    Crazy how I’m 38 years old and still love pulling out my X-men card binders that I’ve had since childhood. I wish I would have put more thought into completing sets when I was a kid, but I didn’t know much about collecting and completing sets, value and all. I still remember the sound and feeling of opening new packs and even the smell of new cards. Nostalgic for sure. Great vid, my dude and thanks for taking me back to simpler times.

    i had this set as kids. we destroyed them cuz we threw our cards around like we were gambit.

    The first Marvel Masterpieces always hold a special place in my heart.

    Damn! I remember going to a card store and seeing the Marvel Masterpiece back in '92 and feel in love with the artwork. I bought boxes to complete the set, but my nephew got a hold of it and yeah.... got demolished. 😭😭😭

    When I was a kid I was starting to collect this set as well, but once Jordan came back, RIP to the marvel sets.

    @iselect1012 4 роки тому +7

    Love this! I had these in a binder & took them everywhere with me as a kid. Left them in my back pack at a boys & girls club & came back & someone stole them. Broke my heart as a kid. I would still have them till this day if that didn’t happen. Thanks for sharing brings back memories.

  • @davec2444
    @davec2444 4 роки тому +5

    1994 is completely painted by Greg & Tim Hildebrant, even the bonus cards! Gotta love Boris and Julie - thanks for sharing this.

  • @NFLDude56

    Those are some killer cards. When you covered the '92 set I picked up three boxes of the 2003 TMNT cards on ebay.

  • @kmartnintendork
    @kmartnintendork 4 роки тому +1

    Good score. 1996 was a turning point for Marvel with the bankruptcy. Many of the heroes who had their own titles wouldn’t be seen much for a few years. I got a lot of nostalgic feels looking at these with you, man. Thank you for sharing.

  • @matthewlee9879
    @matthewlee9879 4 роки тому +1

    Hey gem,I use to collect marvel trading cards in the 90s but over the years lost them due to moving constantly.however seeing the trade card collection brought back memories to me and I really enjoyed and appreciated it.

  • @Briar27
    @Briar27 4 роки тому +1

    Beautiful set! Going to look killer framed with your other set. Look forward to seeing them side by side when you get it finished.

  • @EivinSukoi
    @EivinSukoi 4 роки тому +1

    1998 a kid sold me an entire album of 94's on Marvel cards, I kept them for my kids , they became hook on them bought lots of them , kept them in plastic , I still have them , pretty sure i have double sets . Now my kids are abroad serving , the album , and cards are still in my safe .

  • @Slim-Boss

    Impeccable timing on the video I just dug out my marvel masterpieces 94' and 95 marvel flair.

  • @nerdming
    @nerdming 4 роки тому +4

    Love your videos Gem! They really bring back my childhood memories. Slight correction though...the 94 masterpiece set were done by the Hildebrandt bros. So a consistent set as well.

  • @chronoxiong

    I remember seeing these cards when I was young. Such great artwork. Miss these times. Congrats on getting this set.

  • @jrox1904
    @jrox1904 4 роки тому +6

    1994 fleer ultra x-men was my favorite loved the variety of art work on does .

  • @merkalmadness8641
    @merkalmadness8641 4 роки тому +1

    damn! $800 thats commitment. Boris and julies art is iconic. its def a gem to have this set in your collection. Im still missing the checklist, portraits, and 5/6 double impacts.

  • @grailcollector713
    @grailcollector713 4 роки тому +5

    You could frame the double impact cards in a shadow box style frame with a mirror back to show the art on the back. Do a nice marvel logo on it to set it off , that will allow you to frame , display , and see both sides of the cards and not have to buy two sets.

    • @Joe_Friday
      @Joe_Friday 4 роки тому

      Would there be a way to setup the mirrors to where you're not looking at a reverse image? This sounds quite interesting.

  • @Jmillz181
    @Jmillz181 4 роки тому +7

    3 best card art imo: wolverine in sewer, psylocke from double impact, and ghost rider card

  • @ericvasquez161
    @ericvasquez161 Рік тому

    This is awesome! Just the other day I was cleaning and found an entire binder of Marvel Masterpiece cards from my childhood in mint condition. I must have 200 cards from 92-96.

  • @comiccollectionagency7581
    @comiccollectionagency7581 4 роки тому +5

    I love trading cards, a sealed box of those goes for like $1000 if you can find one

  • @ExecutionerO
    @ExecutionerO 4 роки тому

    Great lookin set. So nostalgic. I missed out on this set but was in deep on the first few sets of marvel masterpieces. Loved how real they looked and a great way to learn about the characters.

