Marvel Flair Annuals

[CompEng1]

This in my opinion was the pinnacle of the card business. I just thought the '94 set was beautifully done. It was a nice mix of art and computer art...after this set, it began to get ridiculous.

Oh God, I loved those cards sets. I still don't have the Rogue Flair card from 1995 and the Rogue and Gambit from 1994. These cards were nice and thick and hard to bend the corners! :D

Did you guys know that a collaborated effort between Marvel and Pepsi Co produced a reprinted version of some of these cards from both the 94'/95' series in Mexico. The Chase cards were Foil and Prismatic.....I have the set, can post pics if you like.....:)

[CompEng1]

I'm sure that we can fill in the holes in your card set between us...let me see if I have those that you need and I'd happily send them. i know it blows to need a couple of cards for your set and not wanting to buy a whole box and play the "hope, hope" game.

This is soooooooooo cool! This is just what I wanted this section for (and to show off some signed cards, etc.......). :D

[Tattoo-S]

Ok, guys....I am going to post some pics of some stuff that I am totally trying to catch right now....Anyone ever heard of Mego Museum? Apparently they have been giving out these cards (promotionally) and the set is already up to 13 or so.....I don't have all the details yet! The set so far is comprised of Marvel and DC w/a Tarzan (unsure of where he is really trademarked ?) There is a website www.MegoMuseum.com that is dedicated to the collectors of TOYS....as you can tell from the photos its the "Classic" toy line that is featured......I had a difficult time getting information about the "cards", but finally did. There is a fan forum for the Toy collectors and a membership, I think this is how the cards were distributed....:confused:

I am of course interested in getting all the cards (Hint Hint) if anyone ever comes into them w/extras or is unintersted in these particular cards.....

Rogue Hold on to your hat sissy....there is a WW card, (I don't have it yet) :( but I have no doubt that ultimately I will complete the set

Furthermore, there is a toy show (Mego Collectors Convention) in Wheeling West Virginia on June 2-3 where there will likely be cards given away....So if anyone might attent, please remember your collecting pals....:wink2:

[Tattoo-S]

Here is a pic of the ONLY (that I know of as yet!) X3 promo card....There is likely to be alot of premium promos for this movie, I expect to start seeing them crop up any minute. Anyhow if your interested in this you can get it at http://www.scifihobby.com/

[fossa]

to show off some signed cards :Dbragging already, and it is only the first day :p you must be as happy as a pig in s.h.i.t!

Gotta say I envy you that, I couldn't balance a checkbook until I was 20, I was horrible at math, I think I have a serious fear of numbers. Once I finished my R.E. Training, things were much easier, but yeah......I totally claim the Dumb Ass title in math....LOL :banghead:

These are the X3 promo cards I have. I know they are made by a specific seller, but they are still valuable in my eyes. :D

[fossa]

I still don't have the Rogue Flair card from 1995 and the Rogue and Gambit from 1994.Rogue,

Is that one card with both of them on it or 2 separate cards? It/they were not on the list you sent me.

This in my opinion was the pinnacle of the card business. I just thought the '94 set was beautifully done. It was a nice mix of art and computer art...after this set, it began to get ridiculous.
Personally, I thought this was the end.
Why thick cards? :banghead:
Why ulter art with computer enhancements? :banghead:

Some of the latter Spider-Man and X-men sets had nice art, but many series during the end of Fleers run were poorly done.

It was a big rush by card companies to push product and get a piece of the pie.
Hmmm, remind you of a product now days? :peoples:

this guy totally pisses me off, but he does make a nice product. I originally was going to just pick up the Beast card, but I fear we will have to buy the whole set.....(Damn completest mantality...) :sly2:

Nice.....:thumbs2:

Rogue,

F~ thats 2 different cards, showing also the card backs......:)

I hear you on he Flair stuff. The '95 Annuals were just ok, but I love the '94 set so much that I was sucked in. Probably doesn't hurt that the '94 set was the first card set that I ever completed and this gave me some pride. But I still think they are beautifully done, although I'd have to agree with you that I'd rather see paintings/drawings on cards than computer art.

[Rogue]

Rogue,

Is that one card with both of them on it or 2 separate cards? It/they were not on the list you sent me.
It's one card with the both of them on it with a red background. From the 1994 Flair Marvel Annual card set. :D

[Rogue]

F~ thats 2 different cards, showing also the card backs......:)
Yup, it's the scan of both the front of the card and the back of the card then put together on one image. Those are the scans from the auctions itself. The cards I have are Rogue #11 and Mystique #13, but the backs look exactly the same except the number difference and info. :D

[fossa]

[Rogue]

i don't have it :(
sniff sniff. booooooooooooooooooo :laugh:

Yup, Tatoo....I bought this off of ebay a few years back...complete set with chase cards and even official binder. The binder was creased up the wazoo but the cards were all mint. I remember paying $70 for it but it was on my want list for so long, I just cracked and bought it.

Looking at all the scans, is bringing up memories of my card collection. I think it's time to dig those babies up. Tatoo, did you ever collect the Overpower cards?....damn, I had a tough time collecting those. It took me forever and a lot of money but I finally finished including those damn Classic Overpower Inserts. I kind of wish I had started the new CCG game that's out now but I just couldn't bring myself to start because I knew it would mean I had to complete those too. Way too much money....I'm hoping I can pick up a complete set on ebay somewhere down the line.

Actually the Overpower was fairly easy for us, and Yes, we have complete sets/decks of all the Marvel Gaming stuff starting w/OP....however when we began the Marvel Vs. System stuff we got would we could and kind of put them on the non priority list, staying on top of the Ultra Rares, promos and con/tourney exclusives is costly and time consuming. So we try to trade out for the decks, but stay on top of everything else.....:thumbs2:

Anyone here do the GENIO decks.....?

[yodanut]

Never got into Genio...bought a few packs and there were too many cards that pictured non-Marvel characters.

Yeah, I really only wanted the Marvel ones, there are some 36 or so I think. I have some extras around here somewhere, I will have to dig these up....but I will find mine and post a picture :)

Did you ever get all the Super Hero header cards? I am still missing a few :banghead:

[CompEng1]

not sure what you mean..but if I have them..you're welcome to them.

[Tattoo-S]

The "Header" cards were the Super hero cards, in the book, like Hulk teaching a subject like science......Spiderman teaching like biology etc...80% of the cards were non superhero......You know....:confused:

[Tattoo-S]

It's really had to explain via posting. LOL ;)

[CompEng1]

I think I get it...let me take a look. BTW...I'm tasking my wife with mailing the science exhibit cards to you tomorrow...I apparently can't be trusted to get them out on time....best laid plans of comic collectors often...well, you get it. Life gets in the way, then it's a year later...better pass it on to someone who is more responsible.
