A couple are even the awesome foil-stamped ones that sometimes appeared in a pack (or under glass at the card shop for $10+ a piece).
Anyone Here Remember Comic Cards?
Re: Anyone Here Remember Comic Cards?
I've still got a stash of the X-Men cards Fleer used to produce.

Re: Anyone Here Remember Comic Cards?
I have a few sets of marvel master piece and xmen cards. Actually have an unopened box of mid 90's marvel master piece packs.
Picked up a lot of those chase cards a year or two ago at a swap meet.

Re: Anyone Here Remember Comic Cards?
I have two binders chock-full of trading cards. I once owned a good number of comic cards with cool art, usually Marvel based, I especially remember Spider-Man and X-Men. Now I just have a handful of odd ones here and there.
I did recently buy a sealed box of Archie trading cards and got a complete set. Because I'm a mature adult. :P
Most of my trading cards are from non-comic properties though. My favorite is probably my good-sized collection of Sakura Wars cards from Japan.

Re: Anyone Here Remember Comic Cards?
I had a nearly complete set of the Marvel Flair cards, then my local K-Mart stopped carrying them..I also came close to finishing one of the Marvel Masterpiece sets, but I can't remember what year it was.
I did have a complete set of Marvel X-men cards though. I also had a bunch of the Marvel Universe cards. I used to love how they provided stats and trivia on the back of the card.
Not too long ago, I ran across an unopened box of Deathmate cards, from the Image/Valiant crossover back in the 90's. I might see how much they want next time I go by that store..
Are there any companies that put out comic cards that aren't part of some collectible card game?

Re: Anyone Here Remember Comic Cards?
I have an almost complete set of Marvel Impel cards from 1993:

I know I am missing 3 of the red foil ones (which are missing from that site). And a couple of the dual cards. But it has been almost twenty years since I collected them.

Re: Anyone Here Remember Comic Cards?
yeah love that set. I remember buying packs. I got maybe a total of three of those red chase cards on my own. I'd say about a year ago I picked up all the rest at a swap meet. Nice to have the full page but I'm missing a handful of the rest of the set.fastbilly1 wrote:I have an almost complete set of Marvel Impel cards from 1993:

Re: Anyone Here Remember Comic Cards?
I have the Marvel 1990 set, but without a single hologram. I still take them out from time to time to read the back of the cards and check their power ratings.
I remember some kids would take a pin and scratch the top of packs to see if a hologram was included. Rotten little punks.

You might want to check out series III of the marvel set. Its only of the biggest sets and has all kinds of awesome stats.Luke wrote:I have the Marvel 1990 set, but without a single hologram. I still take them out from time to time to read the back of the cards and check their power ratings.

Re: Anyone Here Remember Comic Cards?
I was more into collecting comic book cards than comics as a kid. I believe the sets I collected most were Marvel Universe Series 3 and X-Men Series 2. Good times. I still have them all, but I think they're at my parents' house.
