As many of you know, my family is huge with Disney, so you can probably guess that I have 1935 Mickey Mouse trading cards as part of my personal collection. These really are a gem from the 1930s and if you have any interest at all in Disney trading cards, you should consider getting your hands on some of these cards.
Just be careful with the prices with 1935 Mickey Mouse trading cards. The market has a pretty fluid trading value for these cards, but you may find some “Buy it Now” prices on eBay that are overpriced. Just make sure to do your research before buying them. Don’t go spending hundreds of dollars higher than the market calls for.
1935 Mickey Mouse trading cards were actually broken up into two sets but are often considered the same set. There are a total of 120 cards between the two sets.
- 1935 Mickey Mouse trading cards (R89 set of 96 cards)
- 1935 Mickey Mouse with the Stars (R90 set of 24 Cards)
We’re going to talk about each one. Let’s star with the R89 1935 Mickey Mouse trading cards, and then we’ll jump into the R90 set.
1935 Mickey Mouse Trading Cards Set (R89)
The 1935 R89 Mickey Mouse trading cards consisted of a total of 96 cards. Each card featured a comic of Mickey and his friends on the front. The card number was prominently displayed at the top of the card.
