1979 Topps Alien (Movie)

[vintagepacers]

I've been on a bit of a mission with this set recently. I have the complete base set (84 cards) and have the complete sticker set either in-hand or incoming from COMC.

My mission is to find and grade the only PSA 10 copy of card #11, Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver). There are only four PSA 9s in existence. In total, there are only 52 PSA 10 cards across the entire pop report of the set, none of them being card #11. I have this card and it has very good eye appeal but I think the highest it would likely grade is a PSA 8.

I received an email earlier stating that my mail had been delivered. In my mailbox currently sits 4 unopened packs of 1979 Topps Alien cards. I'll be heading home in about an hour. Wish me luck!!

How did the chase end up? You end up pulling one?

That would also be a great card for an IP auto.

I have purchased roughly 10 sealed packs and have yet to pull one myself. I did pull the sticker version a couple of months ago.
