Quicksand Fans

I would greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me what trading card set these cards are from or at least who the comic book characters are or the name of the comic so I can find the card set on my own. I've been trying to figure it out myself for years, but having only an image to go off of doesn't help. I would love to someday add these cards to my collection. They're beautiful!

Here is a photo of the cards. Yes, this is a screen shot of a YouTube video. lol! http://imgur.com/a/wZYCt

Additional information: The small logo in the corner of the two cards is a half white/half black skull. I didn't see the word "Wizard" listed anywhere, so I doubt they are Wizard magazine promo cards, although I could be wrong. I don't have my card binder at the moment, so I can't confirm or deny if all or most Wizard magazine promo cards have "Wizard" on them. The trading card set, more likely than not is from the early to mid 1990's.

Okay, so after posting this same question in two different subreddits, I finally got an answer. For those who are wondering, the cards are D2 Battlestone and D1 Magnus (I'm a fan of Magnus Robot Fighter, but didn't recognize him in street clothes!) chase cards from the Deathmate trading card set. Those cards are rare, 1 in every 90 packs. While Deathmate trading card boxes are cheap, finding those chase cards and buying them individually is not. I found two ebay listings for the Magnus card and one Amazon listing for the Battlestone card. The Battlestone card was $8 shipped!

Well, at least I have an answer!

Magnus Robot Fighter! I'm a big fan of this overlooked comic book character. Been a fan since his Gold Key reprint days and that great Valiant relaunch in the early 90s. Nice to hear others are as well.

I became a fan of Magnus Robot Fighter after reading a random, destroyed issue of Magnus Robot Fighter vs Predator that was used as packing material for other comics I bought at the time. I'm only familiar with the Valiant relaunch and have only a small amount of Magnus comics, but I think he's pretty cool!

Do yourself a favor and track down the series. It should be easy to find as the original was reprinted a lot.

Here's a link to the Valiant reboot, uploaded online.

You're welcome!

Got'em! They were by no means cheap, but it was worth it! The Battlestone card came in a lot with 7 other cards for $7 shipped. The Magnus card was $5.50 shipped or something close to that and it has a little edge wear. I'm trying not to let it bother me. I know spending that kind of money on trading cards is a bit ridiculous to some people, but those cards have been on my wish list for years. They are something I never thought I'd own.
