MARS ATTACKS!!!...
A true grail for non-sports card collectors, this 1962 Mars Attacks #1 The Invasion Begins PSA 6 EX-MT is a cornerstone of one of the most controversial and sought-after trading card sets ever produced. Illustrated by Wally Wood & Norm Saunders and released by Topps via their dummy corporation Bubbles Inc., this groundbreaking series depicted a violent Martian invasion with pulp-inspired artwork, sparking public outcry and eventual censorship. The series gained cult status, later inspiring Tim Burton's 1996 film Mars Attacks! and cementing its place in sci-fi history. The #1 card, with its dramatic imagery of alien forces landing on Earth, is among the most coveted, setting the tone for the entire set. This exceptionally well-preserved PSA 6 EX-MT specimen retains marvelous color, stunning details, and sharp edges and corners. This card and series represent an iconic slice of 1960s Americana and an enduring legacy of extraterrestrial mayhem!
