who owns the TMK Legion of Super Heroes post card set ??

featuring the 15 LEGIONNAIRES from this era !!

i know FARAWAY LAD mentioned he'd just got them, i got them off E-BAY last year !!

did anyone buy them, when they were originally released in 1990 ??

Matthew.

Apparently Lash did, before I won them off him on eBay a few months ago! REALLY nice set-- I esPECially love the cards for Mysa (my favorite!) and Kono. I've got them tucked away in one of my Archives until I find something like the trading-card sheets to display them in.

I have them as well

I bought them new.

DOn't know what to do with them, though. I haven't looked at them in years...

Hmmm,

I just found them. I seem to only have 13 though.

I have Reep, kono, Jo, Celeste, Rokk, Kent, Laurel, Devlin, Mysa, Salu, Brainy, Jan and Brin.

Which ones am I missing?

Ayla and Bounty.

Thanks! I will have to look around and see if I have them.

when i got mine, i was intending to frame them all individually, but then realised how much it was gonna cost and that i didn't have enough wall space to display them all, the way i had thought ....

Matthew.

Isn't there information on the back of the cards anyway Matthew? That would mean you would have to have two sets to display them properly. I could be wrong though as I don't have a set. But I would want to frame them as well if I did.

yeah !! you're correct, there is info on the back ...

Matthew.

Damn! I wish I could find the other two!

I would love to get my hands on a set of these!!!

I bought them "new off the rack" back then too. I like having them, along with the Mayfair Legion Sourcebook as part of the TMK era. Kinda feels more "complete".

me too...bought in 1990 and put them in storage somewhere. Have not seen it for a while. I hope that they are still good.*gasp*

Anybody wanna sell me a set!!!!

This was the eleventh topic on the former Trophy Room forum.

Just realized I never posted the images. Here goes:

Best transformation of a lame stereotype ever!

I wasn't so happy with the fact that TMK cut off her wings to do it or that nobody thought to say anything about it other than "doesn't she kinda remind you of...?"

I have had the honor to view the infamous 'Lash TMK Trading cards that now belong to Pov'!

I still have them in the ziplog baggy with Lashie's note...

Scan those puppies! Share them with us!

I'm a huge fan of this era, these postcards look great!

Chopping off the wings was the only "quick" way to differentiate her from Dawnstar, and would make it easy for Legionnaires not to recognize her... She had the Bounty personality, and no wings. How many times have to seen somebody in RL that you'd swear is the spitting image of someone you know? But the personality change and "Hey, Dawny's got wings! Why would she cut them off?!" I totally buy the Legionnaires not suspecting. Until Sade shot Bounty up, was there any previous chance to check her DNA?

And my stereotype comment, let me make clear... Dawnstar always bothered me with her 19th-cen AmInd fringe outfit and her tracking powers... "Me heepum-big Indian tracker-squaw. HOW!" :rolleyes: And Meltzer's big move to update her for The Lightning Saga... make her a lesbian? :rolleyes: Didn't we already see this 10 years ago in Gen13 with Rainmaker? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I thought the Bounty creature kind of changed her appearance too, didn't we see a before and after shot as it's essence left her that showed the differences?

Her haircolor was changed, from black to light brown, and she had that tattoo like Dream Girl's star mole on her cheek... I always called it her transformers tat. We'll have to ask on the LSH refs thread for some scans, Harbi.

Um... they're exactly the same as the scans you posted, Scoot... Unless you wanna see Lashie's note. Besides, my scanner's hooked up to my PC. I'll have to have Mom or my sisters set it up for me out here, so I can use it with my laptop.

those cards remind me of how great keith giffen's art can be.
tons of interesting detail.
they were an intriguing line-up, but the storylines meandered and never quite gelled as a team.

Thanks for the scans, Scott!
