HAD TO MAKE A TOUGH CHOICE WITH TODAY'S CARD. NO REGRETS
1979 TOPPS ALIEN - INTRODUCING 'JONES'
KITTY! THIS CARD FALLS UNDER THE 'SNAG SOME COOL THINGS I HAD TO PASS UP THE YEAR BEFORE' CATEGORY. I HAD A COUPLE ALIENS CARDS BOOKMARKED TO ADD TO MY HORROR COLLECTION. THE PLAN WAS TO BUY WHICHEVER ONE WAS CHEAPEST BUT WHEN IT CAME DOWN TO IT I COULDN'T PASS UP THE KITTY CAT. THIS IS ONE OF ONLY FOUR CARDS I BOUGHT THAT COST MORE THAN A BUCK, COMING IN AT $1.05. CAT ASIDE, THIS CARD LOOKS GREAT, I LOVE THE DESIGN AND COLOR SCHEME. IT'S REALLY AMAZING SOME OF THE TRADING CARD SETS TOPPS RELEASED AFTER STAR WARS BLOWED THE FUCK UP
THIS SET IS QUITE FRANKLY LOADED WITH ASS KICKING CHARACTER ACTORS AND HONESTLY THERE ARE A HALF DOZEN OTHER CARDS I'D LIKE TO PICK UP AT SOME POINT. THE ENTIRE CAST IS MADE UP OF LEGENDS, BUT THE OTHER CARD I PASSED UP WAS HARRY DEAN STANTON. HE'S ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES JUST FOR REPO MAN AND TWIN PEAKS BUT HIS ENTIRE CAREER IS AMAZING. HE DOES NOT HAVE A LOT OF CARDS UNLESS THERE'S A NEW TWIN PEAKS CARD OUT THERE I HAVEN'T SEEN YET, BUT THERE ARE SEVERAL IN THIS SET. HE'S STILL BOOKMARKED FOR MY NEXT BINGE AND HARRY HAS SOMETHING THAT JONESY DOES NOT: A STICKER
