DC Cosmic Cards ~ Opening Factory Sealed UNOPENED Box Trading Cards All 36 Packs

Today on the Brad the DC Universe Geek we will be opening an entire unopened box of DC Comics Cosmic Cards from 1991. All 36 packs! I'm aware this video is loooong so it won't appeal to everybody other than a select few. I promise the next one will be shorter and more formulaic. This was my first attempt at a video of this type. I'll do better next time.
Notable missing characters are: Batman, Robin, Batgirl, EVERY exclusive Batman supervillain, Zatanna, Plastic Man, Green Arrow, The Metal Men, Etrigan, and Dr Fate to name a handful.

I'm aware this video is loooong so it won't appeal to everybody other than a select few. I promise the next one will be shorter and more formulaic. This was my first attempt at a video of this type. I'll do better next time because I know how I want to do them.

Brad The DC Universe Geek i had the whole set except for holograms still have them at my parents house all in a binder. Inside the same binder was a complete set of marvel series 2 cards minus holograms. Oh and Yuga Kahn was Darksieds father

[@josersreviews137]

LOVED this set. Had the whole set plus all the holograms. Was at my parents house for years, but it's probably in storage now. I'd love to get another set just for the hell of it...maybe I'll luck out at the next con i go to and see either boxes or sets for sale. Long vids are fine w/ me, you always provide entertainment :)

[@emilguillen4330]

So no batman in this one 😂

[@zaminator9016]

Do another video, very good EVERYTHING! The price is going crazy on 1991 DC Cosmic cards. Open another one.!!!!

[@ILoooooveCamels]

The Kilowog drawing always makes me laugh. He looks like his mood is chemically enhanced.

I just found your channel and I've been going through episodes when I suddenly came across this one. I can't tell you how many memories this brought back. When I was a kid I was a fiend for these cards. I would take what money I had, run to the corner stuff and get a pack or two. Not only is the art amazing on some of these cards, but these were also a great source of information. I had read maybe and issue or two of Who's Who, but this was like my encyclopedia of the DCU when I was a kid. I remember the joy of opening a pack and the feeling of utter despair when it was mostly doubles. Watching you rip open the pack, I can totally remember what that plastic felt like and how satisfying it was to open. This video was incredible. I promptly hit "Subscribe" when it was said and done. Thank you for reminding me of a really fun time in my life.

Batman was licenced to Topps at the time, there are sets for Batman and Batman Returns. Also, the top four packs of each box had the holograms.

[@randomninja]

That's so funny, I've had a full set of these cards since I was a kid, and only just after taking them out of storage a year ago did I realize there was no Batman. Crazy!

[@stevenmarionalmagro1103]

The hunt for that Deadshot card was tense! Glad that you got the complete set. I'd love to be the beneficiary of the doubles. Tee-hee! ✌

[@SuperheroReview]

if you look at all of the Superman cards, they all have the statue of liberty in the back ground. looks like you can place them side-by-side to create a landscape image.

[@BradTheDCUniverseGeek]

That's true. I mentioned that in the original cut of the video because I noticed something like that as a kid, but ended up omitting it for time sake.

[@Denis-fp7ku]

The holograms in this card series had very vibrant color. They are much better than the X-Men hologram cards that came out around the same time. You have to get the Lobo hologram. It's awesome.

[@DavesEmpire1981]

Wicked nostalgic for me. I just unearthed my collection of these and was going to film a video looking at them. I also never noticed that there's no Batman

[@ReboottoysEllis]

One of the best card opening. Videos I’ve ever seen please do more. Old-school trading cars cards. I love trading cards whether it be sports Nascar turtles cartoons. Comic books whatever.

[@BradTheDCUniverseGeek]

So glad you enjoyed the opening! I’m still new and rough around the edges with this kind of video with so many cards to cover that I’m trying to find a balance between video length, entertainment, and clarity of each card being in the screen long enough. I had a box of 89 Batman cards lined up to go but the shipping was just through the roof. They wanted more for the shipping than the cards. Lol. I plan on doing more though. Sealed boxes is such a neat adventure.

[@haulinggoodtime]

first 3 packs and already holograms. these are nice set. the following set to this has a some good rookie cards. rookie for the sandman and death i believe

[@sgf129]

I remember collecting baseball cards in the 80s and paying a total of .25$ per pack......those were the days. I had a unopened box of 89 batman cards back in the day, so you should try and get a box and open them, I loved those cards.

[@BradTheDCUniverseGeek]

I’m currently working on it but it’s hard to find a box that isn’t an insane amount to have shipped. I’d love to open a case of 89 Batman Cards.

[@rhmidwestcomics]

Just found your channel. Great box break video. Hopefully more to come.

[@SiDCrAzY]

Great vid. I love these long type of videos.

[@BradTheDCUniverseGeek]

Awesome! I don't do them very often because attention spans aren't usually long enough. My analytics show people usually get bored and click away looong before the 20 minute mark. It's good to know that you enjoy the longer ones.

