My own MM collection which began in 1992 currently ends with 2016, which I luckily picked up enough of on ePack when they were live to be able to trade my way to everything I wanted (base regular and What If 1-81, plus regular Gallery 91-100, and regular spectra and holofoil sets), all except for 82-90. I would've loved them, of course, but I was priced out of the high numbers and the mirages along with the 2018 and 2020 editions entirely. I could see myself spending again on 2023(?), but it would depend on the artist

95 has one of the coolest themes of any MM set imo with the whole Dare to Compare. A set that not only has great art, but top notch branded design.
2007/2008 MM is an interesting bag for me. Sadly I wasnt actively collecting during those releases and only got back into Marvel cards around maybe 2012ish. On the one hand the sets have the rehashed art/lackluster base....but so much else about the sets I actually really like. From the chance at stellar sketches, to the designs of the cards and inserts, even down to the updated logo (shown in OP). I've been on a mission to fully understand the retail release of these sets, and actually made a breakthrough on this recently- on its way in the mail as we speak. But I still have questions about that.
Id say you did a lot for 2016! It might go down as the best 'epack time' in the history of epack: 2016 Jusko MM. When we can all look back from today and long for those $150ish high quality boxes.
