1968 Topps Land of the Giants Checklist, Trading Cards Info

1968 Topps Land of the Giants brings the Irwin Allen Sci-fi television series to trading cards. While the set itself is straight forward, building it is no small task. That’s because it’s one of Topps’ test issues from the era that saw limited distribution. As a result, finding the cards today can be a challenge.

Consisting of just 55 cards, this isn’t a big set by today’s standards. For the late ’60s, it was actually fairly normal. Rather than recapping full stories, cards jump around. At the start, many offer brief introductions to the show’s characters. Much of the rest shows a little more action and the oversized world in which the program existed.

Both a caption and a blurb are on the front with the image. Backs are colorful comic strips.

While all of the manufacturer’s test issues are hard to find to some extent, 1968 Topps Land of the Giants is one of the scarcest. Singles rarely surface today.

A similar set was released in Europe through A&BC. More Land of the Giants trading cards are also part of 2004 Rittenhouse Fantasy Worlds of Irwin Allen.
