Notes
Each trading card front is comprised of a triptych, in which the center image gives the name of the set and the card number, while the two images on either side give an illustration of a character. The back of the card has the character image in the center. Each card has die-cut perforations and stamped joint impressions that allow for the interchanging of head and/or body sections from one image to another, creating nine different possible image combinations on each card. The foldees are colored and three of the panels, front and back, feature 44 different DC (Detective Comics) heroes and villains, such as Superman, Wonder Woman, Betsy Ross, Mahatma Gandhi, Viking Warrier, and Frankenstein.
