Item Description
Set of 55, each 2.5x3.5" issued in 1962 © Bubbles Inc. (Topps). Card fronts feature choice art, in many cases quite gruesome such as #36 "Destroying A Dog" in which an alien disintegrates a dog w/his ray gun and #50 "Smashing The Enemy" in which a U.S. soldier splits open an alien's head using the butt of his rifle. Card backs are bw/orange featuring story text plus preview image of the following card. Final card in the set #55 features "A Short Synopsis Of The Story" on front while back is a check list. Check list card has slightly rounded corners, reverse has penciling to the boxes along w/ft. trace of erasure. Card front remains bright and no creases. Fine. The other cards have lt. scattered trace of margin and corner tip wear. While come corners are slightly rounded, most remain fairly sharp. These cards are also free of creases, bright and clean. While a few may be Fine, the vast majority of this set is VF to Exc. This is the first set we've ever been able to offer of this gum card classic.
