I have an old Cyberfrog page I'm afraid of getting framed because of your Michael's experience. P.S. I paid less for that page than people are paying for some of these cards. Insane...

I sold my marvel universe base sets of 1-3 last week for $400. I got them free as a throw in when I bought a complete series 3 with holos for $40 last October. I turned that $400 into a CGC X-men 2 1963. Amazing

Its insane how the quest of getting and grading for perfect 10 cards can inflate the prices of the card market so fast. Its like a modern day gold rush.

[@brianng8350]

I guess there is a market, but those prices seem inflated like giant bubble. What is the chance of finding someone who wants to pay a few hundred or thousand for a single card or even a set even if they are graded. Only another speculator would be foolish enough...

That's awesome. Comic cards also got me into comic collecting. Thanks for sharing.

The turn around time is what??? 7 month's and now with everyone flooding PSA with Marvel card subs longer and the bottom falls out 3 month's before you ever see your cards .

Oh kickass! You got the Marvel Materpiece 92' tin as well! Fantastic bro!!!! I'm glad this AMAZING era is getting explored again!

[@cadewilliams9156]

been getting into sports cards a bit. glad to see it stretch to superheroes now

[@Jmillz181]

I would be selling if I still had em. More and more people are going to grade them now and then the number of gem mint tens will rise. 1996 marvel masterpieces will always be rare graded or not. They are a safer bet but very pricey now with recent uptick. Rogue double impact regularly selling for 300+. Psylocke base card over 150!

[@jeremylaws6196]

Very cool. Great info. I buy individual cards and display them on the bookshelf with the corresponding character. Then use them as bookmarks when I read the book. Thanks Gem.

[@pdirestajr]

One thing to be careful of with buying some sealed boxes of cards that have been sitting for decades- if you open them there is a chance the cards can all be stuck together, and will be ruined if you try to separate! Especially with the super high gloss Marvel Masterpieces. I recently bought a sealed box of ‘92 Marvel Masterpieces to open... once I did about 90% were ruined by sticking. The dealer refunded my money and said that it is common for old cards. Good luck!

[@mykllaneta27]

Wow this video brought me back when I was collecting impel marvel cards!! Thanks gemmint!

[@HeadiCannabass]

Great info! I love trading cards too. The 90's animated series for marvel got me into the trading cards which lead me to art book comics and comics.

Ok, so... what is this?! Trading card video and some history of cards, awesome! I’ve been waiting for a vid on the trading cards forever.

Keep it up 🔥🔥🔥

[@MrMark-hm9lk]

They're awesome but the market is over inflated. Back in the 90s there were literally millions of em. With the price inflated guys will be digging theirs out and adding em to Ebay causing another crash.

[@thehowardjones]

Awesome video once again, I collected soccer cards back in '94, they might still be in my mother's garage lol. The hologram ones were always sweet

[@bobmatteis4130]

To tell you the real truth everybody used to make fun of me for buying comic books that’s because nobody has a clue there are so many girls into comic books they don’t just go to the Conn to dress as Harley Quinn or Wonder Woman. If you want to retire early everybody should buy comic books. I am living proof of that.🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@Aku-kr7uk]

Hey gem there's a mark bagley Marvel trading card set coming out later this year!

[@hatty279]

the 1992 Marvel Masterpieces cards are going crazy, but what the Pokémon collectors need to realize is that this set was very high gloss, and 29 year old cards in packs and boxes usually stick. I opened 2 or 3 boxes 4-5 years ago and most stuck. not likely to get a 10 grading. even in climate control, high gloss over time will stick together.

[@josephvake9304]

Dope content. Got 20 binders stacked with marvel cards.

[@ericliu8488]

crazy how much these have gone up! As someone who enjoys the nostalgic factor of them I'm glad after watching your old video of framing 92 Masterpieces to have picked up a set last year. It was only around 30 dollars at the time.

