Glad I didn’t bore the living daylights out of everyone with the long post about card numbering

Not a lot to update, but a couple small pickups, one of which posted in the other thread but wanted to contain these all in this thread. The first this 94MM Carnage holofoil.


I know what some are thinking…Dyna’s at it again, collecting trash. A poor condition card with tons of surface damage. And then posting it on the forum no less.

This of course is not the case, and is an error card. That is not paper loss or scuffs. It is foil, in places where it shouldn’t be. The card is totally smooth, and those bits are reflective foil. It cannot be replicated by altering a regular 94MM carnage holofoil (try to dig into a card…it will be all scratched up, ripped, and indented, showing obvious damage, and certainly not be smooth). This “extra foil spots” error is the second in the genre that I’ve come across, the other being a Cap America from post #283.



I am working on a massive “rainbow” of this specific Carnage holofoil due to all the errors of it (why a huge percentage of error 94MM Holofoils are carnage is a perplexing question). Will try to post the progress on that soon.

This is the other pickup, silly as it is not an error card at all, just an error slab. Second one to date. Compared to the pop of psa graded MM cards out there, the % of upside down error slabs has to be super small considering this is the second I’ve personally come across. Does this have any collectible value at all beyond a normal Hobgoblin PSA 8? Debatable. It realistically doesnt make sense it should. But it does to me….if for only the rarity and weirdness.
