TSR1062 1991 Fantasy Collector Card Set 1 (Booster)

I have all the other sets in shrink but I have never seen this one, can't find a picture of it or even really a description (box set?) of what it is.   I am wondering if it doesn't actually exist?

Found a post here from 2009 where someone asked about this amongst a lot of other questions.  The other questions were answered but not this one so I thought I would try it on it's own.   Apologies if covered elsewhere and I missed it.

Thanks in advance for any help on the subject  :D

They're booster packs. These should be them (I think), although the picture is small enough I can't see the product code:

I remember when those first came out, sold like hotcakes, then they brought out the factory sets and it just destroyed the demand for the individual packs.

Thanks Tool!

So they were individual packs, not in boxes like 1063 is and the other card sets?

Do you know how many packs made up the item?

So NK lists this item number as 1062 and as the booster box 1 from 1991, with the normal 36 packs, just like tsr 1063 is the booster pack 2.  They do not have a picture though.

The difference is you cannot go on eBay without tripping over 1063s in SW, and I have never seen a picture of or a listing on eBay (or anywhere) for 1062.   Since NK says they had it before it must exist, but they last stocked it in 2004, vs 2015 for 1063.  So given the huge population of booster box 2, I am guessing this item must actually be extremely rare, at least in this form?

Just an update for any future thread searches, I did indeed finally see one of these full box sets for sale on eBay, ended today.  First I have ever seen in the box and not just individual foil packs.  Unfortunately I could not procure it as I was on an airplane at the time...but it did go for over $200, so apparently I wasn't the only one waiting to find one of these.

But at least I know they exist!

How do can you tell these are the 1062 set and not 1063 set?

The 1991 Series II Card Box has the TSR stock ID (1063) and its associated ISBN on the bottom of the box - the 1991 Series I box has only an ISBN on the bottom of the box (156076-080-X).  Also, the first series box is blue whereas the second series is a blue/green (my ability to describe color variations leaves something to be desired :)).

Good to know. I didn't see a picture of the bottom of the box in that auction and was wondering if it was on the individual packs that I couldn't read. Also wasn't sure if the green box may have faded to the light blue in the auction.

Thanks,
Mike

The 1062 code (and I assume the 1063 for set II, IS printed on the individual foil packs as well as on the box.  Unfortunately (to the best of my knowledge) if you try to collect the 36 packs individually there is no way to tell if you are getting duplicates - and mostly what you find for 1062 are lose packs.  So finding the light blue box is the preferred pathway.  Now if we could just get a few more up for auction that end when I am not on an airplane!

There are also duplicate cards in the 36 packs which comprise the box sets.  Lots of luck is interested (albeit less luck is needed for these sets than a Blood Wars or Spellfire set :-))