[@allgoldproductions]

I think the folks that are selling the cards right now are going to make out like bandits. When all these cards that are getting graded right now hit and flood the market the demand and price is going to drop big time. Doesn't it cost something like $50 to roll the dice and get something graded too? I have all these cards in a big binder too, I almost gave them to my nephews back in the day. Decided not to just because of the sentimental factor and knew they'd be destroyed and probably thrown out in a month.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

Yup

[@norsegod2812]

Sports pokemon and now marvel I love it trading cards were my first collection getting 92 fleer baseball at gas america with my old man then I found 91 marvel universe and the old marvel sets by impel which became fleet I believe and now fleer is owned by upper deck who make marvel cards now and they're all awesome

Gem, be careful with those things! Not gonna get a 10 of you're tossing them around 😆. You planning on grading any? Kind of sad I never picked these up before they spiked. They are my childhood, haha. My brother and I would play "war" with the stats on the backs of the cards. These cards definitely were my introduction to a ton of different characters. The artwork from these things is etched in my mind, I swear. I had that video in my recommended too, and I've watched a bunch of videos about this since. Glad to see this one from you. You could always make those tins the next giveaway 😄.

[@StevieEvil666]

1990 Marvel is pretty big right now. I just dug out all of mine this week.

[@MagicTheKrakening]

newer upper deck marvel cards are worth way more due to limited print runs.

[@sabresportscards9541]

Awesome stuff! A couple more things to think about *PSA Gem Mints 10s are worth ALOT more than a BGS 9.5 Gem mint. Most people refer to PSA as the benchmark. In modern sports cards area PSA is worth more per grade as well. A PSA 9 is going to end higher than a BGS 9 in most cases. I'm not sure if this will translate to Marvel cards *The surface of the cards is a big factor as well. The issue with a lot of the holograms are factory scratches or marks because of how sensitive the surfaces are. Another thing to look for are print dots or print lines directly from the manufacture. Discoloration of the board stock as well can happen with these cards. * Right now a lot of people are banking on PSA 10 being super low population counts( how many gem mint 10s there are in the world). With this surge a lot more people will submit cards to grade which will inevitably bump up the pop count higher. Just something to think about as the pop counts should increase over time if popularity keeps booming. Love your channel man glad to see cards in general are becoming more popular.

[@paullmight42]

man i used to have so many of these...lost them as a troubled youth lol....i almost dont even want to watch this haha...but ofc i will..i had masterpiece books and everything

I had the Marvel Universe Series 3 as a kid. I just bought an unopened box last year. Got the whole set and 3 outta 5 of the holograms. Most marvel characters I know because of those cards. I love the power rankings on the back too. I wanna put em together and frame them because the border of the cards makes a big universe like picture when you put em together

[@markpatrickvillareal2328]

I have a marvel masterpiece trading card set I don't know which one or year but I have the whole set. I have it in the closet.

[@LegendOfTheBat]

Never had these as a kid, but I can imagine that they're great for learning how to draw different character types.

[@AlphaProto]

As a kid in 1990s with no internet. Aside from the comics the cards were the fastest way to learn about a character's stats, and their history. A lot of the cartoons were not running yet, or just started. So they were good for introducing kids to characters they had not seen yet. That's how I learned about Deadpool.

[@Neo_Sauron]

Dude awesome video. Brings back a lot of memories... especially the chase/hologram cards For me it was Marvel Universe series 2 (1991) that got me into & hooked on Marvel trading cards. I remember going to the flea market with my Mom as a young teen (she used to sell dogs there) and I would just spend hours at the comic booth and just buying packs of series 2 and those holograms...I believe those were the very first holograms (in card form) I had seen as a kid and so I was blown away by them. Hulk and Dr. Doom were my favorites... always *loved* pulling one of those

[@cappettacardscomics7901]

I just got back into this hobby, and I had all of these sets back in the day. I collect sports cards as well and I saw that a lot of PSA submitting cards were Marvel cards. Not long ago I could have purchased bunches of these boxes and tins for next to nothing.

Yeah bro I wish I had my trading card collection I had all three of those that you were showing on your video man when those cards came I was in high school New York and believe me those things were a big hit to the point that we were ban to bring them to school because fights will break out over the cards people stealing them it was crazy they were hot like that to the point that they were even started them out in the streets you know I used to buy them at the comic book store but then when I find out it was selling the boxes $30 a pop for a box with the full set and duplicates to the point that I was selling the duplicates myself lol

[@hulkingwarmachine3]

Cleaning the house the other day with my grandkids I came across my series 1 and almost gave them away. I wonder if by the time we got the cards back from PSA if the market drops.
