Presented is an outstanding mid- to high-grade complete set of 1962 Topps "Mars Attacks," one of the classic sets of all time. 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 Earth, but kids couldn't get enough of them. The entire set of fifty-five cards has been graded and encapsulated by PSA. PSA Grading Composite: NM 7 (5 cards): #17, 24, 32, 41, and 49. EX-MT 6 (23 cards): #2, 3, 6, 10, 12, 13, 15, 16, 25, 27, 30, 31, 36, 38, 44, 45, 46, 48, 50, 52, 53, 54, and 55 Checklist. EX 5 (27 cards): #1 The Invasion Begins, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 14 Charred By Martians, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 26, 28, 29, 33, 34, 35, 37, 39, 40, 42, 43, 47, and 51. This is a beautiful mid- to high-grade complete set of one of the most highly prized of all nonsports issues, representing a far more economical alternative and an outstanding value compared to an ultra-high-grade set (which could easily run ten or more times the cost of this set). The total SMR value for the individual cards is $3,330. Total: 55 cards. The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot. Opening Bid $500.