[@b_a_entertainment145]

So freaking sick man.

[@BradTheDCUniverseGeek]

Thanks!

[@raulzavala9061]

I guess the cards sold well even with no Batman characters, but something like that today would have the Internets ablaze.

[@Kinosis79]

Amazing these survived all this time, unsealed! I just bought 10 unopened packs.

[@rayslavetochrist7311]

Brother I liked this video,I just started collecting again,and Love DC Comics the best. I enjoyed this very much and will be looking for these on eBay ty for sharing.

[@daviddiola2732]

Did you ever find them?

[@onionsavoya7543]

Pantha got her head punched off by Superboy Prime.

[@GDXVX]

Brad, Deadshot 🎯 counts as a Batman enemy since he is part of the rogues gallery 😉

[@BradTheDCUniverseGeek]

I agree but I suspect DC wasn’t treating him as such during the 90’s. I couldn’t figure out any other reason they would include him and non of the others. I’m glad they did. I almost didn’t get him to complete the set.

[@GDXVX]

That is very true, DC was really weird during the 90's with their characters and licenses 😧. On a side note, I'm glad you completed the set... Was really happy for you 😊

[@gb7995]

The emotional highs and lows in this video were extreme! What about its sequel, DC Cosmic Teams?

[@BradTheDCUniverseGeek]

That’s one I want to do too. I’d like to open about 5 or 6 other boxes in the future. A few Batman, Superman, and general DC character series boxes.

[@user-em4iv8ud7v]

Gracias,me encantan estás cards clásicas. 👏👏🤩👍❤️

[@tomgreen708]

I'm guessing that the batman card rights were still elsewhere, this was only a year after batman returns and I definitely remember trading cards for that

[@BradTheDCUniverseGeek]

My thoughts exactly. Batman was a hot property in 91 due to his re-surge in interest from the 89 Burton Film and DC knew they could licence a slew of products based on the 92 Batman Returns movie so they likely held held back Batman and most related characters due to that. Meanwhile Superman hadn't seen his re-surge yet due to his death and resurrection so he was open game. To me it just seems incomplete to not include Batman. Not only that but I mention in the video description a bunch of other important characters that were omitted too. I'd love to see a new set of Rebirth based trading cards.

[@tomgreen708]

Brad The DC Universe Geek a new set would be great. Seems unthinkable nowadays that batman would be left out of anything, I assume they were banking on his popularity creating more interest in the dc universe as a whole. Great to see these again though, takes me back!

[@franciscoc2673]

Awesome review! Just got mine yesterday. You may have answered this but why no Batman, Robin, Joker cards?

[@raulzavala9061]

Batman and all his related characters were licensed to TOPPS trading cards for the release of Batman Returns.

[@greyperrin5929]

Im 14 and I just feel like I was born in the wrong generation. All the comics,toys and figures from DC in 70s-90s look so cool

[@beastvin]

Loved this video! Glad you got deadshot

[@SuperheroReview]

if you want to get rid of your duplicate Superman hologram card... I know of a fellow Superman fan that would love to have it :D

[@BradTheDCUniverseGeek]

I'm thinking of throwing together a giveaway box in the coming months and that may go in there 😉

[@onionsavoya7543]

Lobo hologram was fresh.

[@mpawq1238]

That’s looks really cool

[@MannySimoneCards]

Man I wish there was a Batman in here

[@erwinbreyson]

Where can i buy?

[@UnlimitedProduction1]

No Batman? That would never ever ever come close to happening these days. The set would be like a quarter Batman maybe half of Batman and Batman related cards

[@raulzavala9061]

Batman and all his related characters were licensed to TOPPS trading cards for the release of Batman Returns.

[@ciaranmcnulty8675]

Brad, what figure is that you have as your channel's profile pic?

[@BradTheDCUniverseGeek]

It’s a picture of the DC Essentials Superman Figure that is supposed to be coming out in September. Fingers crossed it does.

[@zacharyjochumsen9677]

Brad dod you ever colect skyboxes DC cards

[@artofsiujerkjai9830]

No black canary or green arrow? That's upsetting

[@natefisher4364]

Did you collect the DC Villains Cards

[@BradTheDCUniverseGeek]

No I didn’t even know there was a set of exclusive villains. There is?

[@natefisher4364]

Wait I see what I said wrong there. There was a set of Cards that came out recently leaning towards DC's greatest Villains

[@BradTheDCUniverseGeek]

Xtremegamerdude 435 I’d like to get those too. I’ll look into it. 👍

[@michaelfriend3110]

Thoughts on 1000?

[@BradTheDCUniverseGeek]

Even though I have it as of noon today would you believe that I still haven’t read it. I waiting till the kids go to bed so it’s nice and quiet.

[@les3316]

Now what after their opened 😆 like sex gotta clean it all up

[@ShadyJames]

How many cards in this set?
