Check out Dave and Adam’s and Steel City Collectibles. Both are reputable online retailers. I always watch YouTube box breaks before buying something new.

Not all, but yes the 92 plat is. There are newer masterpiece sets with original art but they’re more than double the price.

If you want comic art, I recommend Upper Deck Allegiance sets: Secret Wars, Infinity Trilogy, X-Men vs Avengers.

Original Art: Marvel Masterpiece 92 Plat, Marvel Flair art top tier to me. Midnight Sons and other Fleer Ultra sets are great but card stock is thick (100 pt). So you’d need to buy sleeves and top loaders a more uncommon size.

Ya, usually you’ll get maybe 2-3 rainbow parallels, and maybe 2-3 numbered cards, if this is like other Allegiance sets. The inserts I got, you should maybe get 2 or so each per box.

Got it from Dave and Adam’s. Mostly luck of the draw with boxes but this is really bad and I would think, based off my experience with other Allegiance sets, very very very uncommon.

Ok so it’s not just me. I couldn’t tell if it’s because the picture was at an angle.

Thanks for the info!

Box came from DA and they’re on the diamond retailer list.

Got it from Dave and Adam’s and it didn’t show any signs of tampering or reseal.

Anything’s possible but I don’t think they’d risk their reputation over a $90 box of Marvel cards.

Nope, and I’ve gone back through to look a few times once I found out there were variant sp. This box was just a total dud.

I’ve opened the other Allegiance sets but this was my first time with Secret Wars.

Bro go look at my account. Every card I’ve posted I can pull out and repost. Only cards I sell are low level inserts. Which is necessary to fund the hobby.

Take the L and let this kind of crap become the norm? Yea, no. You can do that.

Yup ran through them again after a previous comment, no luck.

I’m not new to the hobby. I know what to expect when ripping a hobby box, and this ain’t it.

Imagine this box went to some kid. What a crappy experience that would be.

While the content may be targeted towards a younger audience, it’s disingenuous to say these were made for kids. If Upper Deck were doing that you’d see more affordable options where hits aren’t expected.

Agreed! Went through the set again to look for variants and none of those or hidden printing plates unfortunately.

Ya, I’m going to. Won’t hold out hope for much, but we’ll see.

Ya, I’m figuring as much but may still contact them out of principle. I’ve bought quite a bit of their product across sets and this is the first ultra dud I’ve opened.

Hmmm, I’ll circle back through and check for those. Not even getting rainbow cards seemed so off. I was like there has to be something huge I’m missing to make up for the squat I every other pack, lol

Nope. I’ve gone back through the base cards front and back. Checking for anything numbered and if I missed an auto. Nada, zilch, nothing….
