WHAT A CARD!

TV's America's Most Wanted has ordered them. So have police departments around the country. Since hitting stores in May, the True Crime Trading Cards set, which includes serial killers and mass murderers, has stirred protest from parents and legislators and enough sales-8 million cards are in circulation-to spawn a sequel (see related story on page 80). To ship in November, the next grisly pack will feature Robert Alton Harris (who was executed in April for killing two teens) and Andrei Chikatilo (left; recently apprehended in Russia for 55 murders). Also included: Lizzie Borden, Leopold and Loeb, and 50 other sociopaths, at 99 cents a dozen. Meanwhile, Eclipse Enterprises, the cards' California-based publisher, has been joined by the American Civil Liberties Union and a New York trading card seller in a suit against Nassau County, N.Y., where sale of the cards to minors has been forbidden, with a penalty of a year in jail. Undaunted, Eclipse is pressing ahead with plans for a Part III. As Eclipse publisher Catherine Yronwode notes, ''We never run out of subjects.''
