  1. Love that you are going down this road. This collection is looking fantastic. I would check out Marvel Masterpieces 2007 /2008 because many big name artist like Turner were featured in the set. I would also check out COMC to see if you can snag any deals along the way. :)

    I will keep an eye out for you. A surfer just came out with turner art too I believe in 2019. 

    I got this one but I'm sure another one will be posted. This one was released in a peruvian set.

    Just got these five cards back from CGC they are amazing. I noticed that the wolverine card has a thinker holder and it's the only card that is in a second plastic sleeve. Would anyone know why CGC would put it inside a second sleeve?

    The card is slightly bigger than the standard holder and so they place it in the holder with the sleeve. I have a few like that too.

    I'm trying to decide if I need cards that I don't really enjoy the art of? There some X-23 cards I love and already thinking I may never get. Lucky 8 for a start

    For the ones you are not in love with--I would make a list of importance first. The worst situation you can be in it's not having cash or something you're in love with. After you are done picking up your favorites, pick up the cards that you were only half interested in.

    Hi all.

    Im a bit of an X-23 collector of comics and cards. I don’t have anywhere near what I want but there are some cards like Marvel Masterpieces X-23 that I have no interest in. I just don’t like the artwork of her on that set. I’m actually a sane adult unlike some of you ha ha 

    Id love to have more comics and cards of Laura but her cards can be hard to come across. My next squeeze is gonna be Psyclocke as she’s cool and I’m British.
     

    Retro!!! I'm so glad you are here! Yeah there are definitely some silver surfers in my collection that I'm not a huge fan of the art. Plus it's so difficult to be a character collector now than it was before. But I've been doing this for more than 10 years now and I have to say persistence and patience is the only way to get some of these very unique pieces.

    Great thread!

    I definitely have more Spidey's (yes - all time fav) across various collections I think more than any other character. This thread comes at an interesting time since I just recently pulled out a 25-30 year large container of thousands (more than 10 easily) and began browsing through them. Lot's of Spider-man cards so far that I don't even remember or can even tell what set they are from. I did set aside some of the Spidey Marvel Masterpieces that I think would grade decent since that is the thing now. I'll get some pics up at some point here.

    I did see I have quite a few Silver Surfer Marvel Masterpieces as well...

    You tease. lol I would love to see anything you find in that large container my friend. So excited that you're getting into the marvel card scene with us. I can't wait to learn more about your collection.

    I was very fortunate during the 2020 Upper Deck Xmen metal run to obtain a complete rainbow of this iconic image on Sub-Mariners high series card . One of my fav rainbows I put together for sure . In todays market doing something like is becoming literally impossible due to competition , prices etc. it makes it even more special to me.

    That first appearance image is just so iconic and to have it as a full rainbow – – truly spectacular. Congratulations again on this!

    I also collect Doctor Strange.  Over 30 years now.  I have been fortunate to put a pretty good collection together.  All trading cards reside in my card chest.  Historically one of my favorite things to collect.

    Hi All,

     

    I'm Steve, I am a Punisher Card collector (I love collecting Marvel Cards in general). I also collect The Joker in DC.  I've never submitted a card for grading and want to submit my 2016 MM Kaleidoscope Punisher as my first card. Any ideas of what I should use as the declared value? 

    Hi my friend, I'm so glad to see you here. I love your collection and seeing your updates in MCCW. 

    If it is the /25 version of the card and then I would maybe just put down between 500 and 1000. I know the prices can be higher or lower depending on the buyer. I also realize how that card is never out and about. 

    This is what it says on our site. 

    "Submitters to CGC are required to list a declared value for each collectible in their submission. By submitting a collectible and listing a declared value, the submitter agrees that the declared value represents the current fair market value (FMV) of the submitted collectible." 

    https://www.cgccomics.com/submit/declared-value-policy/

    It's been a while since we've got a chance to catch up. I would love to see more of your collection if you're okay with posting pictures here on the forum. 

  10. Hi everyone, 

    This thread will be for anyone who collects marvel cards by way of one specific character across all marvel sets. 

    I myself have been doing this for over 15 years now and continue to fill in the missing spots of my silver surfer card collection. I've collected all the base, versus, appearances, team ups, most parallels, foreign, stickers, and TCG. 

    I'm happy to share any and all of my resources and how I've been able to find all these cards over the years. I mainly met this thread to see if any other collectors out there are as crazy as me out there. lol

    Please let me know what characters you collect from marvel cards and if you have any questions. I'll be sure to post some pictures soon.
