1996 DuoCards It’s a Wonderful Life Checklist, Trading Cards Details

Ad

1996 DuoCards It’s a Wonderful Life trading cards take on one of the most beloved films of all-time. The configuration is simple and so is the design. But with nothing else in the way of mainstream releases, it’s all collectors currently have for the movie in the way of cards.

The base set has 72 cards, breaking down all the major parts of the story. The front design is simple with a still from the film and the movie’s title done in subtle silver foil. Other than that, there are no major design elements. Backs offer details write-ups.

1996 DuoCards It’s a Wonderful Life has a couple of inserts. The majority come from the Chromium set. These recreate posters and iconic promotional art with the metallic look.

A Talking Card was available via redemption. The case hit came in a larger frame. When the card is activated, it repeats the famous line about angels getting their wings.

A mail-in offer adds six additional cards to the checklist. Often, mail-away offers lead to rare cards. That’s not the case here. While not incredibly common, they’re not much harder to find than many other parts of the product.
