prizes but this is yet to be confirmed.

If you actually acquired one of these sets back in the 60s or have any further information we would be very glad to hear from you.
