First, let me start off by thanking Press Pass for giving us the opportunity to review The Legend Of Kiss. Being a huge KISS Fan since 1973, I nervously awaited The Legend of Kiss Hobby Box to arrive at my door. I was at work when my wife called me at 2:30 in the afternoon. I left work at 5:00 pm, walked in the house around 5:20 pm, gave the wife and puppy their kisses, and sat down to open THE box.
What was pulled from our Hobby Box:
Base Cards: 1 - 100 (complete set!)
Base Card Extras: 8, 35, 46, 53, 55, 59, 66, 89, 93
Proof Edition Parallel (BLACK): 6, 10, 13, 23, 38, 83
Pop-Up Cards: PU3, PU4, PU5, PU6
Limited Edition Collector’s Album Card: 1
And while we were not guaranteed a hit, we did pull out of the third pack:
2010 Press Pass The Legend of KISS Card #71 Front/Yellow Press Plate 1 of 1
The odds breakdown:
Base Cards: Complete Set
Proof Edition Parallel (1:4): 6
Rock Star Relics (Not Guaranteed): 0
KISS Kuts (Not Guaranteed): 0
KISSignatures (Not Guaranteed): 0
Press Plates (Not Guaranteed): 1
Overall I was very pleased with the cards, the photographs of yesteryear and today brought back many memories. On the back of the cards you will find KISStory and several of the cards are used to make several puzzles.
My favorite card, well, it's just not possible to pick a favorite. My favorite cards are the four base cards shown above and the Black and White Proof Parallels. The scans really do not do these cards justice.
I was surprised that the cards are NOT thin. While there are not thick, they are sturdy.
These are not sports cards and as such if you are not a fan of KISS then you probably will not enjoy the cards. The KISS ARMY will love them!
