This set of new cards “set features 54 cards in stunning 3-D Technology and trading cards with an overall total of 72 cards to collect. These 3-D cards that require no special glasses to view, but instead use a lenticular process creating 3-D effects so lifelike that you’ll swear you’re watching the scenes on the big screen!”
