When a "5" may be better then a "6".......

both cost around the same amt too. the 6 was a saw buck more.

edited to add: the corners on the 6 are nice, they appear nmt-mnt while the 5 are decent

Nice cards, Steve - I'll take that crummy 6 off your hands...

Then I guess that leaves me with the lowly 5?

Now this 6 is what I aways considered to be ex/mnt. (a card that at first impression appears mint. true ex/mnt cards (not 8oc brought down) are very nice indeed.

By the way Mark welcome to the Mars Attacks registry.

A true ex to ex mnt set was what I started out for. I found true 5 and 6 cards far and in between and then decided to go from ex to nmnt/mnt. (which is where I am) I bet though if one bought raw and submitted then it could be attainable.

That's a nice looking 6 Steve
How many cards left to complete the set?

I need 7 more cards Mike .........I have 1 that needs to be crossed over.

the 6 (card 1) has a tilt and has centering issues, the back is not rich in color, it is a card that has 8 corners and thats about it.

Steve, great set. Some of those 8s in your set are just awesome. The artwork on this set is so incredible,
each card is a little masterpiece. I've always like "Prized Captive", but the Frost Rays and others are
equally spectacular. I may get the upgrade bug as well; right now though I'm satisfied just chasing a
mid grade set (famous last words!)

Thanks for the welcome; I have quite a ways to go to give anybody a run for their money!
