Even within that subset of collectors, though, there are a lot of big names absent (including Gambit and a certain metal-clawed Canadian). Still, with 2/3 of the set owned by a single person, I would think the demand for the remaining cards would be pretty high.
Of course, I unloaded all of my 2013 and 2015 Retro about two years ago, so I obviously don't know sh*t about the current collecting market.  |
It also didnt help that the art used for probably about half of FUXM metals was pretty bad whereas the base set was quite nice. FUSM, by in large, had solid choices in art usage and a better cast of characters. As a die hard X-Men guy, I thought the metal sets were the worst common insert.
I think FUXM fell in an era where using Gambit was a no-no.
