1995 SkyBox Gargoyles trading cards tap into the unusually dark Disney cartoon. While most of the checklist is, understandably, centered on breaking down the show, there are some various chase elements and inserts to go with it.
1995 SkyBox Gargoyles Checklist Details
The majority of the 90-card base set revolves around recapping various episodes. However, it does get a little more specific for the back third or so with Profiles, Good vs. Evil, Statistics and a nine-card puzzle.
Like many of SkyBox’s mid-1990s Disney sets, Pop-Ups are among the inserts. Landing one per pack, these are sometimes included with complete base sets but they are separate. Despite the darker tone, Gargoyles was still a kids show — it just attracted some older viewers as well. Pop-Ups add an interactive element that need to be put together and then set out for display or played with. A lot of card collectors, though, keep them in tact so that top condition is maintained.
Embossed Foil cards are also available, but as an exclusive to jumbo packs where they land one per.
Double-Sided Spectra cards have textured foil on both sides showing both live and stone versions of lead characters. With just four cards, there aren’t many to track down but they are somewhat tougher at 1:24 packs.
The final insert is a SkyMotion card that uses lenticular technology to rotate through multiple images. Inserted in packs as a redemption, these were 1:90 packs. For a single-card set, that’s not ridiculously tough, but the timeframe with which they could be redeemed was finite so there aren’t a ton of these available at any given time.
Adding a promotional element, there was also a redemption for collectors to get a copy of a Gargoyles VHS tape.
A second set of Gargoyles trading cards came out later in 1995.
