The 1980 FTCC Rocky Horror Picture Show trading card series was fairly small and basic but just like the movie that inspired this set, it has a cult following. Cards and sealed packs are readily available on eBay and usually for reasonable prices.
The set contains 60 cards with images taken from the film and card backs are plain card stock with a number, title, stock photo, and title logo. The most valuable card in the set may be #9 which features Meatloaf as Eddie. Meatloaf’s blockbuster album, Bat Out of Hell, was released in 1977 right between the release of Rocky Horror Picture Show and this trading card set and this card is often labeled as his “rookie” card.
