    They are really nice. Very thick, I think meant to be a bit more than just a card. Inside has a little story about the character.

    Congratulations, @Lucille.b ! Looks like those are from the "Land of Make Believe" series and a bunch have been sold on eBay. Individual ones seem to sell for higher amounts than when they are grouped. I mean, adding up the totals for individual sales comes to more than the amounts for group sales.

    I think I'm going to give a shot at selling them as a lot even if for a bit less $$.

    They are so colorful, hope that someone can use the entire group!

    Thanks! Hope they do! A slightly smaller set sold for $125, but had the original envelopes and box. (And who knows, might have had a particular rare card, not sure.) These are pretty minty, but no envelopes or box. And two are signed with a single name, might be a slight negative.

    Just realized I had a glaring typo in my sentence... should have said "Kind".... not, "hind"... ack.

    Blaming it on my new life without coffee.

    Oh! My older cousin had a set of those. She was twelve years older than I. We used to go to my aunt and uncle's house on Sundays when I was about five. Robie would go off with her friends after dinner and I'd either read the comics or play with her paper dolls. I remember these were in the same box. What great condition yours are in.
