I have absolutely no idea on this one as it is a one-of in a box lot I bought. It does say "Topps Card Games" on the back, bottom right corner. Ideas?

Hi,

It was a CCG which Nintendo relased and tied in with the Killer Instinct game. There were 342 cards in the set, along with 6 promo cards. Not great quality cards in terms of the images, which were taken from actualy gameplay.

Pretty rare to find them these days it seems. Checklist is here

Thanks. I searched under Nintendo so that is why I could not find it. Not sure if Nintendo should not be part of the set name as on the front of the card, it is Nintendo that is on the copyright line.

It probably wouldn't be a bad idea as it would make it easier to find and if it was Nintendo copyright. Edited on: Jul 31, 2020 - 5:53AM

The copyright is for the Killer Instinct name and images owned by Nintendo.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.
