Davy Crockett Trading Cards

The first series of Davy Crockett trading cards were released in 1956 when the mania among American kids for all things Davy Crockett was at its height. The cards were well-received by kids and are still highly valued by collectors. There were 88 cards in the set, with 1-cent and 5-cent wrappers known.

Davy Crockett The cards featured full-color photos on the front, with a paragraph of text on the reverse.

The second series of Davy Crockett cards are generally more highly valued than the first series, because the second set was released as kids started to grow tired of the fad. Therefor, far fewer second-series cards were printed, shipped, and put into collections, making them more scarce and thus, more in demand comparatively speaking. Second series cards can be differentiated by their green-colored backs.
