I had a bunch of those Original MA cards when I was a kid, but I started with a clean slate when I moved out of the house at 17, so I have no idea where anything I had as a youth ended up.
I have all of the MA cards, plus the wrapper in jpg. in my Mars Attacks table folder, got them from this site as mentioned in my FS table release post at VPF. :) The Widescreen version of Mars Attacks is only available at PN.

I do have a
reprint set of the Mars Attack cards in the basement that has the original 55 cards plus 45 more. I use to collect nonsports cards, I have 100's of sets of them. I also use to collect playing cards with scenes or different pics on each card, I have 100's of decks of them also. Boxes and boxes to be exact. :)
Here's my take on collecting stuff. It use to be fun to go to flea markets, trade shows and auctions trying to find stuff. Now you can go on eBay and find just about anything you want without leaving the house. I think one of the coolest things about collecting is the "hunt" and the hunt is over with eBay, so it took a lot of the thrill out of collecting.
I still get things like a deck of collector cards for Christmas or birthdays, but I really don't actively look for anything collectible anymore.
Thanks Steve
