Looks that way… COMC has had a lot of bulk auction listings and regularly listed Marvel items pop up recently that I think might be tied to some people leaving ePack and /or cleaning up accounts to coincide with UD losing the Marvel license.

Here’s a fun one… someone posted pretty much a whole subset of jockeys and horses from an old tobacco set. One stood out to me. Initially, I thought it was just an upside down COMC scan (it happens) but on further inspection it was a jockey falling off his horse. Any card that makes me laugh is an instabuy. Best 3 bucks I spent this week..,

Just picked this one up.... once I get the credit it will be headed to cgc

DynaEtch · 02-21-2025, 01:31 PM

An uncut sheet of the 1994 Fleer Amazing Spiderman 3D holograms. I thought the “approved” note on the back was a neat touch, probably this was a test sheet during production to be approved by Fleer…you better believe this thing would be approved due to sheer awesomeness! Probably the easiest production decision in the history of cards.

There was a Reddit thread not long ago where someone’s dad was the person who sculpted the actual sculptures used for these 3D holograms…had a pic of it and all. Really remarkable. There is a summary of how they made these holograms in the comic book Marvel Age #114 (a very layman version, the actual production is highly technical and super complicated).

I also got this one from 1990MU (as well as the Spidey vs Goblin, not shown). Someone beat me to the cooler ones like Spidey, Surfer, and Wolvie

Totally awesome pick-ups of Marvel card history there, Dyna.

There is 50 cards in the set...

finfangfan · 02-25-2025, 10:38 PM

I’m a sucker for a cool tobacco card. Picked up this Deaths Head moth…

finfangfan · 02-26-2025, 07:16 PM

Does a Milk Bone card of an athlete and his dog count as nonsports? At any rate, just discovered this set on the baseball forum and as an Orioles fan … and dog fan!.., I had to pick it up.

DynaEtch · 02-26-2025, 07:31 PM

Haha that's pretty great. Gotta love the 90s...could find a trading card in almost anything. Cereals, food boxes, mags, pizza hut vending machines....dog biscuits...

I’m just bummed PSA didn’t put Champagne’s name on the label!

EDIT: Actually, I would have paid double if the label listed Champagne and NOT Ripken. That would have been funny!

There is a lot of cool stuff on COMC!

Bookended the month of February with another cool comic pickup.

Super well presenting 5.0 there, very nice. Always been a big fan of Spidey 129
