Your initial impression might be to snicker at the thought of iCarly trading cards. But they do exist. And they’re one of the toughest entertainment products to find of its era. As a result, 2009 Topps iCarly is a fairly valuable set considering the basic formula it uses.
2009 Topps iCarly Base Set and Inserts
The 90-card base set centers on images from the show. Given how intentionally corny it was from the get-go, there’s plenty that comes across as silly once it’s converted to still images and given matching captions.
Costume cards are the most popular of the chase elements. Inserted 1:46 packs, that’s approximately every other box. Eight cards make up the checklist although only Carly, Sam and Freddie are included.
Every pack has an insert, most often a basic Sticker. These have a mix of photos and graphics on the front and puzzle pieces on the back. Computer Clingys are intended to be removable stickers meant to decorate a laptop or computer deck. Finally, there are five lenticular Motion cards.
Originally intended to be a full release, it looks as though hobby orders were cancelled and was limited to only retail. That would explain the set’s rarity and spotty distribution.
