Trading Card OA help... 0

OA Officianados,

Looking for some guidance on how one would go about tracking down X-men Trading Card original art (specifically the Kubert/Pennington piece in the picture). I’m sure it’s a super long shot, but I don’t even know where to start. Anyone know if this Wolverine piece was swiped from an existing comic page/cover by Kubert/Pennington or was it created specifically for the 1993 X-men 2 Trading Card?

 

Any help or info would be much appreciated!

Chances are much greater that it is original card art and not an image from a comic.

and just to be sure, you mean "tracking down", not "trading down" right? I had to do a double take, thought you had a cover and wanted to trade for the card art

I fixed it, thanks! Yes, definitely trying to track down the piece if anyone has any leads.

For anything kubert, I'd start by asking Spencer Beck

Seems to be with Essential Sequential these days. They have some kunert vintage art from this time period, both on the site and some not listed that they post on Instagram from time to time.

I'm not familiar with "kunert". Is he any good?

I don’t real deal with the pen and ink trading card art which this set was, but I would just send Kubert a message on Facebook and ask if he still has it.

That was my first thought but I can’t seem to find any contact info for Andy at all. He’s not on Facebook or any social media. Adam is everywhere, but Andy is not. Unless I’m missing something?
