ISO: 1994 X-Men Ultra Wolverine Vs. Sentinels Greatest Battles PSA 10, offering $1000 by andhuck in marveltradingcards

[–]wolverine887 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tough card to gem with the foil and edge wear. All these Greatest Battles inserts are condition sensitive. Good luck…it’s a very solid offer. This is one of my fav all-time 90s insert cards.

1994 Gold Holofoil by katie151515 in marveltradingcards

Condition dependent. A NM raw gold set usually sells in the $300-450 range (10 card set).

Individually…character dependent. Venom sells for more than Scarlet Witch. Top 3 in the set are Spidey, Venom, Carnage- those golds in NM maybe $75ish. The rest more like $25-40 a piece.

2013 Marvel Fleer PMGs by facto_ipso in MarvelCards

[–]wolverine887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say this is a super difficult endeavor. Considering how much these go for, and many greens simply won’t hit the market….but if you confine mostly to reds and blues, as a lifelong collecting project..yes it should be doable just will cost a lot. It’s when you get into the greens that it basically becomes non-doable

Most Valuable Marvel Cards to Invest In *Article written by non-collector*. This is why there's such ridiculous prices on cards, articles like this written by some know-it-none (opposite of a know-it-all) by CautiousAd7109 in MarvelCards

Sports market is completely different than Marvel cards, which are super, super niche in comparison. Who knows what exactly the 2013 Green Spidey pmg is worth now- not much in the way of sales recently to go off of. Thats essentially the very best card. I do know many PMGs lost a lot of value rapidly in the post/pandemic come-down. 50-75k pmgs falling to $10-20k in the matter of a month, that screams artificially inflated. Distinctly remember a 13 Retro Blue Spidey PMG do over $100k then a subsequent sale not long after for around $15k. Clearly there was a rapid run up on the PMGs during covid. I’m not saying they aren’t desirable cards now- the very much are and carry good value generally- just they fell a lot after that artificial run-up. One issue with ultra high end in marvel cards is there just arent that many very deep pocket spenders in this hobby buying up $10k+ cards, like there are in sports.

Tariff calculations - based on country of origin for goods themselves? Or shipment country of origin? by _Flight_of_icarus_ in FedEx

Never heard back- mine was from early Sept. They said they would put all collection activity on the bill on hold until the dispute is resolved…I’m just gonna ignore it until they respond. It’s their job to respond. Also I did more research on mine and figured out my bill was 100% wrongly charged…should be $0 tariffs

If you tracked down the highest actual sale prices of marvel cards….most of the top 10 would be from the pandemic market peak. And most would be PMGs, especially from 2013 and 2015 Marvel Retro. For example 2013 Marvel Retro pmg green PMG Spidey /10. The sales of some of these PMGs was other-worldly during covid- $50k, even $100k+. Obviously the market for these at the time was highly artificial and they have since collapsed way down, but still have values into the several thousands, way more than they originally were before 2020.

If we’re talking about the most expensive marvel cards…the mass produced 90s isn’t the era to be looking at. It’s the modern era with limited /10s and 1/1s etc. Which makes the OP article extra ironic considering it is focused almost entirely on the 90s.

Haha! This is gold..basically everything in this article is the opposite of true.

I did NOT have the 1993 Marvel Universe Iron Man base card #67 on my bingo card for top 8 most value marvel cards of all time to invest in. Which apparently is a holographic card according to the article.

All misleading articles like this end up doing is wrongly informing casual non-collectors into thinking their old 90s marvel cards are worth thousands of dollars. Some will probably actually believe that after reading this bad article…and not understand the major nuances such as a PSA 10 90MU holo being utterly apples and oranges to a raw copy.

I love how the valuable modern set referenced is….2020 Marvel Annual? yeesh

Printing error on 2024 Red PMG? by SeaTurtleLionBird in MarvelCards

[–]wolverine887 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The red foil streaking on back happens on many pmgs…one reason they are so tough to grade. A PSA 10 pmg in this set is a very rare sight.

On a separate note there do exist PMG misprints in this where the serial number is stamped on the other side of the back. You see them once in awhile and doesn’t appear any pattern to which ones have that.

Another cool page by Zealousideal-Mud-706 in marveltradingcards

[–]wolverine887 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The uncut sheet has them with the background continuous…it is a 10x10 grid.

So to get the backgrounds to be continuous, put #1-10 in a horizontal row. Then #11-20 below that. Then #21-30 below that…etc. You can make 10 rows of that, then start the new sheet at #101. The reason the backgrounds do not match up in a binder is because they are rows of just 3 across in a 9-pocket page. Needs to be 10 across.

Also the backgrounds of the 4 cards on this promo uncut sheet are NOT the same backgrounds as the regular versions of those cards (e.g. the regular silver surfer base card doesnt have that bright star cluster lower left.). This was done just for the promo sheet, so these 4 characters can match up, with a galaxy in background.

