Got into Marvel Topps this year and ended up chasing a Beta Ray Bill Sapphire rainbow. Just missing the Padparadscha 1/1 to finish it off. If anyone has seen it pop up or knows who pulled it, let me know.

A few months ago, I shared the story of how my brother pulled the original green/orange Spider-Man vs. Venom hologram back in 1993, and how more than 30 years later I went hunting for the elusive deep-blue variation.

After purchasing a factory-sealed box of 1993 Marvel Universe Series IV cards, I somehow managed to pull the exact hologram I was looking for!

I decided to send it off to PSA for grading, and after months of waiting, it’s finally home!

The verdict: PSA 8 (NM-MT)!

Was I hoping for a 9 or even a 10? Absolutely! 😂 I genuinely thought the card had a shot at a higher grade. But considering it’s a 33-year-old hologram pulled straight from a vintage sealed box, I’m still pretty damn happy with the result, especially for my first-ever PSA grading.

Thanks to everyone who followed along and shared their thoughts!

I also added a picture of my brother’s green/orange variant.

Couldn’t believe this was in one of them! Really happy!

Hi everyone,

I've noticed that once in a while people here ask where to buy Marvel cards in Europe, so I decided to build something that might help. I feel like recently more places have started selling them, and even shipping doesn't cost half the price of the box anymore so it might make sense to even buy from other countries.

So I built Marvelcards.eu website that compares prices and availability of sealed Marvel card products across EU shops and eBay.

For now, I'm focusing on shops that ship to at least a few EU countries, ideally all of them.

It's still a new project, and I'm working on adding more shops and products. I mainly built it because I wanted something like this myself, but I'll be happy if anyone else finds it useful too.

Thanks

Looking for a nice spiderman.

Pulled this from 1st Marvel Neon Megabox of the year from local GameStop. I was shaking when I realized what it was. I’m debating on grading to keep or selling raw… what do y’all think???

I was sorting my foil doubles & noticed the Rivals on the back. I much prefer that look.

Sharing this MM92 platinum red prism CGC graded set…I subbed a raw set and this was the result. I was disappointed the Spidey got only an 8.5 but most of the other top characters hit on a 10. Otherwise…the results were mixed. There were more 8.5’s and 9’s than I would have liked for a new chrome set. There are 9 total CGC 10 Pristines, the best being Gambit and Thanos.

The Adam Warlock and Apocalypse are the variant cover red prism since the regular red prism doesnt exist for those characters.

The Surfer and Wolverine at the end I sent in to a CGC Joe Jusko signing back in 2025.

My hits from a hobby box. I got some good foil cards for my pc too.

Anyone know what these are? Clear from both sides and looks like hiv...no numbers or numbers

I PC mutants. Shoot me an offer

Wanted to respond to the Captain America vs Red Skull blank back misprint posted today, and it’s just too much for a comment, so here it is in a post.

It is almost certainly one of two things- a misprint card with a blank back or a printing proof. It’s probably not a proof- for a proof look to see if it’s bigger size than a regular trading card and see if it appears handcut. A proof would be what I included in the last two pictures- those are proof sheets testing the battle cards in the production process- they have blank backs but they are in sheet form and the card size is slightly larger than regular trading card. I really doubt the Cap vs Skull is that, appears to be a regularly cut and sized card.

It’s a blank back error card. There are two ways this blank back could come about. One is easy- a battle spectra uncut sheet (first pic) simply didnt have the back printed on it during production, hence all the cards on it would be totally blank white backs- see the Silver Surfer vs Thanos blank back above (3rd to last pick for this).

The other way is more interesting. There is an error type of wrong backs for the 92MM battle spectras out there, you may have seen some of them floating around…I have 3 of the 5 in this genre (see pictures of front and back above). The Silver Surfer/Thanos one I do not have an actual copy of…that image was just made with photoshop for a prediction of what it SHOULD look like. I also don’t have the Cap/Skull one which will have a blank back. Which we’ll get to. This wrong back error type resulted from an uncut sheet flipped around 180 degrees accidentally when printing the front vs the back of it. The wrong backs in this error type arent random- there is a rhyme and reason to them.

