Mad No. 206 (April '79)

Description

The Lime Rock Mad Magazine No. 206 card from 1992 represents a unique intersection of two collecting worlds: the enduring appeal of Mad Magazine's irreverent humor and the non-sports card market of the early 1990s. This card commemorates the April 1979 issue, a period when Mad Magazine was at peak cultural relevance, delivering parody and social satire to millions of readers. Mad Magazine No. 206 carries significance within the broader history of Mad's print run, marking a moment in the publication's legendary three-decade dominance of American humor. The 1992 Lime Rock release taps into nostalgia for both the magazine itself and the trading card boom of that era. Non-sports cards from Lime Rock appeal to collectors seeking entertainment-focused memorabilia beyond traditional sports subjects—a category that has grown steadily among those completing vintage sets or building thematic collections around pop culture icons and publications. Collectors value cards like this for their dual appeal: as artifacts of Mad Magazine's cultural legacy and as period pieces documenting early 1990s card manufacturing. Whether you're pursuing a complete Lime Rock entertainment set, filling gaps in a Mad-themed collection, or exploring vintage non-sports cards, this card offers both nostalgic and historical collecting interest.
