1998 Inkworks Alien Legacy Checklist, Trading Cards Info

Ad

For fans of Ripley, Xenomorphs and space screams that nobody can hear, 1998 Inkworks Alien Legacy is one of the most comprehensive trading card sets the franchise has produced. Diving into all four films, it traces the original path that the movies paved before being bogged down by crossover battles and prequels.

The 1998 Inkworks Alien Legacy checklist might not have any premium elements by today’s standards, but it does have a lot of content for fans to delve into.

1998 Inkworks Alien Legacy Checklist Overview

The base set has 90 total cards. Not only does it cover the key points from all four films, Inkworks still finds room for a handful of subsets that cover characters, iconic artwork, tech and some monstrous transformations. While the original 1979 film and 1993 three-quel had standalone sets to coincide with their theatrical releases, this set marks the first mainstream trading cards for Aliens and Alien Resurrection.

The checklist has three additional insert sets.

Nine Poster Gallery cards (1:17 packs) use foil stock to showcase posters hung in both domestic and international cinemas.

The Evolution of Ripley (1:27 packs) highlights Sigourney Weaver and her lead role in each of the four movies.

Finally, there’s an Alien Acid Bath card. In the early days of Inkworks, they’d often do a single-card chase with long odds. That’s exactly what this is with one landing every 1:108 packs. That said, if you look at the odds of the other inserts, it’s not actually all that rare compared to individual copies in those larger sets.
