Thread: Still no answer on why PS 30 & 31 are so rare?

  1. #1

    Still no answer on why PS 30 & 31 are so rare?

    I've seen quite a few posts on here asking why PS cards #30 and #31 are so rare, but no one has given any kind of serious reply. What happened with these cards? Were they all given away at a toy show? Are they sitting in a box in Canada? Was there a fire? Alien abduction? Secret Society?

    These seem to be the most difficult PS cards to find out of the entire run, but they aren't that old. I understand why I can't find many of the cards that I'm looking for. Some were released while I was away and just weren't available by the time I came back. Some I see up now and them, but I just don't have the cards I would need to trade for them. But I was actively on here when #30 & #31 came out and it seems like they just kind of mysteriously appeared in the hands of one or two collectors and then disappeared again. I don't even remember any kind of announcement about them being available. It's just like #29 was the highest number for months then all of the sudden, "Oh, sure #30 and #31 were released a while back, but we're on to #33-35 now." No one ever seems to have them for trade or to give away in contests like pretty much all of the other cards. Can anyone give any insight on why they're so damn rare?!?!

    Nostalgia just ain’t what it used to be.

    I don't think they're any more rare than any of the others

    PS cards are crazy easy to get -- you just have to be persistent and relentlessly keep bumping up your needs list.

    It's MOST appreciated Palitoy. No accusations on your end. We're just tryin to figure out why these 2 cards are in such short supply. I too was checking the boards regularly at the time and still was never able to procure them. Trying to figure out if there are some secret hoarders out there. Or were there just a smaller amount printed?

The way I got my cards is with the purchase 1978 Reimagine Mego Magazine.Inside its contents where 0-Brick Mantooth,30- Kenner Alien,31- Slade, Aquaman Shark sticker.I ordered two and got lucky but this was 4 or 5 months back this year. Once again thanks to all that make these cards possible.

    I shipped them out with the 1978s, I included doubles on most orders. Whenever anybody has a question, I do answer PMs.
