Rarely offered complete 66-card set of 1966 Topps "Get Smart," based on the popular TV show. Also included is a complete 16-card "Get Smart Secret Agent Kit" set, an unusual series which was issued as an insert with the 1966 Topps "Get Smart" wax pack. These blank-backed cards are designed as die-cuts. Get Smart, which debuted in 1965, was the brainchild of Mel Brooks and will forever stand as the ultimate send-up of the spy genre. The show, which introduced the world to KAOS, the cone of silence, Hymie the robot, and shoe phones, was also memorable for its repeated use of a number of key catch phrases that are still widely referenced today, including "Missed it by that much," "And loving it," and "Would you believe..." Get Smart was a sensation in the 1960s, and it was only natural that Topps would honor the popular show with its own trading-card set. This lot consists of the following: 1) "Get Smart" Complete Set (66) Plus Wrapper: Condition is 25% Ex-Mt to Nr/Mt, 58% Vg-Ex to Ex, and 17% Gd to Vg (including one lesser).

This is a very attractive complete set pair of these very interesting and popular nonsport issues. Total: 82 cards plus wrapper.
