"Collect colorful pictures of exciting characters encountered during the timeless travels of the Tardis. There are 12 octagonal cards to collect"--from Cadbury Typhoo Limited. Copyright BBC 1976.
The Doctor certainly encounters a lot of monsters in his travels, don't you think? The card backs do not contain descriptive information for the creatures, but I've included them for completeness.

I was lucky to find them at a local comic shop. Lord knows how long he had them, but he was happy to sell them finally. I love the card design, but they really should have added bio information on the backs. Otherwise, one of my better finds for trading cards. And yes, it is a memory rush to see these images.

Zoiks! I remember these. Tried to get Mum to buy more Tea, but only collected a couple of these.
Nice to finally see the whole set. Aaaah, closure...

Tom Baker as the Doctor embodied a lot of the devil may care tone you see in the current series. He made it so much wild fun.

Wow! That was great nostalgia. My favorite Who era, too.