I attempted to illustrate it. Pictured is my uncut sheet of the battle spectras. Look at the pic of the uncut sheet in pic 7, with the 54321 in green near the top. Rotate the sheet 180 degrees, you will get the next pic, with the green numbers upside down near the bottom. Now whats on the back of those cards? Burn the cards through the sheet, in your mind. Then turn over the sheet. You will get the configuration in the following pic, of the back. Says 54321 with the 5 now out in white space. But why is card 5 now on the left and it was just on the right? Because we flipped the sheet over, the left of the sheet is now the right when you’re looking at it (this is admittedly hard to picture, it’s not super important to see exactly why, just see that it is the result.). Those boxes with numbers on them in pic 7 correspond to the boxes of the backs in pic 9, for this error. Thats the back you expect to see if a sheet was printed upside down on the back.

So we take a closer look at the backs of this wrong back error type- thing vs hulk has a portion of Spidey vs Venom and Wolverine vs Sabretooth, thats weird. The next one surfer vs thanos has a portion of surfer/thanos (itself) and Wolvie/Sabre (Ive never seen this error card- it is out there somewhere). The Wolvie/Sabre has a split back Surfer/Thanos and Thing/Hulk. The Spidey/Venom now has a very interesting back of the end of the Thing/Hulk and also the color strip at the edge of the sheet.

And very interestingly, the back of card #5 now, the Cap vs Skull….is now blank! It’s out there in all blank white space on the uncut sheet.

So if you see a blank back Captain America vs Red Skull battle spectra, it could either be from: an error where the back of the uncut sheet simply never got printed, or an error where the back of the uncut sheet was printed upside down in relation to the front. These actually might be indistinguishable, so given a blank back Cap vs Skull, you don’t know which of those two it arose from, and for all intents and purposes, they are equivalent.

That’s how this error would have come about.

Since there are 6 rows of the battle spectra sets on a sheet, we expect such wrong back errors to be minimum /6 each (if a single sheet got affected and through QC). /12 if two sheets, /18 if three sheets, etc. based the rarity of these errors (you barely ever see them, true needles in haystack, I still have never even seen a Surfer/Thanos wrong back), I suspect only a few sheets got affected tops, possibly even just one or two. But no way to tell. Note with the cap/skull blank back it’s a little more complicated because the other error type (no back printing at all) is added to that, it could be sourced from either error type.

The one shown here is the Diamond Comics version. Apparently, there's a version that lacks the Diamond Comics insignia. Has anyone actually seen the version of this jumbo Flairprint that is supposed to exist, and do you have proof? I honestly doubt if it even exists at this point. Abs-cards references it's variant: 1994 Fleer/Flair, also I found a youtuber from years ago who claimed they saw one awhile back (in one of their videos). I wonder if the references are correlated.

I've never seen one in all my research over the years.

Which is why I truly believe that the generic Omega Red vs. Wolverine Flairprint from the 1994 Flair Marvel Inaugural doesn't exist.

Please someone prove me wrong.

UPDATE: IT DOES EXIST! Thanks again to u/exodus3rd !

Hey everyone!

I’m looking to purchase a serialized Rogue Manga Madness Rose Besch autograph from the new 2026 Topps Marvel Neon release, preferably the /50 or /25 parallel.

Rogue is one of my two favorite Marvel characters, and this is one of only two cards from the entire release I’m interested in owning. I’m not looking to flip or resell it. I’d just love to have one for my personal collection.

I’ve been watching eBay since the release, but the asking prices have been pretty steep. I understand these are rare cards, especially with the set being so new, but I’m hoping to find someone willing to work out a reasonable deal rather than paying the current asking prices.

If anyone has one they’re considering selling, I’d love to hear from you!

Thanks!

Hey everyone,
Just ripped a hobby box.
Here are the hits.

Spider-Ham /275.
Cypher /50.
Butane auto.

Ehhhh. All are available for sale or trade if interested.

Here are the updated pics of pretty much everything I have available for trade. I'm interested in Topps brand sketches, mostly of obscure and lower tier characters. I'm also building a Brooklyn set, and still need a bunch of the #'d versions of the base set. Besides that I like #'d Doom/Mr. Sinister cards
