The Man From UNCLE


Topps released their card set devoted to The Man From UNCLE in 1966. There were 55 cards in the set.

American agent Napoleon Solo (Robert Vaughn) and Russian man Illya Kuryakin (David McCallum) team up in the international organization U.N.C.L.E. (United Network Command for Law Enforcement) to take on all threats to world peace, up to and including the evil group known as T.H.R.U.S.H. (Technological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humanity).

The card fronts offer a black and white photo still from the series, or else a posed photograph, surrounded by a white border and with a blue facsimile autograph by the actor pictured. The card backs are all puzzle pieces.
