#BEST MARVEL TRADING CARD SETS FULL#
Need I say more? The back of the card gives full credit to the artist. And it's always fun debating and comparing powers. That gives it more context then just slabbing art on a card.

We get a picture of their power, toughness, and ability (Debatable stats I know). Marvel Collect is not a playable fighting game but it gets close to using "stats". Another aspect why card games like Yugioh, Magic The Gathering, and Pokemon are still around is STATS. More then just the art, it gives a story and also an identity to know more.Įditor's Choice is also a top set. More then just a piece of art on a trading card and rarity.Ģ021 Base is probably the best set (and sets like it)! Know why? Click on the back of the card! It gives a mini bio for each character. The best sets in Marvel Collect aren't the sets with flashy graphics and cool borders. One can see the hidden quality today in Marvel Collect. Even though the physical trading industry is a shell of what it is today. The physical cards of the 1990's are held in high regard and value today.

While they do not actively support the secondary market, they only want to keep it out of their app (transmission feeds, within "trade" communications, etc). To be clear, buying & selling of digital cards is not frowned upon by Topps. In addition, requests for needs should be posted on the Buy/Sell/Trade thread or Daily Trading thread. No solicitation of your auctions unless on B/S/T thread which is stickied to the top of the sub. If there is an issue with the release of a set (incorrect odds, cost, cards not in packs, etc.) you may create a new thread for that, but anything to do with cosmetic or design errors should be put into the Daily Bugle. We have a daily discussion thread where you can point out all the errors you like, there does not need to be a separate thread for each one. going over the top with borderline vulgar descriptions is not. Criticizing cost, design, mechanics is fine. This is not the place to vent about Topps offering for sale anything, be it credit bundles, card bundles, etc. You may be warned, your post may be removed, and/or you can be muted if not banned. No criticism about F2P OR P2P players (classism), or their buying habits. No personal attacks (it is ok to disagree strongly with a viewpoint, just keep it civil.

Still, all of these cards illicited countless hours of enjoyment for me as a kid, as I reveled in the trivia on the back, and redrew the amazing images on the front.Įven today, seeing the sheer number of fresh, vibrant composition that the Hildebrandt’s came up with for so many different characters is a serious treat for the illustrator in me.Welcome to the discussion forum for Marvel Collect By Topps. Fortunately, you can now get these sets quite easily on Ebay for an incredibly reasonable price.

But that required a lot of money, and a great deal of luck. As a teenager, I would purchase sealed packs of the cards, hoping to acquire a complete set. The price per pack was decently high for such a small amount of cards, and the entire process of trying to acquire them all was the perfect business plan made to appeal to obsessive collectors. It was often a way to repackage pre-existing art and make it suitable for resale. So to have a collection of 140 paintings, depicting some of my favorite fantasy characters of all time, is huge treat that I was anxious to revisit.Ĭomic trading cards were a real success for comic publishers. The 1994 Marvel Masterpieces base set consists of more than 140 cards, all of which are hand painted by Greg and Tim Hildebrandt.Īny fan of fantasy art can appreciate what a staple the Brothers Hildebrandt are to the industry, as their Lord of the Rings work is still a mainstay of the genre. In particular, the 1994 set is a real favorite of mine. One the best trading card sets was the Marvel Masterpieces Series. In the 1990’s, comic books were enjoying an incredibly healthy revival, which spawned the creation of a ton of new comic book characters, several comic book companies, as well as a plethora of comic book themed trading card sets.
