It was such a groundbreaking set. Hopefully some younger people can have similar experiences with this one, and not just old people like me buying them up!
I walked up to the counter to buy a Beckett and the owner Steve was just opening up a box of Marvel Masterpiece to set next to the other comic cards. I was big into comics but really only collected basketball and hockey cards but that Hulk called my name. I think they were 2.50 a pack which was on par with upperdeck but I grabbed two packs. I ripped them right there and pulled a prism silver surfer Thanos. I was happy but Steve was ecstatic and offered me $45 right then. I took the riches and promptly took my parents to McDonald's for pizza. I would go on to complete the entire base set but wouldn't pull another battle prism. Last summer I bought all 5 for 85 on eBay and they came in mint condition and smelled pack fresh. Best set I ever collected and I've collected all the best ones. Jusko still putting money in pockets what a legend.
They must have made a lot of this product if you only got 1 numbered card and it was out of /992. Obviously you got some other nice rarer cards but still I would have expected at least 1 lower numbered (under /99) parallel for $300 and maybe 3 total. Thanks for sharing!
This set is available on Upper Deck e-Pack now, priced at $210 a box. You can see info here: www.upperdeckepack.com/News/27130/Marvel_Masterpieces__92_Platinum_is_Now_Available Update - now sold out on e-Pack. Was likely not a 50/50 split for this one. www.upperdeckepack.com/News/27361/Sold_Out_Notice__Marvel_Masterpieces__92_Platinum
Thanks for checking it out! At the price point there really should be more serialized cards. In the prior Marvel Platinum release you get like 4 serial numbered cards. And I'm pretty sure one is /99 or better.
Great pulls I am getting a box for Christmas can’t wait to open. Love that Rainbow Rouge, plexi doom, canvas wolverine, blue beast, blue IW, clear cut black cat was nice and a super funny pull of how it was stacked. Slightly disappointed to see just one number card though.
i started collecting in 93 with the 93 masterpieces. i didnt get the jusko set until years later so i dont have much nostalgia for it. therefore this almost seems like a totally new release to me. i really like the marvel platinum format and had a lot of fun collecting those. i especially like the variant cover subset. a nice modern upgrade to the original set.
I was very excited about this set, but only seeing one numbered card and it being numbered to 992 feels criminal. This was clearly printed to the moon and not going to order more than the box I pre ordered. Guessing blasters is the way to go.
Very nice video. As an owner of the original 92 complete set (base, spectra, lost ladies) in PSA 9, this set waters down the legacy of the original art by Jusko.
I had the set back in the day. Didn't realize they where chrome cards. The inserts are cool of the ones you got. But I agree, it's probly about $100 more then it should be.
I am not sure I like these more or less then the original stuff from 92 but I do really like some of the parallels. They look awesome but the price for a box is crazy. And I would only be looking for like 4 characters anyway so single is the way for me.
I had all the sets and it taught me to draw back then as a 13 year old, I cannot remember if Julie Bell and Boris Vallejo were in that set, but this is before watching the video 😅😅🎉
Thank you, ya'll went all out with the parallels, I like that there are several parallel varieties for people to chase. And you guys have been very busy getting sets out!
These are great. Best MM set ever made. I have the originals but I'd love to get some variants. Price is a bit steep though especially compared to Marvel Platinum which the blasters came out to $1 per card and you could get amazing hits.
For someone (me) who didn't get into collecting when '92 jusko masterpieces first released, do you think it would be more worthwhile for me to buy the blaster boxes to complete just the base set? I started with 94 hildebrandt masterpieces - first exposure to marvel cards as a kid back in elementary school.
I think blasters would be an efficient way to go, or maybe look for base sets on eBay from breakers in a few weeks. Or even an original 1992 set, they are probably not much more than what a blaster will be. The 1994 set is so good, I love the Hildebrandt's art.
