The last chapter of Hro | Batman 85 Years

[@lillypadgaming6191]

Hi Mark, seemed a pretty decent box ! Shame it’s come to an end, great concept badly managed, good luck if your going for the leaderboard.

[@kennethpcc]

thanks for the vid Mark. Always enjoy your openings. too bad there was so many duplicates!

[@MantisCollectables]

I am so excited for the new Upper Deck stuff!

[@icollectthings]

Me too, I can't wait to see who will do the Masterpieces set.

[@MantisCollectables]

@icollectthings It's gonna be nuts. I was just able to pre-order 2 boxes of the new DC annual!

[@dont-even-worry]

These look great! The watercolor cards look like Dustin Nguyen artwork.

[@icollectthings]

Thank you!

[@kriskollects]

Super cool video! What do you mean by lower mint numbers and "good for the leaderboard"? New to these cards

[@icollectthings]

The back of the card has a QR code, that you can scan with an app to redeem a digital twin with the same edition number. Unfortunately Hro is shutting down and this is the last hybrid set, and the app is going away =( For this and past Hro hybrid sets, Hro awarded bonus digital cards if you completed the set by a certain date and for placing on a ranked leaderboard. The lower numbered cards are worth more leaderboard points, especially the "premium mints" under 100.

[@kriskollects]

@icollectthings Oh I see, cool!

The first foil card by Mike Mignola is great!

[@icollectthings]

It's a great cover, would love to find it digging through back issue boxes.

[@fardeenahmad4865]

Do these have still value like can you sell them now that they have shut down

[@thenavigator5889]

Love the Robin!!

[@Dwagginz]

Really liked that Batwoman common you got in Pack 11, it looks great. My favourite Batman movie is Batman Returns Feels like Hro made a big mistake by not listing the artist(s) on the cards. Kinda inexcusable if you ask me. Shame about the number of repeats too. As for the watercolours, I can't say for certain but they remind me of... I'm probably mixing a bunch of names here but Dustin Nguyen maybe? There was certainly a series of possibly younger-readers Batman comics done in similar colours, I remember some Christmas specials.

[@icollectthings]

Thank you, it does seem to be Dustin Nguyen. Hro have been odd about not acknowledging artists even for the few brand new original art cards, but maybe it's due to terms on the WB/DC side. Hopefully Upper Deck will do better in that regard.

[@Prospective_of_Jay]

Yikes… it’s ending? Man! Talk about holding the bags. I guess I’ll buy a box or 2 for old times sake.

[@icollectthings]

Yeah it's ending, bittersweet for me. It's been fun but also had some missed opportunities. Maybe someday they will try another IP.

[@GangstaZambookii]

Uh I don’t think all the legends have brand new art because I’m pretty sure that nightwing you got is the cover of one of the newer comics I could be wrong tho

[@icollectthings]

If you see the art on a cover let me know the issue! Hro says it's original art, but I wouldn't be surprised if some of it also gets released as comic covers.

[@davidkeye9334]

The foil cards are stunning, but the commons are pretty disappointing.

[@icollectthings]

Yeah all the foil cards are great, but the matte finish cards are kind of filler, especially the Batmobile and gadget illustrations.

Hello Mark

[@icollectthings]

Hello, thanks for stopping by my channel

[@Lihtsleeper]

I picked up 2 boxes of this didn’t open up yet

[@icollectthings]

Good luck if you crack them open!

[@natz117]

Where did you order from?

[@icollectthings]

I purchased it directly through Hro's online shop, there is a link in the description. Past sets were at retail shops and Amazon, but this one is sold exclusively direct from Hro.
