Marvel Platinum box opening and huge mailbag!

[@controlstick]

In all fairness I recorded this before I watched the latest episode of X-Men 97... 😱

That show.....man it's hitting every button on my "AAAAAaaaahhh" list. Slight upgrades to design, animated traditionally but cleaner. MAGS in his "suns out, guns out" uni, Cyclops is finally AWESOME....and the writing is the perfect blend of nostalgic remembrance and current life for us to pick through. 10/10. It's so....GREAT!!!

Awesome collection. Thank you for sharing

[@controlstick]

Thank you for watching! And thanks. I'm stoked!

[@bobtrottier8178]

MAGNETO. Another really good box! Looked all day the other day, NOTHING to be had. I never even SAW a box or blaster in waking life!!

[@controlstick]

I'm sorry for the luck. They are tricky to find in the wild. Luck is a big factor.

[@bobtrottier8178]

@@controlstick I'm not so sure... literally EVERY OTHER CARD SET has been heavily represented at Walmart and target here...I think these were all sniped.

[@controlstick]

I'm afraid they didn't make as many blasters as they have in the past. And loaded them up so they got interest. I found some at all the stores around me that had cards when they first came out, but then the supply dried up from their distributor. On a side note, it also looks like walmart is getting out of the card game so retail boxes will be more difficult to source for many.

Man you sure have good luck on breaks. Great characters

[@controlstick]

Thank you! I've had some bad luck in breaks too, lol!

[@AP_0001]

Awesome Wolverines!!

[@controlstick]

Yes!! Both of his cards in this set are great!

2017 Fleer Ultra Spider-Man still one of my personal favourite marvel products in the last 10 years. Got some pretty big hits too. I regret not buying more of those boxes (even though personally I have opened about 8 boxes of it back in 2017).

[@controlstick]

I wish I was collecting at the time. I didn't even know they made marvel cards anymore! They fell off my radar in 96 until I saw a blaster box of beginnings in November!

@@controlstick 2017 I started slowly getting back into it but last 5 years or so I got back into it in full force haha

[@controlstick]

Very nice! I'm jealous of the collection you must have!

[@thewsquaredguys6608]

@@controlstick it's definitely a hobby I enjoy, I can say that much at least haha. The stuff in the collection is an awesome bonus.

[@Gambitcollect]

Hard one but gambit is the goat but magneto probably the best villain in marvel for me !

[@controlstick]

I'll take it! I did record this before I watched the latest episode... 😬

[@team_timmy]

you mentioned to hit you up if we need any base cards. where can I do that? and are you looking to sell them, gift them, do trades? I have tons of extra base set cards too but want to complete the set

[@snoochieboochienoochies3394]

I have no idea what this is. Looks sick though, is it like mtg? Or are they just cool art cards?

[@controlstick]

It is not a trading card Game like magic or Pokémon. They are trading cards like baseball cards but with Marvel characters. Original art and art from the comics. They are sick!

[@mehtheorc]

I've never even heard of these before. Are they old or still making them?

[@controlstick]

The platinum cards? They just came out in March!

[@mehtheorc]

@@controlstick cool, thanks for the info!

Any time!!

I may have some blasters to open at some point but the prices of hobby boxes jumped up 😬
