The Muppet Greeting Card effect!

[DrGroverFan]

In the late 70’s and early 80’s, Hallmark Cards and Ambassador Cards started producing Muppet greeting cards. They featured everyone’s favorite Muppets, including Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie the Bear, Gonzo, etc.

Probably the most popular cards were for birthdays. But Muppet greeting cards were also produced for most every holiday imagined. The one thing they all had in common was the “A Jim Henson Muppet Puppet Card” logo on the back of each card.

When I was growing up, all of my family and friends knew I was a huge Muppet fan. So most birthdays and major holidays, I would receive a Muppet card in the mail or on top of my gift. Fortunately, I had the sense to save most of those cards and collect others over the years. I now have amassed quite a collection.

Receiving a Muppet card always brought a smile to my face. Now I would like to share my collection with all of you and hopefully, others of you will share your pictures and stories on this thread as well. Please comment, reply, and “like” this thread if you share my enthusiasm for Muppet greeting cards. Hope you guys enjoy the pictures.

Here are a few of the Muppet greeting cards produced in 1979. I'm still working on collecting more Muppet cards from this year. Some of these are my all time favorites!

Here is a "mini" series of Muppet Hallmark cards produced in the years 1979 and 1981. These are smaller cards and measure about 3 1/4" x 4 1/2".

Here are some Muppet greeting cards from the company American Greetings. I believe these cards came out in 1992 and 1993 and was under the title "Forget Me Not" series. I don't have all the cards in this series, but am still working on collecting them. Here are a few pictures links:

Here is a question about a certain Hallmark Muppet card. I believe this card was produced in the early 80's, but has no date on the back. It does have the "A Jim Henson Muppet Puppet Card" logo on the back. Would anyone happen to know what year this Thanksgiving card came out? Here is a picture link:
