Upcoming Marvel Set?

Deathgate · 11-05-2019, 11:53 PM

So, I saw a post from an artist on Facebook (not naming names, don't want to get anyone in trouble) who posted, and then removed, a picture of blank Upper Deck AP cards he had for commission...

for Marvel's Runaways

Anyone hear anything about this set, such as physical, e-pack only, signers, whether it will actually be released, etc?

Upper Deck posted this Tweet back in 2017, so maybe the Runaways set has been brewing for awhile:

Marvel’s Runaways Season 1 trading cards, available exclusively on Upper Deck e-Pack®, will feature:

1 Sketch card or actor Autograph card per pack, on average!

Astonishing 1-of-1 Sketch cards from a variety of talented artists, including Effix, Abdul Ghofur, Dominic Racho, and more!

Looks like a redux of Agent Carter, with 1-card packs holding either an auto or sketch. Price point $25 again?

I'd be happy with that price point. Hoping for Karolina and Nico autos as they were my favorite characters in the show

mjohnatgt · 11-09-2020, 05:04 PM

Agent Carter had some real stars and ones that had cameos in the real MCU. Not sure this will sell nearly as well. Watching the first episode now so I have some idea what the set is about.
Auto short-printing was for real in that set, so the Achievements were almost impossible if you didn't spend $10K or so to get the auto SPs in packs. Not sure how desirable the sketch cards for this set will be. Have to see the subjects and the sketch artists. Guess we'll find out the checklist, achievements, and sketch artists at Noon ET on Wednesday.

People I recognize from other shows:
Annie Wersching: Renee Walker from 24.
Kevin Weisman: Ray the ex-con from Scorpion.
Victor character: Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel.
Jonah: Dr. Doom from Fantastic Four movies.

~~Wasn't Agent Carter $10-15/pack? didn't think it was $25 but memory could be wrong~~

Went back and checked my account history and looks like I was wrong, they were $25/pack. If that's the case I think I'm going to steer clear James Masters is probably the only person I wouldn't mind a sig of from the show and I think its probably unlikely he is in this set and the sketches ill just pick up a few I like from comc later.

mjohnatgt · 11-09-2020, 07:27 PM

They were $96/box and it looks like I only purchased them in box format. 4 packs per box, same as here. So my $25/pack was correct.

I think with the lack of stars who are in the MCU, this could be $15/pack. Any more and I don't think it's a buy. I will be active when they all show up on COMC and buy at the bottom. Could be some actors/actresses to stash for the future.

Rictor · 11-10-2020, 04:35 AM

The Runaways comic books have been coming out for 17 years, so there is a fan base there for the sketches. All of the characters have been rare in other sketch sets, so there will probably be some interest from character collectors. As with most Marvel sets, even Agent Carter, there will probably be sketches unrelated to the show. Agent Carter had lots of sketches of Spider-Man, Hulk, and other popular characters.

The TV show lasted 3 seasons, so more popular than Agent Carter.

I'll be in for any main cast autos. I like the comic and the show.

mjohnatgt · 11-10-2020, 04:10 PM

For a show called The Runaways, they really make you wait. I've been watching for seven hours and nobody has run away yet.

LMAO.

what time?

mjohnatgt · 11-10-2020, 06:19 PM

Read the previous posts in the thread. Noon ET. At least that's the time they normally start every new release on ePack.

BlueForTheVirus · 11-11-2020, 12:22 PM

Set has dropped. They're 29.99 a pack/114.99 box.

Got the two autos I was hoping for, so I'm happy. I can imagine this product will be around for a while and may see some sales. Julian McMahon would've been a great addition to this set, but he's not in it.

mjohnatgt · 11-11-2020, 12:22 PM

Bought 6 packs, got a Hulk sketch by Celix, and autos from Karolina and Niko. None of the cards that would contribute to a 4-panel sketch achievement.

N8theGR8 · 11-11-2020, 01:12 PM

I have an ePack addiction so of course I bought a pack. Pulled Virginia Gardner auto..is that a good one to get?

As a fan of the show, I'd say yes definitely. I'm not familiar with what she's done outside of Runaways however. Which goes for most of the young cast tbh

Awesome! I knew before I purchased that for some reason that was the only name I felt like I had heard before so when I pulled it I thought it could be at least worth the $30 buy in. I just always buy at least a pack of almost everything released...it’s a problem haha

Have not watched the show yet but bought 1, figure that's a decent pull as the numbered Variant autos have no odds.

Edit: Just noticed this is for the 4 panel sketch achievement so if anyone's going for it it's for trade - user Zeldafan. Like cool Marvel sketches, mostly Squirrel Girl, Winter Soldier Falcon Cap, and autos. Been looking for an Enver Gjokaj auto from Agent Carter, one of the few I don't own.

Yep, character is kind of boring, but don't send to COMC or it loses its power of redeeming for a 4-panel sketch.

Gurds · 11-11-2020, 05:15 PM

Bought one pack

GFD18 · 11-11-2020, 07:43 PM

I bought 3 packs total spread throughout the day. Was really hoping for a sketch.

I definitely lucked out wih the Ray Racho sketch! Especially considering it is of a popular character. All 3 cards are available. Im GFD18 on epack

thuy · 11-11-2020, 11:03 PM

Tried 8 packs. Got 6 autos and 2 sketches

powder132366 · 11-12-2020, 07:30 AM

I picked up two yesterday when it dropped and hit two Wanted autographs (Amanda Suk, Heather Olt). Tried one more this morning and got a Mauro Fodra sketch. Don't think I'll try any more at the price point. Really surprised they were not able to get James Marsters to sign.

mjohnatgt · 11-13-2020, 10:02 AM

Maybe a third of the product has been broken so far, but nobody has claimed an achievement yet. Most available /50 auto is Wersching with 17 unhidden on the ePack site. Looks like nowhere near the auto production levels done for the Agent Carter set. Dual autos look really rare.
Sketch quality pretty good looking at the ones on COMC and ePack.