Do the canvas cards have a nice feel to them like the 1995 masterpieces canvas cards or are they just regular paper like the marvel annual canvas card?
Those would both make for a neat set. Singles is the way to go, really hoping we get concrete e-Pack info soon to know if we can hunt for stuff on COMC.
I did see that mentioned, there is some good info about it on Blowout Cards Forums. I checked my base Adam Warlock, and it is the correct back. I wish I had flipped that one around in my video.
@ I was lucky enough to hit a red PMG of Adam Warlock and initially missed that it had the wrong back… will be interesting to see how collectors go after the master set
Funny enough, the Strong Guy card has always had the wrong first cover appearance on the back. The cover on the back is the first appearance of the character Sunder. Hilariously they remastered this entire card set and didn't fix that original mistake.
My snarky answer is nostalgia =) Pricing is frustrating. The UD hobby product goes from manufacturer -> distributor -> retailer, and there are only a handful of authorized internet retailers so there isn't enough competition. LCS can have better pricing if you have one. Upper Deck also has their direct to consumer platform, Upper Deck e-Pack. Sets that are sold there usually have about half of the print run released, give or take. So if '92 Platinum does get released on it, there is about half of the product that has not yet hit the market yet. After it does prices should drift down. I think today's announcement of Marvel Masterpieces 24 also drives prices down. But only time will tell.
A blaster box is a retail SKU that is often stocked at places like Walmart and Target. Also called value boxes. For this set, they will have 8 packs of 3 cards, should be around $35, but don't have the chances to pull the crazy rare and low numbered cards. Great for set building and to participate without spending the high price of a hobby box.
I'm planning on keeping it for now and don't currently sell direct, but thank you for asking. If you want to reach me I have an email set on my channel page. Click the ...more and then "View email address".
Glad you paid 300.00 for the box. I know I am not that gullable... When are you people going to learn??? Paying 300.00 for 12 packs with no real auto's or memorabilia in it. No solid silver, gold, platinum, palladium cards??? No diamonds??? Geez, you think they could randomly put 100.00 bills in a pack!!! I paid like 40.00 dollars for a box of 1992 masterpieces back in 1992, and I thought that was crazy back then. Ty for sharing the insanity!!!
This set doesn't really interest me, I'm not too keen on the art, but it's clear how much you're enjoying it. The comparison of New vs Old was quite interesting, but I've got to say the colours on the original set pop a bit more.
The new cards are pretty desaturated compared to the original. I'm wondering if it's the nature of printing on the chrome stock or if it's something else. Kind of surprised how good the colors on the old cards look.
@@icollectthings It could be due to the card stock, yeah. It would make sense anyway. I forgot to say I enjoyed the video as always, and I look forward to each one.
It's tough, unless my box is an outlier the print run is pretty big. Had not to compare it to Marvel Platinum and Avengers Metal where you get multiple per box.
300$ is a joke in my opinion. I pre ordered the new Spider-Man set for 89$ a box. Original artwork and 5 numbered cards per pox. Comes out around Christmas.
As if 20 different parallel sets and an impossible to complete base set wasn’t bad enough, now they’re just reprinting 30 year old art and still charging an ultra premium price? Paying $6 a card is insane. You can buy a master set of the original ‘92 set for less than a box of this.
Your audio and video is so much better than other marvel card UA-camrs! The time you spend on the cards is perfect too!
Seeing that Wolverine card unlocked a core memory! Fun times collecting as a kid!
It was such a groundbreaking set. Hopefully some younger people can have similar experiences with this one, and not just old people like me buying them up!

