1993 SkyBox Simpsons trading cards unofficially mark the first modern, insert-driven set for the franchise. Although [Topps]] released a set based on the show three years earlier, it's from a simpler era where packs could be bought with couch treasure. 1993 SkyBox Simpsons trading cards are also ground-breaking with regards to one rare insert that has gone on to become a hobby staple.

The 1993 SkyBox Simpsons base set has 80 total cards. However, it's broken down into three different subsets, each with their own numbering. The first half of the set explores the show's characters. Unlike the Topps set that focused almost exclusively on the same five main characters, SkyBox delves much deeper into the world of Springfield. A lot of the show's charm comes from the secondary characters and obscure Springfield citizens. This set does a solid job at showcasing them. Other subsets focus on Itchy & Scratchy, and Radioactive Man.

1993 SkyBox Simpsons trading cards have several different insert sets, most of which are somewhat interactive. Tattoos are the most common. Several of them take tattoo cliches and give them a distinctly Simpsons spin. Mr. Burns flying serpent anyone? Wiggle Cards are lenticular motion inserts. The set has nine cards and is inserted 1:4 packs. Six acetate Cel Cards (1:18 packs) can be layered on top of one another to form different scenes. Glow-in-the-Dark cards (4 cards, 1:36 packs) are exactly as they sound.

The most important card in 1993 SkyBox Simpsons is the Art DeBart card. It's a redemption card good for an original sketch card from Simpsons creator, Matt Groening. Just 400 were produced. These are regarded as some of the first mainstream sketch cards, currently one of the most popular draws on the entertainment side of the hobby. These sketch cards can reach four figures today. And while the redemption cards are long expired, their rarity gives them strong value still today.
