What makes them "rare" is because once they come out in a collection that's the end of them. They are never released again. Many times MAC also releases another version of the card that we might never see or only a very few ever get. Being in Asia or the UK or Italy means we didn't get it here in the US at all. As the years go by collectors like myself still stumble across one that was released and it just appears and we have no idea when it was made. I have one now that none of us have seen or even know existed. I have another one that none of us knew till now actually has 3 versions of the card...that would be PURE. As far as anything in the 90's....that speaks for itself. Some of the card are over 10 years old! Like art or anything else, the older it gets, the more valuable. The more limited there are, the more valuable. There are still many cards we have yet to even see even though we know they exist. Finding one of those is sometimes pure luck and a joy, and usually very expensive to acquire if you can at all.

Start collecting them at the counters when they have every opening. OR....do it the expensive way like I did....pay for them. I only started collecting last fall...the rest, I paid for, or swapped for, bought off of ebay, or begged for from people who would have otherwise thrown them away.

It is an EXPENSIVE type of collecting...be warned...! ...(but I love it!)

The Five Sins ARE glossy cards. If you have 4 cards you still need the main card -- pic further down on my list. My main card is actually from France...

I posted the 5 Sins of Lipglass card you are missing which completes the set, which would be 6 in total and is also the hardest to find and most expensive all by itself. This one, as you can see from the writing, is from France.

No...mine say the same thing.. I just went and checked to be sure. Another collector and I discussed someone making copies of the cards once before and we came to the conclusion....why would they do that? There's no reason to...

I DO have a complete set ...all 6, including the main card, available if you are interested in having the full set. It's listed on Sale/Swap along with a WHOLE lot of other great cards.

yes....I am a card-a-holic LOL!!!
