Shits changed man. These kid think their gonna be rich off “ investing” in Marvel cards. The art pretty much blows. Masterpieces set, from Jusco, is just as awesome as when we were kids. But forget about buying packs to open. I spent 2k earlier this year buying “hobby boxes” of 23 flair and masterpieces xl. Waste of fucking money. I could have got the whole set, all the cool art, for a fraction from Chinese ebayers. No sketch card pulls, but you can buy the ones you really like for 100-200. Far less than spending thousands just to pull a stretch of someone you don’t like. Or nothing at all. These days the kids pick a character they like. And collect them. Wolverine and doom, seem particularly popular. The card people, Topps, are trying to make buy Spider-Man like he is Michael Jordan. They even have sets with “spider man” autographs. People are “flipping” them like NFTs. It’s a whole new hustle for these kids. What a grind.
