This Batman Trading Card Is Worth $3,500…
Yup. That’s Batman. On the “bat throne”. It’s a Topps Batman trading card, but the thing is this card was never officially released to the public. And apparently the owner thinks this trading card is worth quite a bit.

The owner wants $3,500 for a set of these vintage Batman trading cards featuring the artwork of Norm Saunders, but this unreleased card is the centerpiece. There’s even a legend about the trading card according to the owner:
"The holy grail of all BATMAN CARDS. A 1966 TOPPS Batman black cape BATMAN ON BAT THRONE. A family member use to work at the Topps printing plant in CT during the 1960′s. That is where this card originated from. It appears some Topps employees were bored one day and made a card of Batman sitting on the toilet. This card was never released. I have not seen this card before and all that I have shown to have never seen this before. The card is on Topps card stock with a blank back. Card is over sized (3 x 4.5″) so it could be cut down to a normal size card. There is a crease through the middle of card."
There’s no official confirmation that this trading card is the real thing, but it certainly looks legit, so if you have several thousand dollars and want some rare Batman vintage trading cards, here you go.