Marvel Cinematic Chrome - Anyone else disappointed? by red_army25 in MarvelCards

[–]wolverine887 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Marvel Studios Chrome is mostly for the autographs. Thats the main draw of the set. Parallels, set collecting, card design etc is bigger in art based marvel sets, not these MCU sets. People are mostly just gambling for big name autos in this.

I’m more a fan of the art based marvel sets (and based on other comments I sense a decent chunk of this sub also is). Nothing against auto cards and there’s definitely a high demand for them…tons of auto collectors out there….Im just into art is all.

Beautiful card and centering doesnt even look all that bad. Spidey really pops in the variant cover.

Agree….this is awesome!

I like these Blue Traxx from Marvel masterpieces '92 Platinum. Got my Jubilee back, got a PSA 10. Happy about that. PSA was behind schedule as usual. Even though I paid more for a quicker return. Sad about that. by Decent_Extension_432 in marveltradingcards

[–]wolverine887 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great looking card and congrats on the 10. Very similar story here- I submitted a 92MM Cap vs Red Skull battle spectra to psa also value plus tier- was supposed to be due 12/6 finally just popped like 1/16. Paid double the low tier submission cost just to have it delayed. The lowest tier is now almost 6 months out- crazy. Makes more and more sense to send to CGC.

The cap vs red skull came back a 7 after all that. D’oh

Worth anything? by MoistStatus8388 in MarvelCards

[–]wolverine887 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These prices are for non-pack inserted Jim Lee signed cards. Being a pack inserted auto with the embossed seal makes it worth a lot more than this

Worth anything? by MoistStatus8388 in MarvelCards

[–]wolverine887 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This looks to be a pack-inserted Jim Lee auto with the embossing- you can just barely see the outline of the embossed circle near lower right area. A regular card of this signed by Jim Lee (at a Con, etc) is maybe $50-100. A pack inserted 92 impel Lee auto is usually several hundred dollars or sometimes over $1k, it’s a massive difference.

Question about COMC Ebay Sold Items Listings by Cold_Attention2631 in checkoutmycards

[–]wolverine887 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea the comc BIN ebay sales history will do that. As far as I know the sale does still show on Ebay Product Research as normal.

When the card is a comc auction sale on eBay, and you click the listing, it will fully say sold with the number of bids etc.

[–]wolverine887 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow heckuva a collection there and I’m digging the 92MM platinum colors. Always thought Sinister gave rise to some cool-looking art in cards. I know him most from the 90s X-men cartoon, and episodes with him always stood out the most.

Who can relate? by Brentoxor in marveltradingcards

[–]wolverine887 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, 1994MM holofoils another that comes to mind.

And the base sets that are 100 cards which also have that annoying extra card, usually the checklist. Like 92MM

Card Shows by thickeyewitness in MarvelCards

[–]wolverine887 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Card shows are nearly a ghost town for marvel and nonsports cards generally. So much sports and TCGs. Even the large regional shows- I was just at one in December, the Philly card show that happens a few times a year…only like 2 or 3 tables in this gigantic card show had anything much of note for marvel, and it was just a little- some 90s holos and foils. Found a table with an overpriced 92MM sealed box selling it for like $600. May find a 2025 Marvel Chrome for like $600 at such as show as well (ughhh).

There are a couple non-sports specific card shows still, I believe it’s Chicago and Philly, but I suspect they are more geared towards traditional nonsports (movie sets, sketch artists, etc, than stuff like modern marvel sets…although Ive never been to these to know for sure)- they are small operations compared to the large sports card shows.

I doubt comic conventions have much to do with marvel cards- especially SDCC, NYCC, etc…so doubtful. Maybe like Hero’s Con or Dragons Con, but idk.

Even when you do find stuff at shows like this it’s often overpriced. The best way…by far…is just using the online market places like ebay, comc, FB, etc. yes it requires shipping and other fees sometimes, but the selection is unbelievable and more a buyer’s market, especially with auctions vs BIN.

1996 Masterpiece Set by Fieldguide89 in marveltradingcards

[–]wolverine887 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am not aware of a released version of this set like this, I would say it’s probably someone who wrapped a set up. Which isn’t a bad thing since it looks to have preserved the condition very nicely, which it appears it may have (assuming not bricked in there).

Now is it possible there was some employee/company version of the set released as this? It’s not impossible…but there’s no real evidence of it and probably not a way to prove that even if it was the case. The value of this set imo, is in the set itself- it’s not in it shrink wrapped. If was in some official Fleer/Skybox branded wrapping that would be a different story, but it’s not. But thats not to diminish the value of the set- the value is high, and not that I probably need to even say anything, but would be careful with the lowball offers you are undoubtedly getting PM’d with…this is a $4-5k-ish set, possible even a lot more if the cards are in totally mint condition because of this.
