Land of the Giants- TEST (Topps, 1968) This 55 color card set may not seem like a monster card series, but it is. Giants are, after all, monsters. This test series if very rare, but fortunately, most collectors can get a slightly smaller version of the same set from Topps UK (around $300). Both sets have cartoon strips images on the back #1-44. The last 11 cards have puzzle backs. The test cards retail for $100- $150 per card.
Lost In Space (Topps 1966): Just plain old black and white photos with a story line on the back (along with several different graphics), but the charm of the campy TV show pulls it through. Several Cyclops and other dangerous aliens, but mainly the first several episodes are profiled (which were the most serious sci-fi episodes of the show). 55 cards. Retail: $300-$500 Ex/Nrmt.
Lost in Space, The Movie (Inkworks, 1998) The new movie with William Hurt and Gary Oldman is brought to cardboard by Inkworks. Although Dr. Smith turns into a monster in the movie, most of those special effect shots are left out of this series. The 90 card set. Retail: $10-$15
