Presented is a 55-card complete set of Topps "Mars Attacks" non-sports cards issued in 1962. Much more than a card set, Topps' Mars Attacks is a cultural commodity shared by anyone who ever experienced wonder about "space aliens," thought about the universe beyond our own sphere, or opened a pack of bubble gum. As the priceless issue's theme, Earth lay under siege by extraterrestrials, and the worst of all alien contact scenarios had come to pass. Cities are burned and devastation is wrought on each piece, as calamity befalls every corner of our precious home world. Action elements compete with each other for attention in the cataclysmic scenes, and details of every disaster are made especially vivid by the extraordinary color depictions.
