Green Hornet Photos
Donruss released this set of Green Hornet Photos cards in 1966. There were 44 cards in the set.
The Green Hornet was invented for a 1936 radio serial and has continued to pop up now and then in popular entertainment ever since, up to and including the current big-screen comedic adaptation featuring Seth Rogan. Arguably the most ubiquitous appearance of the character, though, was in the mid-60's TV series starring Van Williams as the title character and Bruce Lee as his chauffeur and secret weapon, Kato.
The card fronts depict a color photo still from the TV series, surrounded by a white border and showing a small but stylish Green Hornet Photos logo to the lower left.
The card backs feature puzzle pieces, but about 1/3 of the area is taken up by a green section with the set title, card number, and a brief block of text about the image, along with the copyright matter.
Value: Individual cards in this set, in Excellent condition, can bring about $5.00 each, with a full set commanding about $250.00.
