On the campaign page, it says every tier 2 gets a Spiderman and Psylocke bronze card (both bronze). Pretty sure it's just the tier 2, not OA or tier 1. So based on what's been going out, I dont think it's matching up with that. If someone got only a Psylocke bronze and not Spidey, or only a spidey bronze and not psylocke, not sure how that happens.

Looking closer at the Psylocke photo and comparing it to the Spider-Man photo, it does look silver to me.

I thought the Spidey looked a little different color also, more bronze. Hard to say. I guess if you had it in front of you there’d be a way to see if it’s silver…maybe they should have listed the variant on back like the Marvel Platinum set, ha.

Speaking of backs, that reverse of the Spidey bronze is fantastic, awesome attention to detail.

Glad people are starting to get the shipment notifications! Would love to see results if anyone wants to post them.

Tier 2 here, I received a shipping notification e-mail late yesterday evening but so far it's just a pre-shipment label confirmation. USPS doesn't have the item yet. I'll be sure to share what I get once it arrives.

Mine is estimated to deliver Monday.

I got a tracking number 2 hours ago. You can tell by the number itself whether it has any extra insurance on it, and mine doesnt, so unlikely for the Spidey gold, dang Didnt hit that 1:1600 chance or whatever it is (assuming indeed they are insuring that for extra). But will update when I get anything in hand.

To be fair it wouldn’t surprise me if the gold bar was shipped without extra insurance lol

Very true, good point. Actually now that I think about it, according to the Oct Update #12, they were pretty clear that they would ship them by having a team 1 sealing them in pouches, and handing them off as random sealed pouches to a team 2 that then ships them without knowing whats inside. If this is really the case, then I dont think there'd be a way to know which is the spidey to insure, so actually it wouldnt have insurance.

So there's hope yet I guess.... you're telling me there's a chance

Out of curiosity where are your packages coming from?

So far I am aware of PA and Florida.

Helps explain the jumble if multiple teams are sending these from different states.

I foresee some issues surrounding the the psylocke/spiderman thing and which tier gets what, based on what Im seeing in the comments and pics people are posting. Not sure if they remembered tier 2s were supposed to get both bronze, that was one of the selling points of that tier.

[BobCollects]

It's super confusing, that's for sure. FPG seems to be going out of its way NOT to explain the extras process.

FPG posted this to the main comment section yesterday: "The metal card and the guaranteed extra have shipped out now." Based on what little we've seen posted here and in the Kickstarter comments, people are getting the metal Hulk card and an extra card. That extra card may be a bronze Spider-Man or a bronze Psylocke, both of which are supposed to be exclusive to the Signed and Numbered, Slipcased Limited Edition (what we've been referring to as Tier 2).

There's also the 15 silver cards for Spider-Man, Psylocke, and Hulk plus the gold Spider-Man and the colored metal Hulk cards. I'm not sure any of the colored Hulks have surfaced yet. Someone mentioned a Hulk "doorstop" which is presumably the bronze Hulk.

If this is the case, either FPG made a big ole mistake or FPG has 1992 copies of the bronze Spider-Man and bronze Psylocke cards even though there were only 399 backers for Tier 2 and is sending those out as extras to Tier 1 backers.

I do kind of hate to keep criticizing FPG but this has been a mess from the minute the Kickstarter campaign ended.

Hulk bronze up on the bay, to see what it looks like. Not mine...1500 obo....(welp being first one I guess..). Listed as going through Authenticity Guarantee- now that would be interesting, their reaction to it

I also am having a hard time figuring out all the pledge rewards/lotto extras, and interplay between them, it is quite convoluted....but if Im not mistaken Hulk bronze was strictly a lotto extra, not part of any pledge reward, and should be out of 400 I think.

Yeah, they must have made extras.

From them in a kickstarter comment, this was a year ago though-

Yes, each card is individually numbered. There were around 800 of the Spideys minted and about 600 of the Psylocke. Many backers purchased multiples.

I also recall them saying some dealer bought out the remaining tier 2 books in one lot, but they were clear those didnt have the bronze cards, so the book itself is /1992 but the bronze cards less. But the problem is...a lot was said all these months ago...and Im not sure how much is actually going to end up being the case. It seems to be kinda all over the place at this point. Lotto extras..pledge rewards...all mixed together. Not sure if that has to do with rushing things to just get them out.

The extras themselves look very nice and made to a high standard from what I see.

Other relevant comments from way back on the limited bronze cards

There is going to be an announcement today or tomorrow that talks about "Any copies of this edition that are not sold-out through kickstarter will then be offered at a retail price of $450 (vs $295 on kickstarter) through stores etc." AND THERE WILL NOT BE ANY BRONZE CARDS AVAILABLE AFTER THE KICKSTARTER! So if 300, or 800, 0r 1,800 copies are pledged through kickstarter- - -then that’s it! The cards will no longer be limited to 1992, they will be limited to the much smaller number. !

FYI we will only produce as many bronze cards as books we sell ON KICKSTARTER. WE STOP PRODUCTION AFTER THAT

**Full disclosure

A dealer will be buying all remaining copies once the kickstarter is over. HE WILL NO RECEIVE ANY OF THE BRONZE CARDS. HE WILL BE SELLING THE BOOKS AT THE REGULAR PLANNED RETAIL PRICE OF $450

[DynaEtch]

Very early comments on kickstarter

YES, the bronze card will be numbered on the side and be strictly limited to only 1992

numbered and stamped directly into the bronze! we didn't want to play around! :-)

The /1992 is obviously out of date, but any chance the numbering happened? Did anyone look at the side of a bronze to see if it's numbered?

Numbers so far could be

Metal Hulk /2000 (confirmed, hard numbered)
Spider-Man bronze ~ /800
Psylocke bronze ~ /600
Hulk bronze /400
Hulk color metal /50 (each is a 1/1)
Spiderman silver /15
Hulk silver /15
Psylocke silver /15
Spiderman colored bronze /10
Spiderman gold /1

Thanks for the breakdown, Dyna. I guess we'll find out soon what's what.

[Fenian95]

Forgot about these 10. 1/1 colored Spidey cards. Purple one confirmed pulled.

[DynaEtch]

Oh wow, I must have totally missed those, dont recall them. Is it 10 or just those 8 shown?

[fabiani12333]

That's wild -- reminds me of the 1993 Spiderman vs Venom hologram color variations.

I think some people saw this

Apparently it does have a SN on the edge. The ebay listing was updated with a pic of the edge and the Hulk bronze has a number 286. Not an /out of number though.

I don't remember seeing these posted at the Kickstarter page, either. I wonder if there are colored Psylocke cards, too.

[cjbblue]

Still no tracking for me yet. I am just going to assume this means I am getting the Spidey 1/1.
