Default 1992 MARVEL MASTERPIECES 30th Anniversary Book

I agree, if I had to guess it’ll be mostly backers themselves doing the B/S/T’ing regarding these amongst each other. Not all, but most of it. It’s the usual marvel card group, largely in the Facebook groups etc. That is still a decent pool of people, around 1600 backers, but compared to more mainstream stuff like UD’s marvel platinum set, it’s a narrow audience.

I would love if prices arent that high with these extras as I want to collect them, but we’ll see.

True- I could see the spidey gold being sold through a private sale or Goldin- if it does end up being for sale. If I get it in the 1 in zillion chance, I think I’d keep it as a collection centerpiece. That money sure would be tempting though..ha

Can anyone with a bronze card confirm what they would go in, say in a one-touch? Is it 180pt?

Thanks, good to know. I think this is the best looking way to store them from what I’m seeing. One touches

Warning: Lots of pictures in this post.

My package arrived early. Good news: I got everything I was supposed to from Tier 2 plus an extra bonus goodie. Bad news: The extra bonus goodie wasn't a redemption for a silver card or the gold Spidey.

Everything shipped in a small, plain white box. Inside were three white bubble mailers folded over and a clear bubble envelope with the color metal Hulk card.

The bubble mailer on the top had a black and white Doctor Strange sticker that said "Dr. Strange Can See There Is Something Extra Inside!"



I opened the other two bubble mailers first. One had a bronze Spider-Man card, the other had a bronze Psylocke card. Those were the Tier 2 exclusives that aren't exclusive anymore but at least I got both of them.

Inside the Doctor Strange bubble mailer was a bronze Hulk card. All three of the bronze cards were placed inside what look like team bags with clear tape on them.

As much as I love the beautiful colorized Psylocke bronze card, I'm kind of happy to have a complete set of the plain bronze cards. It's the equivalent of a base set, right? I'm definitely glad I didn't get one of the bizarre "Zombie" bronze cards. More pictures:





Comparison of the color metal Hulk card and the bronze Hulk card:





All three bronze cards have ### numbers stamped on the bottom:

Spider-Man 042


Psylocke 265


Hulk 320


I had seriously considered selling whatever extra bonus goodie I got but now I think I'll keep the 3-card bronze set together.

I'm thinking her face has been "zombified" on that variant.
The Zombie face is on the left. The standard bronze face is on the right.

Congrats on your haul, Bob, very nice!

Congrats Bob! I really think the zombie cards are just flawed castings that they didn't want to trash and make replacements for.

Glad to see that the Tier 2 stuff all came to you, and you got the bonus as you should expect, I was getting worried that it wouldn't be the case.

The zombie card looks odd. The other cards are cool though.

What awesome hauls! I am really digging the bronze all together like that, so in some ways nice the 3rd was a Hulk at least. It's good to see the pledges for tier 2s are coming in as advertised in the campaign.

The Psylocke zombie is way out of left field for me....but I think it looks kinda cool!

Couldnt this just be the silver 'color' spiderman shown below....which admittedly is pretty confusing. I guess in person you'd be able to see if it was real silver.

Says 999 FS (fine silver) on the side. It’s the real deal.

I also read that there would be vouchers for silver and gold cards. But that is a silver card.

So someone got a voucher, sent it in, then got the silver sent back, while several people havent even got a tracking number for their shipment. Huh.

Clearly not.

But I wouldn't expect certainty from anything FPG states.

I did get notifications from USPS but I got no tracking number from FPG.

I think this is because all I got was my metal cards, not the books. I assume the books are considered the main part of my pledge? I hope?

At this point it wouldn’t surprise me if the gold bar was also shipped straight up, no voucher.

They still haven’t shipped any books. This is just the extras that went out.

This was just the extras, but I do think most people are getting emails with tracking numbers from FPG.

Have any original art backers received packages yet?

The pic of the person holding the card is the least silver-looking silver card I have ever seen.
