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!)

Hey.. i have a question 4 u... i had found the 5 sins of lipglass and i bought them for about 60 buck!! but i was a bit suspicious of them... what kind of paper are urs on. The ones that i recieved were very glossy like they had made picture copies or something. The paper was glossy compared to all other mac postcards. They tried to tell me that it was because they were candian?? thanks

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...
