1971 Topps Brady Bunch Checklist

1971 Topps Brady Bunch trading cards can be a bit of an adventure for collectors to track down.

For starters, there is a discrepancy between the release year so graded cards can be found listed as 1969 or 1971. These are the same sets. The copyright for this set is labeled as 1969 but they were not officially released for two more years.

To further add to the confusion, a test set of 55 cards was released in 1970. The only difference between these cards and the standard 88 card set is text on the reverse of each card referencing a specific sized set.

The front of each card is a still from the television series set inside a border designed to look like a television console. The reverse of the cards combines to make larger puzzle images.

The sustained popularity of this iconic television show has kept prices for this set fairly healthy and highly graded cards are common on the marketplace.

In 2018, Topps included the packaging for this set in their 80th Anniversary Wrapper Art trading cards.

The Brady Bunch released 117 episodes over the course of five seasons between 1969 and 1974. In the 1980s and ’90s several reunion specials and spin-offs were produced with varying degrees of success. 1981’s The Brady Brides, for example, lasted only 10 episodes and 1990’s The Bradys lasted only six.
