Includes the rare "THE THING" Case Topper Card (#CT1) This trading card series features reproductions of some of the most famous Sci-Fi & Horror Theatrical Posters of our time. This card set was released by Breygent Marketing in 2007 and consists of 49 different cards in all (#1-#49), plus you get the rare case topper card (#CT1). Each card from this full release features a reproduction of a classic vintage movie poster on specially-made 3.5"X 5" card stock. This was the 1st installment in a series of Breygent's "Classic Vintage Posters" card sets (the 2nd series was based on "Movie Posters" & the 3rd series was based on "Stars, Monsters & Comedy"). This series has a full range of major motion pictures based on Sci-Fi & Horror! This listing is for the entire set of 49 cards (#1-#49) plus you get the rare Case Topper Card #CT1. The images on the fronts of the cards are in full color with a classic border surrounding it. On the back of the cards there is detailed text about each film spotlighted including cast & plot information & the importance of the movie & poster in the history of film. The over-the-top graphics & flamboyant nature of these posters are themselves a lost art. It was from a time when movie-goers were enthralled by the fantastic claims that the posters offered & used that alone as a basis of whether or not they'd go see the movie once released. How could it be that the outrageous claims & fantastical action scenes depicted would consistently work to entice audiences? Well, it was the "Golden Age" of the movie industry & the audiences were eager for a good time, even if the claims made on the posters could not hold up on the big screen. Many of the movie titles featured in this card set were so wildly popular that they have been re-made many times over. The 1933 version of KING KONG whose movie poster is featured in this set (Card #3) spawned many re-makes including the most recent one by famed Director Peter Jackson almost 75 years later! Some of the other huge hits featured in this series that have also been re-done are: Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde (Card #2), The Invisible Man (#5), The War of the Worlds (#12), Invasion of the Body Snatchers (#18) & The Fly Card #33). Other films gained notoriety from different means: Like Ed Wood's classic "Plan 9 From Outer Space" (card #23) which was given new life from Tim Burton's film "Ed Wood" starring Johnny Depp. Wood has a 2nd film featured in this set as well ("Bride of the Monster" is card #20). Other great films are used as well (full list is below) including some Foreign posters & a special British Double-Bill poster. Any fan of this genre would find many great places to display these items! They would look beautiful in a frame or for display on a desk or wall. In this listing you will get all 49 cards to the set. The posters that are featured are: Metropolis Dr. Jekyll King Kong Black Cat Invisible Man Dr. Cyclops Invisible Man Returns Flying Disc Man from Mars Lost Planet Airmen Day the Earth Stood Still Zombies of the Stratosphere War of the Worlds It Came from Outer Space Devil Girl from Mars Target Earth Tobor the Great Monster from the Ocean Floor Invasion of the body snatchers Tarantula Bride of the Monster Revenge of the Creature The She Creature Plan 9 from Outer Space Creature Walks among Us Forbidden Planet Invisible Boy Curse of Frankenstein Invasion of the Saucer Men Incredible Shrinking Man Attack of the Crab Monsters Deadly Mantis Fiend without a Face The Fly Queen of Outer Space Battle in Outer Space House on Haunted Hill Hound of the Baskervilles Angry Red Planet The Time Machine The Wasp Woman First Spaceship on Venus Curse of the Werewolf El Vampiro Sangrenito Blood Feast Kiss of the Vampire Dr. Terrorβs House of Horrors Rasputin Mad Monk/The Reptile combo Bug Legacy (also serves as the checklist card) Winner agrees to send payment within 7 days.
