Captivating kids all around the United States and Canada during the 1950s and 1960s, youth of America during that time were more often than not dreaming of defending Gotham City as Batman and of a fabled Disneyland vacation in sunny Anaheim, California. Hoping to capitalize on the popularity of those two things, O-Pee-Chee would release a Canadian version of the Topps Batman Black Bat set in 1966 while Donruss would put out a Disneyland release the year prior in 1965. Offered here, are both assemblies in complete form. Starting with the Batman set, complete at 55-cards, the group is seen as being in a consistent uniform condition of EX to EX-MT in our opinions after inspection with the exceptions being card's 16-The Penguin Trap, 39-"To The Batcave" and 50-Beastly Encounter. For the set's notable offerings, card #9 of The Joker is seen as being in the range of EX-MT to NM condition with slight wear to one (1) corner while card #36 of The Riddler is also viewed as being EX-MT to NM with a tiny amount of wear to the top left corner. Additionally, card #2 of Robin falls in the range of EX to EX-MT condition (slight wear to 3 of 4 corners) with card #1 of The Batman in the scope of VG-EX to EX with a light stain on the reverse and a bottom left corner ding. Finally, card #27 of Batwoman falls into the neighbourhood of VG to VG-EX with a light crease at the top left.
For the Disneyland set, complete at 66-cards and released to celebrate the park's 10th anniversary, the group is seen as being in a uniform NM condition with the lone exception being card #37-The Wonders of Liquid Space, which shows a smudge along the top border. Showing various elements of the park and its attractions, from a historical perspective, it's interesting to see many attractions that no longer exist as well as others that have undergone drastic changes.throughout the entire set. Additionally, the card backs go together to form a massive puzzle that showcases many of the animated Disney characters. An excellent grouping of pop culture offerings, don't miss out on these!
