The promotion seemed shorter than the Lion King or the Hercules ones becauseI was able to finish those sets easily back then but picked up only two of the Flintstones cards before I stopped finding boxes in stores. The cards have rarely showed up for sale in recent years.

PCE2008 lists the "3 of 4" card. Below is the "1 of 4" card which I hadn't even seen before about two months ago.



There was also a 4 card set from the same ice cream promotion for the Nestle Quick bunny

Yeah, those have turned out to be hard to find in recent years. Bill DeFranzo had a few of those to trade in the late 90's and I should've obtained one from him then just to have an example of one. Several years ago, someone was selling a Nestle Quik box promoting the cards and I saw one again last year but no cards.

PCE2008 has an entry for Celebrity Comics cards (Personality Comics Inc., 1992) that are oversized and inbound, stapled with various comics. There were also some standard size cards that were inserted with special, serial-numbered "prism card editions" of the comics. Neither the comics nor the cards are serial-numbered but the comic packaging was.

"Metallica" (head shot); back has text about James Hetfield; even though the card was inserted with a Celebrity Comics issue, it says "Personality Comics Trading Cards" on the card front so I'm wondering if it's the same card listed under "Personality Comics" even though the PCE2008-listed card was inserted with a Personality Comics issue. I should add that Celebrity Comics is a division of Personality Comics.

"Lars Ulrich"; gold prismatic foil border; back text notes neither Personality Comics nor Celebrity Comics.

**the above two cards were poly "Metallica" Issue #2 Limited Prism Card Edition along with two random Spoof Comics cards.

Yes, there are nine different singles distributed in a special foil pack. There's usually a pack for sale somewhere at a reasonable price ($10-15) and sometimes at an unreasonable price.

Gday Cats,
I just found that I have the Michael Newton "Tribute" promo, with the gold foil lettering, the same as the one you've pictured here.
Question...are the other promos on the sheet around in various collections as separate cards..?

It's a little strange that no singles have surfaced since. You would think by now the thief would have sold at least some of them and a few of those would've passed through a few hands with someone asking about it by now. Is it possible they accidentally fell into the garbage or into the wrong box?

Almost exactly two years ago, I showed a "Home Alone 2" lenticular card not listed in PCE2008.

http://nonsportupdate.infopop....547068596#2547068596

Here's another one. I thought I had seen it years before but wasn't certain. It does contain an image of the "pigeon lady" and one of Culkin's character eating ice cream.
