The 1966 Topps Get Smart trading card set is as unique and fun as the television show from which it was inspired.
Every card was a dual-panel front with a perforation down the center. The reverse of each card featured a riddle with a scratch-off panel that revealed the riddle’s answer.
Because the cards were perforated and the backs were “interactive”, it is very uncommon to find cards in pristine quality. That aside, it is still possible to find highly graded cards on the secondary market.
Get Smart, created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry, released 138 episodes over its five season run between 1965 and 1970. The show starred Don Adams as Maxwell Smart — though Adams is best known to children of the 1980s as the voice of Inspector Gadget.
The series has inspired films and attempted spin-offs with varying degrees of success. A 1980 film was a commercial flop with a 17% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 1995 series starring Adams and Andy Dick lasted seven episodes. 2008’s film adaptation, however, was a commercial success.
Titles are found as a caption on the front of each black and white card. Any links appearing within the checklist will direct you to a relevant eBay listing.
