Over the years, many licensed Muppet postcards have been produced, some as promotional items and some for retail sale.
Promotional postcards
Postcards were distributed in the 1950s by WRC-TV to promote Sam and Friends. Later, Henson Associates sent promotional postcards to the press and friends to announce the air date of the pilot The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence. During the run of The Muppet Show Henson Associates also distributed a promotional postcard in response to fan mail.
