Hopalong Cassidy was created in 1904 and between film, television and radio, Hopalong (Hoppy to his fans) became so popular he was everywhere. He was a marketing manager's best weapon. He was on the cover of magazines, bread, cereal and on most everything else. Topps sought to capitalize on this phenomenon right after the television show moved to the radio. Radio was still going strong in the 1950's and Hoppy occupied a top ten spot for years on the radio. William Boyd played Hoppy and earned millions for doing so. The images in the Topps Hopalong Cassidy set are of Boyd and his adventures on the television show.
This set of 230 cards is an extremely consistent set running from G to EXMT with most cards falling into the VGEX to EX Range and very clean. There are no foils in this set of (230) cards.
