1994 X-MEN Fleer Ultra Box Break - Nostalgia Overload!

[@highwizdom1399]

Opening the packs & placing then near a humidifier for a few minutes works. Moisture works the best for bricking

[@beastmerc84]

I've been collecting these cards since 94. Beautiful cards

[@SanchoWest]

Dude, seeing these cards brings me back. So clean. Now I want a box lolol.

[@nexuscards]

Great set, I'm a bigger fan of the 1995 set but I got a good deal on this box. Just be careful if you get one because it'll most likely be bricked if it wasn't stored properly.

[@BoxBoxBoxGaming]

I've been putting packs in the freezer in a ziplock bag for 30+ minutes before opening recently and that seems to help

[@jppakman233]

this brings me back. I have a complete set of all the 94' regulars, about 80% of the foils. I have always wondered what it is worth, most in near mint to mint condition, sleeved in a binder and been in a box in for the last 30 years. The 94' set had some of the best art of all the other sets, with a mix of retro and high detail art. I have been debating whether to sell or keep, but it is really hard to find accurate pricing. I still remember the frustration I felt, having opened hundreds of packs, having to buy a common White Queen card from my local comic shop. If interested, I am pretty sure I have duplicates of most of the cars, but am scared to see if they are bricked together, since I kept my duplicates in the same sleeve.

[@beastmerc84]

When I bought some boxes off of eBay a few years back to try and get some chase cards, I had the same problem with them being bricked.

[@reproducable]

perhaps instead of the slam method you could try something heat based. I was thinking a heat gun , but that does introduce the possibility of burning the cards. another thought was to put the whole pack in in a sealed bag and literally sous-vide them in a warm water bath. I have no idea what temperature stuff should be but just maybe it might help save some of these vintage card packs.

[@nexuscards]

Heat is rough because the foiling on a lot of the cards. Either way there will be residue on the backs so they’re gonna be damaged no matter what which is rough.

[@reproducable]

perhaps a very gentle heat?@@nexuscards

Rogue had more cake back in the 90s than big mama ever ate in her entire arc of one piece.😅

[@UltraJack299]

Keep up the great work. I wish it could have gone a million views now

[@hartwarg3051]

I bought a couple packs off eBay to test if they were bricked up, and sadly they were. I looked at a collection of base cards on Amazon, and I realized there was only about 12 I liked. Seems like these are not as cool as I remembered them as a kid. I think I’ll stick with modern cards like Marvel Platnum, Flair and Midnight Sons.

[@VieTRaVeR]

Was funny to watch, getting into collecting marvel cards...

[@nexuscards]

Hell yeah they’re really fun cards

[@sandpiles]

cannot wait to see more and this channel grow!!

[@nexuscards]

Thanks, exciting launching a new channel!

[@ninjadamian1997]

i have absolutley no idiea what im about to even talk about but i would experiment with some of the packs in trying to recover as much as one could... maybe a little alocohol or something alcohol based like perfume could help make the sticky parts go loose without riping texture off. just saying. Very satisfying video :D

[@nexuscards]

I saw a video after posting this one that shows a way of reintroducing moister into the packs to reduce bricking. Haven’t tried it myself but it seems to work.

[@MrRansom237]

Can’t believe I stumbled onto these videos I’ve been thinking the last few years to re-collect my 92-96 collections. I definitely had the entire 92 and 96 set, 99% complete at the least. I told my mom she could donate them to a thrift store when I was in college🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ can’t tell you how many times my dad took me to Toys R’ Us and Kaybee toys to get packs. Subscribed!! Any recommendations on how/where to start the rebuild?

[@nexuscards]

You can buy full sets for around $50-$70 on eBay for the 1992-94. The 96 set is extremely expensive because of the low print run. But yeah luckily the other sets are pretty cheap on eBay take a look and welcome back to the hobby!

[@Slab_Studios]

You have 1990 marvels unboxing?

The cat flinch was the best

[@nexuscards]

He’s such a scaredy cat lol

[@Wicked_Sushi]

My mint condition collection (save for one Fatal Attraction with a tiny bit of damage in the corner) is still sitting nicely up on a shelf. Funny story: My brother was desperate for the Storm team card. I had a spare. So, I took advantage of his desperation and traded 100 of his spares (and one or two I didn't have) for his much-desired Storm card. Next week, he bought a pack and hey presto - got the Storm card. An argument ensued as he tried to reverse the trade. 🤣

[@nexuscards]

That’s brutal!

[@toritovalenzuela]

Would it help if the cards were put in a really warm environment?

[@nexuscards]

The problem is the pressure put on these cards from having things stacked on top of the boxes and gloss coating makes them really stick. Especially on this set

[@SmoothStyle16]

Hey, I found some of my old marvel trading cards that are in good condition still. Is there a particular card you are looking for?

[@nexuscards]

There’s a bunch of cards I’m looking for as long as they’re in good condition. What sets are your cards from?

[@EspireMike]

It's hard to tell in the video, what is the damage that happens when they are bricked? Parts of the printed card get torn off when you separate them? On the video they look great ! 😅

[@nexuscards]

Little bits are stuck together so there are spots of white all over the cards where the printing is pulled off on both sides. Some of them turned out okay but when you hear that crinkling sound it's the surface coming off on other cards. Thanks for watching man!

[@THEMAGNOMITE]

That Cyclops would still be the jewel of my collection, sucks that it got damaged 😢

[@nexuscards]

@@THEMAGNOMITE He's SO BUFF!

[@TheMegatron673]

Do they still have that unique smell on the cards? 😁

[@nexuscards]

They totally do!

[@TheMegatron673]

@@nexuscards That's the smell I remember back in the 90s. One day when I'm able to get a box I look forward to sniffing them. 😁

[@defectiveclone8450]

I still have all my 1994 xmen cards. Collected the entire full set and they are all in mint condition. :) dont think they are worth anything going by what they sell for on ebay.. I tossed away my 1994 (super valuable) Magic the gathering cards but kept these Xmen ones haha ..13 year old me was an idiot

[@nexuscards]

That’s super rough man. Ouch

[@defectiveclone8450]

@@nexuscards yep. But i'm 43 with zero health issues and a middle class easy life in Sydney Australia. so the ending isnt all bad. :)

[@jppakman233]

I know how you feel. I stopped playing magic in 98', so i gave my collection to my friend's little brother. Most had heavy wear due to use, but wish I had kept them.

[@andrewzevallos3845]

Feel your pain. How much was the box?

[@nexuscards]

I got it for around $150