  • @tygrus3495
    @tygrus3495 4 роки тому +2

    The cards from the Hildebrandt Brothers are amazing too. In my home town some guys picked only the female characters, so it was pretty hard to get these cards, Psylocke and Rogue, were the hardest ones (today we have internet and everything is happiness). Vallejo and Julie also created some of the art for the cards of Cybernary, some of them were also very appreciated for the collectors in the 90s. Besides Eternal Champions, Boris Vallejo also painted the art cover for Golden Axe II for Sega Genesis.

  • @strangerofthe2067
    @strangerofthe2067 4 роки тому +1

    I still have my complete first and second series in albums put away from when I was a kid. I absolutely love the Masterpieces series, and the first was my favorite.

    Killer set. Man, brought me back.

  • @biggdigg84
    @biggdigg84 4 роки тому +2

    I collected a lot of comic book cards when I was younger, but Marvel Masterpiece was always my favorite. I had most of this set. Beast is by far my favorite.

  • @spaceasteroid6528
    @spaceasteroid6528 4 роки тому +5

    My favorite was the 1994 Fleer Ultra X-Men base set.. This was my first time seeing this set though.

    • @drok3333
      @drok3333 4 роки тому

      I still have those. I like the 94 Flairs as well. So much pop in the color

  • @06mrselfdestruct
    @06mrselfdestruct 4 роки тому +1

    Awesome set bro, i have the 92 set too and always wondered why it was never worth that much money, over production killed a lot of collectibles in the 90's! My favorite two cards from the 92 set are Spider-man and Hulk

  • @Jmillz181
    @Jmillz181 4 роки тому +1

    My favorite set. Glad you made a video on it and got them.

    @ReyRoblesJunior 4 роки тому +1

    Damn thats sick, I swear I have this set somewhere in my garage, its midnight and Im gonna have to run and get my binder. I did find a box full of cards that are not in binders nor sleeves. Bunch of masterpieces and gold foiled signature ones. I iwll have to do something with them on my channel. Great video as always my guy.

  • @kelkel3201
    @kelkel3201 4 роки тому +3

    Very cool set but 93 was my favorite! Also the older ones w/ purple embroidery were cool! Even the wrestling cards and batman cards were awesome! Miss the best days ever! The Superman cards from the 90s were awesome too

  • @knivezinsane1839
    @knivezinsane1839 4 роки тому +3

    wow... I remember collecting this set. crazy how much is cost, never knew. I have the full base set, and the full golden frame set. Also 4 of the double impact ones. I remember searching ebay some years ago to try and complete my double impact. Just didn't feel like spending that much.

  • @zanesawesome369
    @zanesawesome369 4 роки тому

    You going old school with this one! I think I was one of the only kids who would buy these from my local comic shop. The art is amazing on the MM 96's but I gotta go with the 95's as my favorite, and that's probably due to, from what I remember, the MM 95 set coming out at the height of the comic card collecting game. Looking forward to seeing what this looks like framed!

  • @steelbat54
    @steelbat54 4 роки тому

    Nice set. Now I have to go look and see if I have that set. I was buying mostly shrink wrapped boxes of cards back then and just putting them away without opening them..

    Very nice collection! I still have some from back in the day. BTW, when you comment about the anatomy on some of the cards, let me tell you that Vallejo always uses pictures for reference, many times of his and Julie Bell's bodies, as they are/were both bodybuilders. :)

    @jasonhicks800 4 роки тому

    I will have to look and see which series I have then. I remember getting the series one year and thought they were cool and collected the subsequent years. Not sure if I have complete sets or not as I want to say I was missing some cards b/c I left spots in the binder sleeves blank. I could have been the special inserts or limited cards that I was missing. Some of these cards do look very familiar.

  • @themonkeyhand
    @themonkeyhand 4 роки тому +1

    I still love the old 90's X-men set, series 1. All Jim Lee art. For the $500 double cards get a double sided frame and rig some sort of sliding rack so you can flip it while wall-mounted.

    I have a few of the 94 masterpieces, I have a full set of the Fleer Ultra 95 X-men set. I remember only buying the packs because they were all foil printed, then they had the smaller sets within the main set. They had the Wolverine timeline cards, Lethal Weapons rainbow foil set, Haunted X-Mansion holloween set, and the 3D embossed Alternate X set. Took me back to elementary school with this vid, had to bust out the old card album lol
