THE ADDAMS FAMILY DONRUSS TRADING CARDS |
Updated: February 16, 2024
Donruss 1964 The Addams Family remains one of the most popular sets of vintage trading cards despite the fact they're based on a
show that lasted just two seasons. Despite a relatively short life as far as first-run episodes go, The Addams Family has survived
and thrived thanks in part to decades of reruns on TV and DVD, and a pair of movie remakes. Impossible to forget, Gomez, Morticia
and the rest of the ghoulish family delivered a fantastic mix of harmless horror and silly sitcom laughs.
Donruss The Addams Family is a fairly straight forward release. The checklist has 66 cards, all of which have a black and white
photo on the front and a puzzle on the back. Card fronts have a white border with a red caption under the picture. This is followed
by copyright info and a note encouraging collectors to collect the entire set.
All 66 cards fit together to form one huge puzzle a portrait of the family. When laid out, the puzzle is six cards wide and 11 cards high. A Canadian version of the set exists. Ironically, these cards have "Printed in the USA" stamped below the picture. The regular versions do not have the stamp. The Donruss Addams Family cards are still highly collected. Even though they're not particularly
rare, singles can still run several dollars. Professionally graded cards can run into the hundreds with an extremely high grade.
