Phantom Movie Trading Cards

Advertisement for the Phantom movie trading card series..

The Phantom Movie trading card series was released in 1996 to coincide with the Billy Zane starring film. Released by Inkworks, the series consisted of a base set of 90 cards, three subsets and a promotional card. 30,000 boxes of 100 packs were produced.

Base Set

The base set of 90 cards is divided up into three basic sections. The first section, which consists of cards #1 to 70 retell the events of the film. The second section, being made of cards #71 through 81 gives information of the cast of the film as well as Phantom creator Lee Falk and the Phantom character himself. The third section, made of cards #82 to 90, give information on aspects of the world of the Phantom such as the Skull Cave and the process that went into making the Phantom's costume for the film. Card #90 is the series checklist, but does not list the sub sets.

Cut Scenes

Cards #20, 21, 37, 38 and 41 of the base set depict scenes that were filmed but did not make the final cut of the film (it is possible that card #20 features an image used for promotional purposes, but as this image has not been shown on any promotional material and appears in the story portion of the set this is unlikely).
