It's just a refractor parallel. It's maybe a $2 or $3 card.

Yet I just bought a few cards from Australia and they were shipped insured and with tracking for about $11.
As an Aussie this is the norm anytime I wanna get individual cards from the US. I sometimes find a ultra rare ebay seller with super low shipping, pay the 30 bucks in shipping or hit up COMC and buy there. It sucks when 90% of the supply is in a different country :P

My first experience with a UK pumper, just sounds more sophisticated while doing it . Needless to say if you paid $500-700 for that box, you were getting absolutely destroyed. And he was hyping like this was an awesome result.

Nice to see international shamelessness too.

I have two boxes coming from a friend in Europe. Not sure if I want to open them. A Frank Miller sketch would be a PC crown jewel.

I saw one in one of the Marvel FB groups. It... left a lot to be desired.

Modern Miller:




Suppose would still be cool to have a Miller sketch card, no matter how hideous.

The value is largely in it being a Frank Miller sketch, and a rare hit from this premium product. I could not even see the sketch and know it’ll be worth money- at least several hundred.

Just how these things work. Similar to some of the 98 Sketchagraphs that left a lot to be desired.

I kinda expected it not to be a full on mini-work of art, which sketch artists specialize in. The marvel artist legends sketches rarely are.

We planned a trip to Paris in early October, is it at all reasonable to think I could find a box not insanely priced there?

It released a week or two before Fanatics formally announced its global Marvel/Disney trading card license. Part of the appeal to US buyers was the “limited” nature of the product due to its release in the EU. Made it a bit more fun for US collectors to chase.

Now it’s unclear if Fanatics plans to release a global version of Topps Marvel Chrome in 2025 when the global license kicks in. Maybe the same and/or similar set to the current EU set with different parallels?

Sapphire only delivers to UK address? So I can’t enter the drop? Am I doing something by wrong?
