: : I was in a collector card store with my youngest daughter, who was looking for Aliens collectables. While wandering around the aisles waiting on her, I looked down, and found one lone unopened box of YIJC cards, covered with dust and still shrink wrapped. I bought it for $9.00, and it holds 36 packages of X amount of cards each. Question to those of you who follow this collection.....how did I do? High or low? I have yet to open the box. Haven't had time. Not that I'll be disappointed one way or another, but was just interested whether I did good shopping. Regards. Michaelson

That is a good question, and one I have asked before in stores, and have received two different answers. How about it, did Topps ever create a set of cards for the third movie. By the way, I have the complete sets of Raiders and T of D cards myself. I NEVER saw those sold outside collector shops or shows. Regards. Michaelson
