Well, if you like crossovers and specifically Universe Beyond crossovers from Magic the Gathering, then last September there was an interesting one and I am just getting around to my pick ups from it now...
I am not a huge Marvel guy, but I know enough of the Superheroes and for Spider-Man, the 90s cartoon was my favourite of the IP to come from it. I used the rest of my trade in value to pick up these packs and some of the singles, as well as some other artifact singles I usually wouldn't spend as much on to buy, so we can look at those too...
Some cards for The List, which are reprints of old cards and shown with the planeswalker symbol in the bottom left corner. I need to find a good way to track these as it's hard, understandably, for TCDB to track the releases for these as they depend per set and cross many sets.
The Ticking Gnomes comes from the 1999 reprint of top placing decks from the World Championships this year.
I picked up a number of artifact cards from the core sets for a number of different years, picking some more expensive cards like the Coat of Arms (almost $30 CDN). Really great cards to play with, and great to add to the collection, but just not ones I want to pay out of pocket but being able to "trade" a bunch of common traders to 401games for credit to use on these - amazing.
The Super-Man set had a bunch of artifact cards which I also picked up to start the collection from that set. I like that the set symbol is a little Spider-Man head - thumbs up for that one. I wonder if they would have used webbing if it wasn't so much like Ice Age's snowflake.
Makes sense that his Suit would be an artifact....actually a lot do make sense, so I give them a thumbs up on that too.
I like that both the scans with wandering cards being scanned are the Living Brain....living indeed!
I don't think the value is going to be there on the Super-Man set the way Final Fantasy has gone, but the cards are still fun and collectible. Like having them from that aspect, and not looking to retire on them!
Saw some box of these on Target's website and thought about buying one. Ended up passing on it, because it's not really something I collect. But I would like to add one of the foil cards of Spider-Man to toss in my gaming binder.
ReplyDeleteAnyone looking to buy now rather than when it first came out - the collector packs are almost half the price they were when first released. Still expensive, but much better than they were.
DeleteLove the hot dog card!
