Marvel Masterpieces
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marvel Masterpieces was the name of several subsequent sets of trading cards depicting characters and events from Marvel Comics. Individual packs sold for around $6.95, depending on your region. Featuring large, vividly drawn card fronts and backs detailing trivia, each card showcased a different personality from Marvel's body of work.
The art from the first two Masterpieces sets were used, without authorization, as the artwork for the type of vinyl stickers that can found at the entrance to Pizza Huts and grocery stores throughout America.
There was also a set of pop-up cards, distributed in sets of six with the Marvel Activity Sets. They measured about 1 1/4" by 1 1/2".
The first set, which came out in 1992, entirely consisted of pictures drawn by Joe Jusko and was published by Skybox.
Box: 36 packs of 6 cards. Common sets: approx. 2.13 per box if collation were perfect.
