Wow, those look pretty sweet. I haven't seen them anywhere. Where did you pick those up at the time?

These cards are great fun. Although very difficult to obtain. They are used at birthday parties, special events, conventions and or Marvel promotional events. Most we have had to pick up on Ebay over the years, they vary in price from $5.00 on up. Most of the ones we have had to purchase were all $9.99 or better. It is very confusing to keep track of them, as there are normally a couple per year, and often are only subtle changes so you may think you already have it, come to find out you don't, and now the mission begins again. :confused:
Some we have been able to obtain though the trade network that he have established.
CE1~I think I may have a duplicate of the most recent that I got at Wonder Con this year from the promotion of the "Ultimate Avengers" DVD....I will find it and set it aside, if you'd like it PM me and it's yours with any of the Annual cards I may find for you. :thumbs2:

It is the card in the center of the photo w/Spiderman on top and Hulk on the bottom of the "Marvel Character Appearances" logo. :)

Well, it doesn't look like I'll get that whole set and am not sure that I want to drive myself insane trying to find all the ones I missed. In that I don't envy you..hehe. However, I would like that card...it's sweet and it has a pic of the Thing on it, who happens to be my favorite Marvel Char. If you're sure that you want to part with it, then great...if not, don't worry about it...there are many more card sets for me to busy myself with now that I'm back in the hunt! I'm trying to keep this fun, when it gets to taking lots of my time or giving me stress, then I'm just going to unplug and drink beer. :)

Sounds like a plan...:thumbs2:

I think with the right resources and the ability to be "patient" collecting cards is very fun and even dare I say somewhat relaxing....for me, but X has a totally different (non-patient) objective. :D Hehehehehe

My holy grail Marvel Card was a sketchagraph by Gene Colan of The Submariner and an autographed card of Sal Buscema.
