Upper Deck’s 2024 Fleer Retro Looney Tunes trading cards are here—and they’re a chaotic, nostalgic celebration of both classic animation and iconic 90s-era insert designs. For collectors of vintage-inspired cards or die-hard fans of Bugs Bunny and the gang, this release is a vibrant collision of pop culture and hobby history.
The Set That Merges Saturday Morning Cartoons with 90s Hobby Heat
Few franchises hold the cross-generational appeal of Looney Tunes. From the slapstick antics of Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner to the wisecracks of Bugs Bunny, these characters have endured for nearly a century. Now, they’re making their way into the premium trading card space with Upper Deck’s first-ever Looney Tunes set under the Fleer Retro line.
For collectors, the Fleer brand is synonymous with wild inserts, flashy foil parallels, and unforgettable chase cards. Originally a sports card powerhouse, Fleer (and Skybox) ruled the 90s with designs that pushed the boundaries of cardboard creativity. Upper Deck’s decision to revive these formats for Looney Tunes is a collector’s dream—pairing pop culture nostalgia with beloved insert styles like Metal Universe, Jambalaya, Z-Force, and Platinum Portraits.
