Scarcer Canadian printing

The printed Canadian origin marking distinguishes this version and adds interest for collectors of Canadian-printed trading cards. Its Bat Signal subject and action-focused artwork make it an appealing addition to a vintage Batman set or a display of classic non-sport cards.

A call to adventure

The orange reverse opens a new adventure for Batman and Robin. A searchlight on the roof of police headquarters casts the bat symbol onto the clouds, summoning the crime-fighting duo. The story describes the sleek Batmobile arriving at headquarters. A Batman illustration accompanies the text, which identifies this as No. 1 of 11 Batman vs. The Joker cards and invites collectors to complete the series of 55 Batman cards.
