Anyone know the history behind these cards and what other characters might be in the set?

I picked these up a few years back from a Dealer. I have no idea what they are, but I liked them.

I'm hoping the newly returned Tattoo-x might be able to shed some light.

Very cool! But I don't have any info on these cards. I especially like the Vision one.

The cards are on the large side. You can fit 4 cards on a 8.5" x 11" page.

Thanks! It looks like there are 19 heroes altogether in the set and I have 12. I wonder who the other 7 are?

Holy cow! I had these as a kid! Mind you, I was only about 4 when I got them, but if I remember correctly, Ghost Rider was included in the set.

That's six of the seven I'm missing. One left to account for. I'm hoping it is Valkyrie, Nighthawk, or Adam Warlock.

That's alright. You still came up with names (and pics) of 6 of the missing 7. Pretty damn good in my book.

Thanks John!

Looks like Scarlet Witch is Lucky Number 7. Somehow that is appropriate. :)

Do you have this set by any chance?

Yes I do. I doubt anyone here could show me a set I don't know about. Nearly every set I know of, we have.

I knew you wouldn't let me down. :)

If you see any loose ones floating around at shows, I wouldn't mind finishing off my set. (one of each) You know I'm good for it. :)
