Please click on the Tick -list poster to view the full Set. I have scanned each card and placed them in one coherent file for your viewing pleasure. Due to compression of PDF file's they are not as high resolution as my initial scans, however I believe they are still the highest definition scans you will find in one place.

Invader Special

The second special of Doctor Who: Battles in Time was published on 5 September 2007. It was edited by Claire Lister.The card-mounted special was priced at £5.99 and came with the following:

Two packs of Invader trading cards
An exclusive "Dalek Blaster" card

The first 11 pages of the special were available to view on the official Battles in Time website.

Invader Website

Accompanying the release of the Invader set was a new 'Battles in Time' website, found at www.battlesintimeinvader.com. Unfortunately, a significant portion of the website's Flash media is inaccessible. However, this image provides a glimpse of the homepage's appearance upon entering the site.

2008 Reprints

Towards the end of the run on the Invader print run, the Ultimate Monster Cards came out. This was followed by the joint packs containing Invader and Ultimate Monsters Cards. These later prints of the Invader cards had a subtle difference, and that was a higher print quality overall, as well as the BBC 2008 date mark on the rear with no website. Only the Commons and Rares and foil Super Rares were reprinted. Therefore there was no glow or embossed Super Rares, nor any Ultra Rares with this date mark.