Love the Plexi! I pulled a plexi as well! Enjoyed the rip. Hoping blasters are better!
I just saw yours, pretty solid box IMO! I"m glad to see there are boxes out there with more than 1 serial numbered card.

I remember the original from when I was a kid. They were sick and I always wanted them. Thanks for sharing
299/992 is a cool reciprocal mirror number for numbered parallel that you got!
Good call!
The plexi Doom is really really cool
I am loving this set! congrats on the pulls
There's a lot to enjoy, it's a fun release. With the steep price, I am hoping for that sweet e-Pack to COMC pipeline for singles.
@@icollectthings yeah fomo has got me into a couple breaks, but havent hit yet. def gonna be hunting singles
Nice pulls but at 300 price point a couple of more numbered cards would be nice. Thanks for sharing.

I have most of my original cards from 92 in a binder.
Awesome vid !

nice box opening! Thank you for sharing

Julie Bell and Boris Vallejo did the 1996 set, and it's an amazing one. Also very expensive and sought after.
Very nice. They did change it up enough with inserts so that it's not just a straight-up rerelease
Yeah lots of fun inserts to go after. Hopefully it does get released on e-Pack as planned and singles will be available on COMC.
Check the back of that Adam Warlock. It might contain the error back of Apocalypse.
It is the error version! Will be interesting to see how many errors vs corrected there are.
Great hits Mark!
Thank you, ya'll went all out with the parallels, I like that there are several parallel varieties for people to chase. And you guys have been very busy getting sets out!

Those Marvel Platinum blasters were amazing. I wish retail had more releases like it.
Nice inserts. However $300 is a bit much.
Born in 85, grew up in the comic shops and on 90's xmen and pack openings. I wouldn't pay half this price 😅
What does the leather feel like? Compared to canvas or wood?
Very nice set with varied inserts that make it A+ for me. In my top 5.
Will definitely pick up a blaster box if it ain’t too overpriced

loved this set. still own it :)
Do the canvas cards have a nice feel to them like the 1995 masterpieces canvas cards or are they just regular paper like the marvel annual canvas card?
They seem just like the Marvel Annual canvas parallels to me.
That pink numbered card had a pull tab or something at the top. Like it had something inside of it…
Man I love collecting things.
How many cards total to collect for a complete set with variants
The acetate and plexis are my favorite. Price is way too high for me though. I might try to pick up some singles.
Those would both make for a neat set. Singles is the way to go, really hoping we get concrete e-Pack info soon to know if we can hunt for stuff on COMC.
Damn these started at $300? Got a few for $185 and was already thinking it was pricey.
Yeah it was bonkers for a preorder price, I'm glad I only went for 1 for the video. $150-180ish seems like a good price to me.
Have you seen the Warlock and Apocalypse with switched backs?
I did see that mentioned, there is some good info about it on Blowout Cards Forums. I checked my base Adam Warlock, and it is the correct back. I wish I had flipped that one around in my video.
@ I was lucky enough to hit a red PMG of Adam Warlock and initially missed that it had the wrong back… will be interesting to see how collectors go after the master set
Check if the leather card is a glow in the dark card. The 90's Ghost Rider had glow in he dark cards that looked like those.
No glow in the dark on these leather. I love those old 90s Comic Images Ghost Rider glow in the dark cards.
Wheres the pmg arent they 1 per box like the avengers metal?
Sadly only 1-2 PMG per case of 18 boxes =(
Funny enough, the Strong Guy card has always had the wrong first cover appearance on the back. The cover on the back is the first appearance of the character Sunder. Hilariously they remastered this entire card set and didn't fix that original mistake.
Interesting, they kept the cover the same but they did change the text from New Mutants Annual #1 to New Mutants #29.
@@icollectthings Also crazy for them to pull Megan, Mandarin, and PUNISHER from the set to insert the lost ladies cards.
Was hoping to see multiple PMGs like Metal 😅
I wish! Might not even get more than 1 per case 😬
I have the original set in my attic
300$ seems super expensive, what drives those prices? I play MTG but you can use those cards to play a game, I must be missing something.
My snarky answer is nostalgia =)

So many dupes in one box
No! Sorry Marcel your not getting my money! Same art with just different background gimmicks. Screw you marvel, I’ll stick with the originals!
NGL the originals look infinitely better than these o.O. And I'm normally a whore for shiny things, but these look pretty cheap.
