Killer Instinct Cards – Booster Pack

One of my favourite collectibles of all time would be Topp’s Killer Instinct Cards. I remember back when the game was popular on the SNES, they sold these promo cards at almost every convenient store.

Killer Instinct Cards – 3 Booster Pack Boxes

Since I have 3 of these sealed Killer Instinct Booster Pack boxes, I decided to finally open one up out of curiosity. I have an opened Starter Deck lying somewhere, but I’ve been looking at those same cards over and over again.

Killer Instinct Cards – Open Box

Once opened, the flaps folds up to a nice display.

Killer Instinct Cards – Stack Of 24 Booster Packs

Each box comes with 24 booster packs. It was a hassle trying to open them all.

Killer Instinct Cards – Front Side Booster Packs

Killer Instinct Cards – Back Side Booster Packs

Killer Instinct Cards – Booster Pack Example

I have a great complication in identify which cards are Common, Uncommon, and Rare. If you happen to have a list of rarity card guides for Killer Instinct, please send them my way!
