Car Wars was one of those systems that actually got played quite a bit, so finding minty counter sheets is easier said than done.

I listed items individually, and a lot was uncut and at least excellent condition. I was hoping for about $300, and I ended up getting over $700 after all the fees. I was very happy. There were lots of interested buyers from all over the world. (Well, the English-speaking world, anyway.) I shipped to folks in the US, Canada, UK, and Australia. Lots of buyers from Australia, actually.
