Mars Attacks... 50 Years Later

It's been a very long time since I bought a box set of trading cards, but the Heritage set of Mars Attacks cards is definitely worth it. Reissues of the '60s classic set on old card stock, in addition to "deleted scenes" and "new universe" cards that are sort of a bonus, make this one of the best things that Topps has put out in a while. The usual bonuses include things like sketch cards (above) and these really cool 3-D versions (below) of the classic Mars Attacks cards. Topps did a great job with these, and have put out a fitting tribute to a line of cards that are seeing their 50th anniversary this year.
