With 2026 Topps Mars Attacks Xmas, even Christmas isn't safe from those pesky Martians.
Topps presales are slated to begin on September 8, 2026.
As many collectors know, the entire Mars Attacks brand grew out of an original Topps sci-fi trading card set from 1962 that was ultimately banned for what was considered overly violent/sexual imagery at the time. The card set also inspired the Mars Attacks! (1996) movie.
