The best retail Marvel trading card product in years | Marvel Platinum Blaster Boxes

[@dont-even-worry]

These blaster boxes are fun to rip, congrats on the hits!

[@icollectthings]

Thank you! Yeah they are a ton of fun at the $20 price.

[@lucasklingberg9551]

those are sweet cards... I remember collecting some kind of xmen cards in the 90s

[@icollectthings]

There were some great X-Men sets in the 90s. My favorites are probably the 1992 Impel Jim Lee X-Men Series 1, and the first Fleer Ultra X-Men sets.

[@lucasklingberg9551]

@icollectthings I think the fleer ultra is what I had, may still be buried in a closet at my parents house too

[@Juggernaut_Jr]

I'm really digging the Juggernaut card!

[@icollectthings]

Yeah it's great, I believe the art is by Gil Martimiano.

[@TJGudino]

Nice break. Great voice. Keep up the good work.

[@icollectthings]

Thank you!

Nice cards I’m getting my first blaster box today. - Scotty

[@icollectthings]

Good luck on your pulls!

[@scotthallrex]

@@icollectthings What is your best card that you have pulled so far?

[@icollectthings]

@@scotthallrex My best so far is Cosmic /25, one from hobby and one from a blaster. People have pulled some huge cards out of blasters. Most of the time though you get the 4 blue surge parallels, 1 numbered card usually a Teal Wave or Blue Traxx, 1-2 colored parallels, a variant cover, a rainbow, and the base. Which I think is a pretty good floor for a $20 retail item.

Really enjoy your content! It’s nice to see card breaks that fit with my main interests! That being Star Wars, comics and games! Keep it up!!

[@icollectthings]

I'm glad you checked out my channel and enjoy it, thank you for the support! Topps has been awfully quiet this year for Star Wars cards, I'm wondering when the next SW set will come out.

[@DialtoneJones]

I’m also curious what their plans are!

[@trainradioable]

I miss collecting comic character cards. Too many non-X-Men cards for my taste in this set though.

[@jwmarvel]

Hi Mark! Your videos are fantastic. I stumbled upon my old Fleer Ultra 94/95 X-men cards and have decided to dip my toe into collecting Marvel cards again. There are soooo many sets now, but your videos on Marvel Platinum blaster boxes have pushed me in that direction (while I wait for the Flair, Wolverine, and Marvel Metal presells to shop). It's pretty tough finding a decent deal on Blaster Boxes at the moment, but hopefully they'll come down again. I look forward to seeing more of your content.

[@icollectthings]

Thank you for checking out my videos, and I hope you enjoy getting back in to collecting Marvel cards. The blasters are tough to find, Upper Deck hasn't restocked recently and it's difficult to find them on shelves. I hope Platinum will come to ePack sooner than later to get more supply available. I am looking forward to the sets you mentioned, especially Flair =)

[@jwmarvel]

@@icollectthings Thanks! I'm waiting on a few orders to arrive so I can start building collections of a few recent sets. I saw that Upper Deck just restocked their platinum blaster boxes (limit of 4 per order) in case you were waiting on a restock yourself!

[@icollectthings]

@@jwmarvel Thank you for the tip!!! I was able to place an order. I've been checking daily, and this is the first time in several weeks that they have been available.

[@GouieLabay]

Me and my girlfriend ordered 3, super excited to open them this week! Great video and keep up the good work.

[@icollectthings]

Good luck, and enjoy them!

[@jvac1129]

I wish I was into these. They do look cool.

[@icollectthings]

Thank you for checking out my video!

[@fsi-world4442]

Great info

[@kingfishlou]

These are nice cards.

[@Foxhole1776]

I’m getting into marvel cards, as a cheap box do you recommend allegiance x-men vs avengers or marvel beginnings? Also thinking of pre ordering marvel metal avengers and marvel flair. Thoughts?

[@icollectthings]

I hesitate to make recommendations, but I personally prefer the smaller Allegiance set over Beginnings. There are neat parallels in Beginnings but the set is huge and has fringe characters. That can be a benefit though if you want to learn more and see characters that don't often get cards. Allegiance has holograms which makes for a fun chase. If you haven't already check out other people's box openings on both to see which you might prefer. I have one box of Flair and Metal Avengers on preorder. I'm expecting to enjoy Flair more. In Metal Avengers, I'm most interested in the retro cards. Current Metal Avengers preorder prices seem expensive to me. It's tough preordering the sets without seeing the checklist first. Have fun collecting, there are many great sets to learn about and collect!

[@Foxhole1776]

Thank you. DACA has some daily deals might start with a box of fleer ultra avengers and either beginnings or allegiance. Subscribed!

[@mariofigueroa6776]

Can’t find these boxes under 50 bucks

[@icollectthings]

Supply has really dried up. Upper Deck restocked last week but they sold out quickly. I love these at retail price but $50 is too much!

[@Joan_E]

I found 2 more blasters and they did not have any numbered cards, just the blue serge cards and the unnumbered colored rainbow cards in them. 😕

[@icollectthings]

That is a bummer =(

[@TheVeregat]

1:34 wtf why does enchantress weigh 450lbs lol

[@visioneyeviewtv]

it’s probably all the “magic” she carries with her 😌😭😂🤣😅😁
