Post Mars attacks heritage series
in case anyone has not run into them topps put out a repro series of the old cards, the quality is insane (if you put these guys in the spokes of your bike they may snag and flip your ass over the handlebars) they have some cool lenticular 3D cards, cards based on unused concept scetches and a bunch of one off scetch cards(did any brainers do any?)

Post Re: Mars attacks heritage series
I love mars attacks so much that i bought a case and some extra boxes.

So I have about 11 sketch cards, some are sucky.

Ive also bought a few Ed repka cards off eBay.

I will have some sets for sale as soon as I am able to collate them.

Also just heard I won a prize on the fb page from collecting the promo cards at sdcc!, I get a free box of cards and an uncut promo set!

These are great! I've always wanted a full set but it was ridiculous money.
They are at Target for 2.09 a pack which is the cheapest ive seen. I've completed 2 sets and still no sketch cards :x

just a heads up you can find the lenticular cards easy as heck with a scale(this works for most chase cards in any set)

Afaik There are no sketch cards in the boxes you buy at target, Walmart, etc. as well as some of the other parallels are missing.

Sketch cards only come in the hobby box u get in comic store or direct from distributors.

I've only pulled silver, greens and 3D's

If you set up a display of all of those Chad, I would love to see some pics. These would make a sweet collage all framed up.

Wow! That's awesome! As soon as these came out, I told my wife that I want to get an uncut promo set and get it framed.
