Weren't there TMNT trading cards of Mirage stuff?

DK2 · 07-08-2011, 01:02 AM

I seem to recall that the TMNT had trading cards based off the old comics/Mirage stuff. I remember an ad from the Comic Shop News paper from the late '80's or early '90's. Can anyone tell me if it is all Mirage art or not and who made it? How many cards and what sub card sets are in it? I found one result on ebay. All the other results seem to be of the cartoons or the 3 films trading cards respectively.
Hers the one result one:

Does anyone have any images of some of the cards?

The box in the picture is a deluxe set of the first cartoon series from Topps. In addition to the 99 cards of that series, there are 22 cards of Mirage art, which are mostly comic book covers and such. I don't have a picture handy, though.

The Movie 3 cards from Topps also had some art, but none of it was from Mirage artists.

Didn't they come with bubble gum in the package as well?

Oh thanks all. So this card set wasn't really what I thought it'd actually be? I thought about pursuing this set but I don't thinks its worth it for just 22 cards of Mirage art. I really wasn't into TMNT old toon. But I've seen some of it tho. Maybe I'll change my mind too tho.
