I was able to add a few more cards to my 1962 Topps Mars Attacks Set Chase. The below three bring my total to 23 of 55 cards, or ~42%. I have had a few rushes of pickups but overall it's been a slow and steady grind which is exactly what I anticipated this project being.
eBay pickup number one is card number 20 -- Crushed To Death. As always, the artwork is exceptional and absolutely killer!
The second of my only eBay pickups from the set in the last year plus is card number 17 -- Beast and The Beauty. I had never noticed the glass breaking and suspended in mid-air as the Martian grabs the scared young girl....until just now. These just keep paying artistic and cardboard dividends!
The third and final card was had at a local card show of all places -- Martian City in Ruins, number 53 in the doable set. When I saw a dealer I like had a stack I was hoping to find a bunch, but what he had was mostly dupes for my needs or happened to be on the high-end of historical eBay pricing for each card. That being said, I was happy to snag the one!
