The Best Of Trading Cards - Absolute Vintage Bliss

 

I've been loving these lately, it makes me think of how much I adored illustrations throughout my entire life. 



These are Old Maid trading cards. They're extremely vintage, really well-drawn and detailed, what I admire about these in particular is the creative names of the characters. 







These are so original and unique, each character has a distinct and simple style in every card. 




These were mostly made in the early 20th century, back when the medium of art actually had care and real talent in all aspects.


There is a variety of different artists and different illustrations which is nice. 




But still, it let's you invest in these one-off inventive characters.







Here's some rare Mickey Mouse cards from the same brand. I really like this because the characters have some natural color schemes and fun designs.




Ever wondered what could've happened if Giddy Goat was a cartoon star, he looked like he would team with Goofy, Horace and Clarabelle.





Now here's some other trading cards, these are from the early 80s. It's really appealing and worth the merchandising. Each card resembles a short from Donald Duck's filmography, like Donald's Diary, and Donald Applecore.









Now here's some Mickey Mouse cards. This has way more of a great selection of shots from the older cartoons.










Here's something to awaken your senses. These are Topps Ugly Stickers, these are creepily interesting. It's very detailed and extremely well-drawn. Drawn by Basil Wolverton. He designs alot of grotesque stuff, but I can't complain. I kinda like it. 








Now here's a pack of cards I grew up with and was obsessed with, Wacky Packages, these were the most hilarious products you'll ever witness. They made over one million of these.






Would it be great if there were ever cards starring these guys?
