Very scarce & highly controversial collectible from the early 1990s.The focus of instant outrage from many different groups, the cards were completely banned in many areas. There's no way around it: they glorify criminals & totally forget their victims. Things have changed since this time, but they are a bellwether of where the culture was in the 1990s, attesting to the popularity of the true crime genre. Right as the set was going into production came the acquittal of the Los Angeles police officers involved in the 1991 brutal beating of an unarmed black man, Rodney King, following a traffic-related pursuit--captured on video by a neighbor. A "bonus" set of 4 cards commemorating this event was added to the original 220 cards issued in Series One (Serial Killers & Mass Murderers,110 cards) & Series Two (G-Men, Gangsters, 110 cards), + the bonus set of 4 Rodney King cards. Original art by Paul Lee (series one) & John Bright (series two). We are offering a Brand New, sealed, unopened box containing 36 unopened packs of 12 cards each (432 cards total). No guarantee of a complete set or the bonus cards here, but likely! and there are bound to be some duplicates as well! Our photos depict the Exact set of sealed cards that you will receive, never "stock" images of items we don't actually have! Same Day Shipping on all orders received by 2 pm Weekdays (Pacific); later orders, weekends & holidays ship very next business day. Codice articolo 022177
