Art Stages

Final Painting Gross's original tag line at the top of the book originally read "Learn how to preserve your body through Eternity!" Gross changed it based on input from Topps consulting editor Len Brown. Brown suggested that character's speech balloon could read "Great for Mummies Day!", but Gross convinced Topps that the hieroglyphics should remain. The Topps Vault sold the finished art for "For Mummies" for $836.00 in an eBay auction which ran from December 27, 2005 - January 3, 2006.
