It’s been 30 years since Topps released the 1994 Beavis and Butt-Head set, celebrating one of the biggest shows on TV at the time, which still has an enduring pop culture impact today. The 132-card set came packed with the MTV series’ signature crude humor, iconic visual style, and ridiculous characters. Learn more about the history of the 1994 Beavis and Butt-Head set here, and continue reading below for some of the top cards to collect from the set.

1994 Topps Beavis and Butt-Head #0069 Beavis and Butt-Head Clean House

No matter the set, starting at the beginning is always a good idea. In the case of the 1994 Topps Beavis and Butt-Head set, that means card number 0069, “Beavis and Butt-Head Clean House.” The set’s crass numbering convention was meant to evoke the two titular characters’ low-brow brand of humor, with the first selection of cards numbering from 0069 to 9969 and the second grouping number from 6901 to 6950. 

That would normally mean 150 base cards, but a handful of numbers are missing throughout, making it 132 instead. This first card shows a scene from Season 3, Episode 8, in which Mr. Van Driessen hires the eponymous duo to clean his house (with disastrous results).

What’s Beavis and Butt-Head without some painfully obvious double entendre? This card features the two friends showing off some curious new clothing accessories, as seen in Season 3, Episode 25. Like most of the cards in the set, this one includes a description of the episode on the back, relayed in Beavis and Butt-Head’s signature, obnoxious voice.

1994 Topps Beavis and Butt-Head #8869 Todd

In the world of Beavis and Butt-Head, Todd Ianuzzi is the cool dude poster boy. That is, as long as you’re a juvenile delinquent. Otherwise, he’s just a slimy, manipulative burnout. Regardless, he’s a key piece of the mythos, and he’ll look great sleeved and added to your PC with the last two cards on our list.

No collection would be complete without the boys themselves, starting with Butt-Head, the “underficial president of cool,” as he describes himself on the back of the card — “Me and Dave Mustaine and those dudes from Gwar.” While Butt-Head isn’t exactly glamorous in his profile picture here, he is categorically himself, and that’s what counts.

You can’t have one without the other. Beavis poses for his close-up here, describing his hobbies on the back as, “like, taking out a whole Marine division with my bare hands, and like, watching TV.” He’s blonde, he’s a star, and he’s shredding on the air guitar. What more do you need?
