1990 Topps Simpsons Checklist and Trading Cards Details

Ad

Arriving not long after the show’s debut, 1990 Topps Simpsons marks the trading card debut of the iconic animated family.

1990 Topps Simpsons Pack

Like the early episodes, the set is a little rough and it lacks the depth that would go on to be a cornerstone of the show. That said, there’s a dark wit to the humor that you won’t find in later sets of Simpsons trading cards.

The base set consists of 88 cards. Cards take on a console TV theme with images coming from stills from the show. Instead of captions, it’s character dialogue. Catchphrases run throughout the checklist with Bart getting the most attention. This was standard for a lot of early Simpsons merchandise as he was treated as the center of the show, almost like a mascot. That has evolved, but it is apparent here.

Characters on the cards don’t stray outside of the Simpson household. Only Bart, Lisa, Maggie, Homer and Marge appear in the set — at least on the card fronts. The backs are a different story.

About half of the set features character trivia. There’s also a massive puzzle consisting of 40 cards that covers many of Springfield’s other residents. They’re not named but they are present a little.

Stickers

In addition to the base set, 1990 Topps Simpsons has 22 stickers. These land one per pack. Unlike most sticker inserts from the company over the decades, these aren’t kiss cut so that just the main part of the sticker could be peeled. Rather, it’s the entire front that comes off, background and all.

Topps’ sticker insert typically come with one of two styles of backs, blank and puzzles. Here, it’s different. Each sticker has a different Bart Simpson chalkboard gag.

1990 Topps Simpsons trading cards can be found with two different pack and box configurations. Standard wax packs have eight cards and one sticker with 36 packs per box. Jumbo packs, which are 24 per box, have 16 cards and one sticker.
