Marvel Uncut Sheet Thread

[DynaEtch]

This is intended to be an all-things uncut sheet thread, not sure if anyone else collects these. Discussion about sheets, pics, and so forth.

Would like to keep it to just Marvel sheets. This thread can act as an archive/reference for these uncut sheets. Talking about the full-set sheets, not the 4-panel and 9-panel promo sheets which are more common. Uncut sheets are very interesting not only to collect, but they also convey helpful info. They can inform/explain error cards and in some cases reveal the degree of shortprinting for some cards in a set (can think of at least 3 sheets in Marvel that do this). So it’s helpful to have images of them.

I will attach a “Rarity rating” to each sheet, from 1 (pretty common) to 5(exceedingly hard to find), from longtime observations of sheets on the market. This is just a rating how hard it is to find, which is not necessarily the same thing as price/value. For example a 2024MM Grego base sheet I would give a rarity of 1, since it is not hard to find right now, although it is still quite pricey- maybe $1k or more.

To lead off,

1992 Comic Images Silver Surfer Prism Base Sheet



Rarity rating: 2

1992 Marvel Masterpieces Prototype Sheet

(Publically distributed from the '92 National)
Top 3 rows are the prototypes, bottom row is the Cap blue back promo. Some might be surprised that the print run of single prototype is equal to the print run of the cap promo (latter sells for a lot more).

Yea that’s the problem with uncut sheets- they basically take up half a room (!). I don’t have nearly enough wall space to hang them all up so they’re mostly just framed on the ground being stored. They are also more cumbersome to transact in than a small trading card since you can’t just put one in a bubble mailer….have to either ship it flat in a huge box or rolled in a long tube. But I’m a big fan of them. The 90s Fleer/Skybox ones more than the newest UD ones, but I collect any of them. I like how the whole set is summarized in one piece at a glance.

1995 Fleer Ultra X-Men Suspended Animation Sheet A


Rarity rating: 3

1995 Fleer Ultra X-Men Suspended Animation Sheet B


Rarity Rating: 3

1995 Fleer Ultra Spider-Man Clear Chrome Sheet


Rarity Rating: 2

One cool thing with sheets is the whole sheet takes on the material of the card. So those first two sheets are like a whole sheet of acetate, and the Clear Chrome is made out of…whatever that Sign & Glassworks ‘Clear Chrome’ material is, not sure what it is really.

2022 Marvel Masterpieces Dos Santos Base Sheet

2024 Marvel Masterpieces Grego Base Sheet


Rarity rating: 1

1991 Marvel Universe Series 2 Base Sheet A


Rarity rating: 4

1991 Marvel Universe Series 2 Base Sheet B


Rarity rating: 4

1991 Marvel Universe Series 2 Base Sheet C


Rarity rating: 4

1991 Marvel Universe Series 2 Base Sheet D

Rarity Rating: 4

1991 Marvel Universe Series 2 Base Sheet E


Rarity rating: 4

Note: the above set is spread over 5 sheets. As seen here, no card is short printed.
Sheet A is 90 diff cards, each of the next four sheets are (18 diff x 5 = 90 cards).
So total diff = 90+18x4 = 162 cards, the set total. We assume 5 sheet A’s were made for every
sheet B (or C,D, or E).

Totally agree about the A sheet. Being all different and the first 90 cards of the set, it really is the “meat” of the set and displays the best. (That’s why I made that pic bigger ). The rest of the sheets are somewhat fluff, between the battles, item cards, and checklists, plus repeated cards.

Onto another group, this is every 1993 Marvel Masterpieces sheet that exists, I went hard on 93MM being one of my fav sets. But the rarity values deserve some discussion, and I’ll get to that below.

Rarity rating: 3

Most of these 93’s came out of that uncut sheet find out of Michigan not too long ago, where someone came into a lot of sheets whose dad worked for Fleer back in the day. All of the above except the base w/foil and Dyna Etch sheet. That is why, for example, the base No Foil sheet is listed as Rarity 1…there have been many on the market over the last couple years, almost one actively on the market at any time. This is also why the 92MM base sheet above is only a 2..also came from that find. Not many of the 93MM promo sheets did hit the market though.

