I think I can explain the mystery of the 4 of 9 card. First, I actually have 6 of cards numbered 1 of 9 thru 6 of 9. I purchased them several years ago and have spent a fair amount of time since trying to find the final 3 that I need. I decided to make one last effort to find an answer before I posted this message. Long story short, Topps planned a comic book series and indicated that each issue would have 3 special trading cards. There's just one problem, I can find no record that any of the comic books were actually published. Here is the site where I found an explanation that makes perfect sense (retrodaze.org/site/article/id/9475). Basically the movie apparently tanked and Topps cancelled the comic book. It appears that some or all of the cards had already been printed and mine must have come from someone
within Topps who had access to a few of the cards. So you can take your pick, either all of the remaining cards were destroyed or the majority of them are still in the Topps vault and may or may not ever see daylight.

I would really like to know if anyone else actually has any of these cards because it's hard for me to believe that I have the only cards that are out there.

The card set came out. It's the cards that were supposed to come with the comics that didn't come out because the comic didn't come out.
On comicartfans.com, search for Last Action Hero and you'll see a couple of pages by Rich Buckler for the proposed comic. On facebook, there's a cover by Jerome K. Moore.

If you ever saw Last Action Hero, you'd know why any planned cards or comics were ditched.
