What's your promo card holy grail?
Oh sure, rub it in LOL

Actually, a month or two ago, I found someone who had 2 of those for sale. I figured I could grab 'em both for the same postage and have an extra for someone else. Imagine my disappointment when I discovered the cards had been removed from the baggies...

I imagine they weren't all that rare at the time, but try to find one now...

The Commander Benjamin Sisko promo card came with Malibu DS9 comic #2. Here's a couple of dutch auctions on eBAy - not mine - where everyone can get one cheap!

Mine has just got to be the Witchblade tv series UK card.

Crossing fingers that I'll find it before I do give up.. which will probably be in about five years.

That's my limit lol

Also, the Dannon Yogurt Aladdin pop-up cards even though I am still missing 1 card.

Cecil,

Glad to see you have joined Card Talk. Hope you enjoy your stay here...

The Hercules Mall Tour cards with attached coupons are on my needs list too! I have 1 or 2 of the cards, but that is it.

Never tried to get the Dannon Aladdin pop-up cards.

Mike.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the welcome! It was kind of funny, I was wondering where the big influx of collector's over at the Mego Museum were coming from....until I joined here and see most of the same names here.

Yeah, the Hercule's Mall Tour cards are special to me because of what I had to endure in order to get them. You had to play games, which were designed for children.....so, yes, it was a little embarrassing to go through the motions....BUT I did complete the set. The Dannon set is a very beautiful set, I'll get some scans together of both issues when I can get into the closet where all my food issued stuff is.

Anyway, I look forward to becoming more involved here.

I picked up this set last fall at a reasonable price I thought. It had been on my needs list for a long time....

My holy grail promo has been (and always will be) the Lexx Suncoast 4 Card Set.

I've never even seen one of the cards, but I know they are out there and I have a second mortgage on standby for when they surface.

Mine would be the Star Wars SW1 I just learned about that's being sold on Ebay. I had no idea this card existed. Does anyone have any other info on this?

Another on my EXTREME WANT list would have to be the Dannon Yogurt Aladdin pop-up cards. I need pop-up #5 of 8. This promotion ran back in the early 90's. I was fortunate enough to buy 8 packages of yogurt and got 7 different cards. I traded my only extra to a friend in Seattle so that at least one of us could have a complete set. Thumb Up

Mine isn't super tough to find, but I have no luck whatsoever.

It is the Six Feet Under DVD promo card. Still looking....

Mine isn't too tough either. Need the Twilight SDCC uncut promo set. After that, I can put a fork in it and call it done.
