This very unique bootleg set is so rare that it's existence is not even known amongst the most avid KISS collectors. Released by Extreme Images in 2002, the 40 card set highlighted the first 10 years of KISS, covering everything from their progressive style & costume periods to their line-up changes. The backs make up 5 great looking mini KISS posters.
Each set comes with a top deck paper card numbered out of 300 & although some sets in existence are numbered over 100, I have it on great authority that there were actually less than 100 sets printed, easily making these cards the rarest KISS cards in existence. Although a bootleg set, the 10th Anniversary Set is so rare & superbly finished in both style & quality, I rank them as the Holy Grail of KISS cards. Some time back, I was contacted by a collector who came a cross a box of these sets at a convention (which is how I first came across them) & he kindly sent me a set as payment for directing a link on this site to his, in which they were being offered for $100 US each. The link I had no longer works so if anyone here was lucky enough to obtain one back then, consider yourself very lucky as these sets are virtually impossible to get & I've seen one fetch $180 US on Ebay. |
