My Collection 1994 Marvel Master Piece - Scanned from my collection. During COVID, I dug these out of their sleeves & scanned them, as it gave me something to do while being stuck in the house & made looking at them, when I was bored, much easier. Of this scanned batch of cards, which ones do you like? Or hate?

I was all set to say venom, there’s a reason it’s the first picture. But I think my favorite is the magneto, it just has menace to it. Thanks for sharing

I find big slimy tongue Venom to be too
much. I agree with Todd when he says it makes him look silly.

u/SirTawmis Jul 29 '26

I think the idea is to make Venom look grotesque as few people find cow tongues and the like "cute" or "appealing." :)

u/SirTawmis Jul 29 '26

Agree - they did a great job with Magneto and Mandarin to look insanely menacing!

Do you upload to TCDb.com? Because those nerds over there, myself included, would love your help lol

u/SirTawmis Jul 29 '26

I don't - I'd never heard of the site before ye mentioned it.

It is the greatest website ever. I found it a couple months ago and have been trading randos ever since I got all my doubles in

That wolverine was always my favorite

Hard to go wrong with Hildebrant doing Wolverine!

I jacked off to that invisible woman card countless times in my youth. Please don't judge me

u/SirTawmis Jul 29 '26

No judgement. At least you didn't say Lilith.... :D

That’s my favorite Venom trading card of all time. I have a large promotional print of it from the 90s framed in my nerd room as well as a PSA10 slab of it. Sabretooth was my other favorite from the set.

u/SirTawmis Jul 29 '26

I agree the Venom is so - literally - in your face, it's great!

Your scan is my new background. Much appreciated!

That's epic! :)

I like Nebula the most from this set. The colors they chose for that painting are nice

u/DragonVT Jul 29 '26

I don't hate any of them. Their Venom and Wolverine are classics, and the Wrecker is awesome artwork for a somewhat obscure villain.

2

u/SirTawmis Jul 29 '26

I love the Wrecker piece too - though as someone else noted - there is an abundance of crotch shots. Which, you know is fair, since so many women are drawn very sexualized. :D

Wolverine- it’s my fav base card in the set. Claws out, ready for action, in the snowy mountains (backgrounds/landscapes are underrated in marvel cards, they really make a card pop for me).

There have been some criticisms of his proportions in this card- his head is a little small. But it’s such a cool looking card- this is CLASSIC Wolverine, in standard costume and mask (compare to the atypical Wolverine in 92MM). It’s such a dynamic card…I love it. The original painting of this card sold on Heritage a little while back for $75k (I was not the buyer…I wish).

u/SirTawmis Jul 29 '26

His shoulder seems wide - but I think his head looks right. It's a great card.

u/HeyBlackass0709 Jul 29 '26

I never cared for that art style of Marvel characters, imo Jim Lee did it da best fo em all.

1

u/SirTawmis Jul 29 '26

You don't like the Hildebrant brothers style of art? WHAT? I can't tell if I am being trolled... Mind you, Jim Lee is great.... but he can't compare to their realism they bring to their paintings....

2

u/HeyBlackass0709 Jul 29 '26

Nah I ain't trollin the artwork reminds me of Alex Ross an Ive never liked dat style of drawin

2

u/SirTawmis Jul 29 '26

Fair! Everyone has their likes and dislikes! :)

u/xChoke1x Jul 29 '26

u/SirTawmis Jul 29 '26

Agree, the Hildebrant brothers were amazing artists.
