1962 Topps Mars Attacks Complete High-Grade Set
<B>1962 Topps "Mars Attacks" Complete High-Grade Set (55).</B></I> Simultaneously charming in its cartoonish design and horrifying in its depictions of extreme violence, this Kennedy-era set remains one of the collecting hobby's favorite non-sports issues. The fifty-five cards take us through the Martians' attempted conquest of earth, sparing not a drop of blood and gore, and culminates with Earth's eventual counter-attack that leaves our orbital neighbor wishing they'd never stepped into their spaceships. This high-grade set offers not a single card to rate below EX. The quality is evident in the thirteen cards slabbed by PSA, which have an aggregate SMR value of $1925. The graded cards breakdown is as follows: <B>PSA 8:</B></I> #3, 14 (none graded higher), 19, 31, 48, 50, 52, 53, 55 (OC); <B>PSA 7:</B></I> #9, 51, 54; <B>PSA 6:</B></I> #1. Set grades 35% NM to NM/MT, 65% EX to EX/MT.
