Super7 Godzilla Showa Series Foil Trading Cards

[Dukefett]

Super7 has another trading card set coming out this month apparently. Doing it a lot different than recent GI Joe/Peanuts/Dungeons and Dragons. Packs are foil and not wax, and there's numbered parallels apparently of everything but stickers from what I can tell.

Inspired by the wax pack trading cards from back in the day, each flat of Showa Wax Pack Trading Cards contains 24 single packs, with five trading cards and one sticker in each pack. Secreted in a foil wrapper, There are 84 movie stills cards and12 monster profile cards to collect— each in foil or prism holofoil variants— as well as 12 different base stickers, which feature backing art that joins to form an epic kaiju battle mosaic! What’s more, the prism holofoil card variants are super-limited prints— there are only 54 black, 13 blue, 5 gold, and 1 silver prism holofoil cards!

I am excited for Godzilla but I find the number of cards in the set, plus character and stickers a bit much compared to what you get in the box. You're probably not going to make a perfect set in 1 box and they even say it. You get 120 cards per box and you'll probably get 2 sets of stickers, so kind of odd there'll be more of that insert sets than base sets. I wish there was some semblance of how many parallels you'd get per box, Super7 had seemingly fairly low print runs on their other boxes, so I'm hoping for some good stuff. I'm not sure but I think there are unnumbered foils along with the prism foils? That's what it sounds like from the wording. So really not sure what to expect. If you get a lot a base foils and parallels (ostensibly good) you reduce the regular base cards you get to make a full set.

As a Godzilla fan pretty stoked about this cuz there aren't many great cards to collect which is kind of surprising. The monster profile ones are definitely most exciting but some of the stills could be cool too

Looks like an awesome set, but too pricey for me.

[BobCollects]

Love Godzilla, don't love the price.

Just busted a box if anyone is interested.

Great breakdown! Curious what the singles of these go for once they hit eBay

Looking over the product page again, I noticed this below the examples of the chase cards: "Plus, search for additional secret inserts, limited to 1." I wonder what these 1/1 secret inserts could be.

Also: "Toho items are unavailable to be shipped to Japan."

I pulled a printing plate in my box, so I assume that’s probably at least part of the mystery. It would be really cool if other 1/1 inserts are also included.

Already down to $149.99 dlvd on eBay.

Nice I wonder where the boxes will settle at. If it's around $100 I'll definitely pick at least 1 up

As long as they're still on the site I can't imagine them going much lower - why would any reseller want to take an immediate loss?

I'm hoping for a Black Friday sale.

[BMc5280]

Ya I mean farther down the line. I hadn't thought of Black Friday though, that would be great!

Man, I still can't pull the trigger on this. It needs to be under $100.
