2022 Marvel Masterpieces on Epack tomorrow 9AM PT!

[DynaEtch]

Finally picked up the Beast #73, last remaining one I needed for the what if 1-81 set. Man that tier 3 was brutal even given the post-release comc flood. For a data point, paid $25.25 for the Beast. There is one left currently at $50.

Picked it up for $70 which I think is fair. The older sketches are definitely harder to search thru. Probably still some good deals to be had if someone decides to comb them all.

Thanks, it was definitely calling out to me!

I’ve also picked up a couple nice sketches from MM22 off of COMC. I loved this Iron Spider and might end up slabbing it.

Great sketch, who is the artist?

Also, your inbox is full. Sent you a message on ePack about a card on COMC.

Yeah I had to hide a Prelim Art Redemption because certain people kept coming in with weak offers on it to I guess possibly have me hit the wrong button.

[bloodwings19]

I've had 5 offers within 2 days for a Battle Spectrum Red, all these COMC wise guys offering 50% below last eBay sold (and last sold was 1 week ago). I have one more BSG-R that isn't on COMC and was offered more than 75% off on ePack. I can't wait to get on hand and start getting legit offers.

Hard to compare with recent ebay sales since the epack drop happened in between and prices have come down with everything now that the supply is doubled. A better idea of current market is to look where other similar BSG reds are priced on comc and what they are selling for.

That's Superior Spider-Man (Doc Ock in Spidey's Body), not Iron-Spider.

[LittleJimmies]

I really wish the Galactus-Surfer BSG art didn't take up 99% of the card real estate. I love the art, but it left no room for any gem-iness.

Was able to get a red dr strange for $101. Sometimes a lowball works lol.

I elite scanned the sketch above and boy do the colors really pop in the new scan… looks like a brand new card!



Artist is Brian Atkins.

You aren't kidding, the colors look fantastic

Man MM was a fun product. I spent waaaaay too much, but got some really cool cards, some I will keep, some to move. The sketches were a little meh for me though. It seems like the bar is much lower for this premier product where the few sketches I pulled out of other marvel products were generally stronger. Here are my sketches I got and you can see one of the FUW as a comparison.

Looks like prices are beginning to rebound already.

Canvas up, purples up etc.

The Black Cat Purple I bought for $8 is now listed at $26 for the lowest COMC price.

I do think average sketch quality is down in this product. There are some absolute bangers but are rare. This was a trend for other recent UD sets as well such as Premier.

Sketch quality is always hit or miss in MM imo, 1sketch per box means lots of sketches = medicore quality on a lot of them. You can still get some really good ones but as mentioned there tends to be a lot of mid ones

I strongly agree with this and it is kind of weird.


That said, I really do like all of Joe Rubinstein's sketches for this set, especially yours




They're all quickies but still contain a lot of style

MM07-MM20 were 1 per box, but these were at least 1 per 3 boxes (unless ePack was different…1 in 3 for physical).

It’s true though we shouldn’t expect avg quality to be at the level of like Metal or MM XL where it’s like 1 in a case, if that.

I shouldn’t be too harsh because I’m still seeing several I like. But more just from a totality standpoint.

[DynaEtch]

On the note of ones that don’t break the bank but still are cool looking, a couple pickups….

On epack sketch odds were listed at 1:29 (so ~2.5 boxes). Slightly better than physical.

Ah, it did seem slightly better than physical.

Great you screenshotted that, didn’t think to do that

Anyone selling any of their T4 base or variant covers on ePack? Trying to wrap things up on the achievements and trading has slowed down dramatically

Check out my epack under briandls. I have a couple T4's and a few variant covers

I still have the Venom Variant Cover #1/50 that I'm selling, its listed in B/S/T forum.

The trading has definitely died down after the initial excitement and the number of unredeemed T4 cards left on epack is getting pretty low.

Does anyone else think that they missed a big opportunity to get people to buy other cards by announcing a week/2 weeks earlier than release to maybe drive marvel buyers to the site and help clear their other sets. I feel like once this trading and sales are over for me, I will only be going back to the site if there is 75%+ off sales.

Maybe there will be a resurgence when the first DC sets get released
