When the Sisters of Charity at St Mary’s in Nutley NJ confiscated your baseball cards in 1962 you were getting them back on the last day of school. When they nabbed your Mars Attacks (or Civil War News) cards you were guaranteed to get a whack in the back of the head, a note sent home to Mom, and the agony of watching your cards torn to pieces.
Maybe that’s why building the sets as an adult was so satisfying!

Thanks for the laugh Bob! I was nine years old back in 1962, and grew up in Southern California. I remember collecting CWN cards (still my favorite set) but don't think I ever saw Mars Attack cards.
