The Flying Nun
Donruss released their Flying Nun card set in 1968. There were 66 cards in the set.
Yes, someone thought it was a good idea to make a TV series about a nun who could fly, and apparently enough people agreed for the
show to get made and air on ABC for 3 seasons. Sally Field, fresh off the Gidget series, starred as Sister Bertrille, who had the
unexplained ability.
The card fronts feature a color photo still from the show, surrounded by an ornate light-blue border containing the card number and
copyright line. There was also a card caption superimposed on the photo, in white or black type. The card backs were all puzzle
pieces.
Value: Each card in this series, in Excellent condition, can be found for about $2.00; a full set of 66 can be had for about
$125.00 to $150.00.
