1991 Topps Hook trading cards came towards the end of an era for entertainment cards. It’s one of the last to keep the classic Topps structure of basic cards and a few easy-to-find stickers. Shortly after, more complicated insert structures took hold and the hobby hasn’t looked back since.
The 1991 Topps Hook base set retells much of the Steven Spielberg Peter Pan sequel over the course of 99 cards. Robin Williams (Peter Pan) and Dustin Hoffman (Captain Hook) are prominent throughout the checklist but this is one of those sets that doesn’t have one of its lead characters. Julia Roberts was at the peak of her career at the time. She had an important supporting role as Tinkerbell. Yet the only time the character appears in the set is through production art. It’s likely a case of Topps not being granted rights to Roberts’ likeness.
In addition to the main set are 11 stickers. Inserted one per pack, it’s not difficult to complete. The backs of the stickers go together to form the film’s logo, appropriately enough, a hook.
Hook has aged well over the years and is remembered fondly by those who watched it as kids. And while it was still a blockbuster during its release, it was still considered something of a disappointment at the box office given the high stature of its cast, the film’s pedigree and the fact that it was directed by Steven Spielberg. That might explain, at least in part, why so much unopened product remains on the market still today. As a result, 1991 Topps Hook trading cards remain on the very affordable side of things.
