That would be S4 - Metalhead. I know I have that but as I've said earlier, I don't know where I put them. Maybe when I find the time to search for it again in my unorganised store room, I'll pass you the missing card now that Mr Postman have just delivered the set! rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif Hahahaha... I'll snap some photos later & post it.

This is not a very nice set but it brings back memories. Characters from X-Men 2099... I have the 1st issue. The artwork by Ron Lim was not exceptionally great. He's not included in my Top 50 artist wink.gif . I bought Silver Surfer Vol.3 becos I liked Silver Surfer. Wonder what happens to him now cos I don't see him drawing comics anymore.

Ah yes, the Marvel 2099 universe. I dun think this was a success back then. I collected comics and trading cards from 1990 to 2000. Then I hibernate a little before the TF comics rejuvenated me. But now I only selectively pick up titles and dun mind buying tradepaperbacks.

Ron Lim...yeap he drew silver surfer back then like no one else. Heck I still have his Marvel Universe 4 DIAMOND COMICS Promo purple hologram card.

Bro, the sh*tty part was that this special card subset form a picture which is already widely promoted. Only comes with foil etched and some cards only have little foil on them. U got to complete this picture or else having one two card which can throw aside lo.

Hmm...some of those cards I used to have until I sold off someone very close to me....so close. hmm.gif icon_idea.gif

U like most collectors then must be a regular at Mind Shop or maybe Comics Corner. Maybe we've bumped into each other then, who knows. Nowadays I'd buy comics from Earth638 & I'd visit them most probably once every 2 maybe 3 months biggrin.gif

Yup, started when MindSHop was at Uptown, when traffic was two ways. Also Final Frontier at Damansara Jaya (beside Public Bank) where I bought most cards and toys from.

Other would be Mindshop Subang, then DCM Enterprise (I remember da boss charges a fee for ppl to view his "awesome" collections in his room) and Comics Corner Subang.

Used to buy trading cards from that comic shop in Atria and another one at Taman Tun (same row as Domino) but they closed down long time.

Hah..maybe I sold trading cards to you before.

I used to visit Earth 638 at Atria but didnt go to their new place at Kelana Mall yet.

U got another set of the Marvel Masterpiece 2 specials?

No I don't have another set of Marvel Masterpiece 2 specials. I have an incomplete set missing 3 cards. That's why I bought the a new set from ebay.

Yes I remember The Final Frontier (Davin Arul) & Mike of DCM Enterprise. Mike operates Comix Heaven in Selayang nowadays. Comics Corner both in Yow Chuan Plaza & Subang Jaya (Alex). I remember the shop in Taman Tun but can't recall the shops name.

I'm pretty sure we've bumped into each other before or maybe like you've said, I did bought some cards from you or vise-versa biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

Time to poison some more specials. Nothing extraordinary but hope its good enough.

Arthur "Art" Thibert's art! LOL

That's right. The sets presents Art Thibert during his hey days. But alas, he too doesn't survive the test of time. He's no longer among the artist rendering any character for Marvel or DC or anywhere else for that matter. But my holograms re ok. My holos for Marvel Universe Cards Series I & II are having some black dots making the cards.. Oooo I don't know, looks bad? Butits a nice set never the less.

This set was done by the husband & wife team Boris Valejo & Julie Bell but the set is a bit yellowish. Don't know what came over it.

I don't quite like Julie Bell's art. She drew a girlish guy. If u guys watch closely, the face is quite ok but the pose is not so manly. But she's Boris Valejo's wife! Hahahaha... Maybe they are a combo; if someone wants them, its either engage them both or no go.

Ouch indeed. Its very sad to know if you kept the cards/holograms/chromium in an air tight places or places where they don't see much light, then one fine day you decided to look at them & imagine the horror when you found out that some of the cards suffers the fate that your friend were saying.

Its good to finally know how to keep your holos in a better condition. Whereas it may be a bit too late for some.

I must be the oil thingy on those special cards esp chromium that make the cards gone bad. My Image creators set specials all goners. Only those traditional specialcards produced by Comic Images and Skybox are spared.

I used to have the whole complete X-Men 2 color hologram set but sold off the set to fund the hobby. Now left with 2 magnetos. Heck, i even fed up to complete the Gold Foil 30th anniversary specialsubset..tongue.gif

BTW the 3D holograms on my X-men Fatal Attractions comics are still looking good.

Samo Samo here with me. I on the other hand managed to complete the Gold Foil subset. Sold some holos but still kept some.

I'm not sure what is the condition of my Fatal Attractions 3D Holos on all X-comics. Hope they are ok.

BTW, just bought this set from ebay this morning.

Yeah.. Bought the set for nostalgic sake & I think I got it quite cheap @ RM68.00 (about RM14 per piece). I sold individual etched card then at about RM30 per piece biggrin.gif

Now just waiting for the set to arrive at my house.

And yes kids nowadays are into PCs & gadgets (funny how it sounds sometime when we mentioned the the phrase "kids nowadays" cos we used to be kids too). Well for me, I was too busy looking at the awesome artwork that I just couldn't careless about the storyline!!
