I have one of those silver foil Venom cards. Apparently the gold foil one is more valuable.

1993 Masterpieces probably has the most well known comic artists with names like Kaluta, Steranko, Sienkiewicz in it...oddly enough it’s one of the least popular sets. The design of the cards and characters for the insert set was definitely not my favorite.

1993 Masterpieces was a trial run.  Trying to figure out what the market really want.  Artist like Steranko was just trying to hard to be more artistic for my taste.  Sienkiewicz  was just being Sienkiewicz.

The insert set was really the worst choice for characters. They did 2099 characters but didnt even bother to do the decent charcters like hulk 2099, spiderman 2099, or doom 2099.

Spider-Man 2099 is a base card in the set painted by Jusko. Doom 2099, Hulk 2099, Punisher 2099 are all in the base set.

Yes I know, I have it. It's probably the most slight after card. I think they should have done him again for the insert set to make those desirable but I guess they want to try out other characters.

Print run on 96 is a lot lower than 92-94 MM sets.

 

It sure is. I hear different things about 95. I think it was more mass produced than 96 but less than 92-94...and those mirages are extremely rare. I'm working on the emotion set now and it is not easy either.

They were trying to make X-Men 2099 happen, since X-Men was such a hot commodity in the early 90’s...except X-Men 2099 and basically the whole 2099 Universe really caught on. 
 
Too bad they wasted Bob Larkin’s art on those characters.

The X-Men cards are the Wal-Mart subset.

I was going through my 94 Fleer Ultra set and found #98 Iceman card has no number (it would be above the fleer logo on the back bottom right). I have 2 so I assume it's not truly an error card. Anyone know if there's one with the number on it?

Yes I know about those now. When I was a kid they were just a rumor lol. Nice cards.

I found some Pepsi/Fleer  Marvel cards from 1994 that are in Spanish. These particular cards are uncut, two across and two high, and are folded in half, as if they were an insert in a book or a magazine. I see regular versions of these cards on ebay, but can't find the uncut ones. As I'm near the Mexican border, I suspect they are from Mexico.

Any information on them would be appreciated.
