Joe K. Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 .Others in the series? The "Robbie" card is in the upper right hand corner, but has a card number of 92 on it, not 13.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robothut Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Joe these seem to be produced by NU-Cards back in the early 1960's. they even have Dr. satins Robot. http://belatednerd.com/tag/trading-cards/ The ones below, made by Nu-Cards, didn’t even come with a stick of gum! Like the Spook Stories cards, these included “horrible” jokes on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robothut Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Seems to be NU-Cards in 1961. here is a ebay auction for a bot card from them as well. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1961-NU-CARDS-HORROR-MONSTERS-74-THE-MYSTERIANS-RARE-POPULAR-CARD-/310725614139 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robothut Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Now since your first post of the Robbie card has a different number and Robbie is not spelled Robby I have to wonder what the deal is. Maybe they did a sci fi series or robot series besides the monster series. Maybe if they spelled Robbie wrong they did not have to pay MGM as much ?

robothunter Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Awesome trading cards. I had a couple of these when I was a kid but can't remember where I got them. Never saw the Robby one until I started collecting Robby as an adult. Thanks for posting all the cool photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
