Two years ago I made the
pledge to cut down on impulse card purchases and I have done a pretty good job
with it too but occasionally I will come across something and still bid on it
just because. The one thing that I have done well with is I keep my impulse
purchases to cards of players/teams/sets I already collect to at least keep my
collection focused.
A recent impulse buy
deals with aliens. This is a 1994 Topps Mars Attacks promo card. In 1994 Topps
decided to build on their Mars Attacks sets from the 1960s, this was two years
before the release of the awesome Tim Burton Mars Attacks movie. I have always
been a fan of the various Mars Attacks releases, and obviously the movie, and
will grab various cards as I come across something I think is cool. This promo
card was one of those cool finds. I have considered before but never paid it
much attention but my urge finally kicked in and I picked one up. The reason I
love this card is the gruesomeness, it is not a common sight to see a Martian
poking their finger in to someone’s eye an action recently repeated by the Broncos' Aqib Talib.
