Default 1992 MARVEL MASTERPIECES 30th Anniversary Book

This is what came with the OA round 1 pledge, very nice quality, heavy, and I like how they did the backs of these bronze. Red variant.



Likely gonna go for the rainbow of 6 colors (I’m realizing that I’m such a collector…it’s out there…gotta add it ). Apparently there are other variants besides the 6 colors, at least one full-color bronze (purple) Psylocke has been spotted on the bay, possibly a prototype or rare variant.

I’m trying to make sense of the serial numbering of the zombies but I can’t so far. They said 6 different colors, 100 of each. But the SN’s go up to 600. The natural thought is each grouping of 100 (0-100, 101-200, etc) is a different color. Based on eBay listings this can’t be the case since I spotted a yellow and green both in the 500’s, and two different blues- one in the 00’s and one in the ‘200s. My red above is 419. Interested to know the pattern of numbering if there is one.

Pulled a Green Psylocke Zombie variant and promptly listed on the bay

Throughly baffled at what these are fetching atm, would recommend to those who want one to wait a few weeks for them to come down

It's funny to me, how does the zombie theme even tie into MM'92? So random.

FOMO, and I've fallen for it already in some of the ones I bought.

I agree prices should come down since most of these are in the hundreds for print run, and more hit the market.

Yeah, I'm interested in both a bronze and silver Psylocke but just waiting it out right now. Trying to avoid even looking at them because the FOMO urge is strong

I take it not going for Zombies?

Yea good move to wait. The bronze Psylocke being in every tier 2 pledge should come down. Don’t think I saw the Psylocke silver yet, just that Spider-man silver that was asking like 10k. Silvers will probably be very tough to get, I was toying with trying to chase them as part of the set, but doubting it’s going to be possible now.

Speaking of early high sales, a hulk Metal /2000 (the one that comes with every pledge) sold for $66 at auction, thats like the cost of the entire basic pledge. It was one of the first to be auctioned though. A colored 1/1 metal hulk showing $850 sale on 130pt. That’s a pretty huge positive if someone got that as an extra to a basic $60 pledge.

Went for $82 plus shipping, they will likely come down a bit more although that's less than half what the first few went for

Oh no, you didn't get a Hulk bronze. Doubling up on the Psylockes is not ideal.

It looks like the silvers have been saved for the original art tiers, which makes sense because they're the most premium tier.

Hopefully, the person who pulls the gold Spidey shows it off.

If the silvers were all saved for the OA tiers then the statement about it being a double blind packout was a lie.

I don’t think so, I think it was just random. It looks like they aren’t hitting the market though (being held for the time being or sold through private sale perhaps). Most of the OAs should already have their extra, nearly all the round 1s at least, and silvers aren’t hitting the market much at all.

Here's a Spidey silver that got yanked off eBay: Link

Have you seen any Hulk and Psylocke silvers?

I haven’t, just that one spidey.

I’m not in some of the fb groups that are sharing what they got though.

I guess they just aren’t coming to market. Something also is I’m pretty sure a lot, if not most, of the international packages have yet to be delivered (from all the tiers including 1).

Just got a message that a bronze Psylocke zombie I bought off ebay (which I overpaid for, buying it early) was authenticated by AG. Surprise of the century lol, I thought there was no chance they would pass these and was expecting it to be miscategorized.

It's not even really a card, it's a hunk of bronze, plus it's a brand new Kickstarter exclusive. But they passed it. It isnt important to me either way if they did, just thought it was interesting.

I finally got my cards -- I lucked out and got the full regular bronze set. The Hulk metal plate card looks better in person with natural lighting.

These cards were definitely worth the delays.

I would agree with that if I collected bronze reproductions of cards. I do not. My bronze set is nothing more than I will toss in a drawer and forget about.

Dang, sorry to hear that. If only there was some way to know what the rewards were before kickstarting this project.

Right. But as I said probably a dozen pages back, I joined the Kickstarter for the book and nothing more. Everything else is just extraneous. And let's not forget that the extras were an attempt to make people forget the delays of the book.

Sorry -- you're right to be upset. For those like yourself who only wanted the book, the delay has been unacceptable.