2008 Marvel Masterpieces Series 2 Base Sheet.

This is the only one I’ve seen to date. It was available from UD as a prize with entering those tedious codes from the code/points cards in packs, which I guess no one did. Except one person…a fellow poster on this board Thanks to him I can now display this:


Rarity rating: 5

With the purpose of this thread as an archive/reference, I want to branch out to any pics of Marvel uncut sheets that can be found online (not just mine). Feel free to post what you can find, not already seen above!

The below in this post are NOT mine. They are however some of my fav examples of uncut sheets because they reveal previously unknown shortprinted ratios of 90s Marvel inserts, even if slight.

1994 Fleer Ultra X-Men Team Triptych (Walmart) Sheet

Bishops and Professor X card are veryyyy slightly shortprinted at a 16/17 ratio! (can you see why based on the sheet?)


Rarity rating: 5

1994 Fleer Amazing Spider-Man Gold Web Sheet

Note only 1 Walmart Gold Web for every 5 Jumbo Gold Web- that’s the ratio of rarity of Walmarts.

Rarity rating: 5

1995 Marvel Masterpieces Canvas Sheet

The ones not duplicated in the 12-block at lower right are each shortprinted at a 4/5 ratio: #2 Beast, #3 Bishop, #4 Cable, #7 Gambit, #9 Human Torch, #12 Jubilee, #16 Psylocke, #17 Punisher, #19 Surfer, #22 War Machine


Rarity rating: 5

That 95MM canvas sheet was up on ebay very briefly years back, wish I would have bought it, but oh well. One reason for this thread: if I never saved the image from that ebay listing, this canvas sheet image would be nonexistent, it would not be online to find. The sheet itself is surely buried in someone’s black hole collection. It’s nice to have even images of rare uncut sheets, they can reveal info about sets like in this case.

[Xiarmadillo]

Very interesting how they format some of those sheets LOL...(looking at the 94 Ultra X-men Walmart Team Triptych....going dizzy counting and also why some upside down)

I know right honest question, why in the world do they flip rows upside down like that. Never did get that.

The trick to counting that is take the whole middle section out: there are 6 large blocks of 12, one for each card. So that’s all even. What is remaining is the string of cards going around the border like this



Inside the pink box, if you start at the upper left, wind your way around the pink snake, it is the 6-card set in order, one after the next. But once you get to the lower left at the end, it stops at Iceman, which is #4. It’s missing the last 2 in that final 6-card set…a #5 Professor X and #6 Bishop. Those are the 2 very slight shortprints.

There are definitely some of the 1980's Comic Images Marvel uncut sheets out there. The card fronts on these (usually 45 card) sets, which were basically the only Marvel card sets in the 80's, hold rehashed, unevenly recolored comic art, but the B&W puzzle backs can be quite striking, seen as one piece. Some, including this uncut sheet of the Mike Zeck set, if I'm not mistaken, actually feature new illustrations drawn especially for card set.




There are same-era late 80's CI sheets for Ghost Rider, John Byrne, Captain America, Excalibur, and McFarlane II shown in this thread.

(Not sure if you want to migrate those pictures over here or not, Dyna).

[DynaEtch]

Where art meets uncut sheets! That’s a great one, worthy of being framed with the Punisher back showing imo.

That BO link should suffice. CI marvel sheets seem to have been more publicly distributed than Fleer/Skybox ones (many of which werent at all and had to come from the company via employees, bankruptcy etc), hence you see the CI somewhat more often. I would blanket assign a rarity level of 1-3 for the Comic Images sheets, with the majority in the 1-2 range. Although there may be a certain few that are hard to find (Im not an expert in them as much).

Heres a few more sheets (not mine)

1990 Marvel Universe Hologram sheet (Magneto)

...because uncut sheets are my love language and I have a love hate relationship with seeing ones I don't have ;_;

[exotechktx]

My grail:

[exotechktx]

An absolutely wild one: 1995 Marvel Metal uncut sheet on CANVAS stock - my suspicion is that they were exploring new technology and decided to try the canvas stock here. Still can't believe I got it.
