Mars Attacks Returns are in

jadams · 08-18-2012, 08:54 PM

Got my Mars Attacks return cards back.

Asking $50 shipped CONUS

Drop me a line if interested.

Each will be marked on the reverse to indicate they are returns and not normal pack pulls.

Green in upper right spot is sold.

Thanks for taking the time to look.

I've been away from the hobby for some time. What are "returns"?

For whatever reason, the publisher chose not to include these in the product and returned them to the artist.

Artist Returns are the compensation (in part or whole) for having worked on the set. the artist say sends all 100 he did for the set to the company for pack insertion. he/she is asked to tell the company which ones they want back as payment for having completed the task. the artist knows which they want back, can resell on the open market. these are usu better looking than the pack inserts.

it isnt that the company refused to pack insert, it was the artist request to get those particular ones as his payment.

Interesting. Thanks for explaining.

Nice. I was wondering how Topps could afford all those artists' works...

Now I see said the blind man...

Mr. Adams, I love your work! You and some other artists add a lot of class to the MA card line.
