Very attractive mid- to high-grade complete set of this American classic. The "Mars Attacks" set is unparalleled in the presentation of its colorful, detailed artwork and gruesome graphics. Parents were up in arms upon viewing the gore and mayhem depicted by this scary science fiction set, which tells the story of Martians attacking planet Earth, but kids couldn't get enough of them. Condition is 42% Ex-Mt to Nr/Mt (including a couple better), 50% Vg to Vg-Ex, and 8% lesser (including one with a slight miscut). Keys: #1 The Invasion Begins (Vg) and 55 Checklist (marked in pen, otherwise Vg-Ex+). This is an extremely attractive complete set with across-the-board outstanding eye-appeal! Total: 55 cards. Reserve $300. Estimate $500+.
