If marvel brought back a collectible cards series.

i was going through some old boxes and found my 1993 marvel skybox series cards. If you are unfamiler with the series it was the first and last card card series where each card of a page was part of the larger picture for that page. on the back of each card you would have the characters present affiliation , stats, real name, head shot, another bodyshot, fun facts about the character and other interesting facts. Now if they had to make a new series I would love it to be like the 93' skybox series.

I could see page one with the Secret Avengers, page two with the Uncanny X-men so on and so forth. what are your thoughts on something like that?

I have a ton of Marvel cards. It's basically what got me into comics.

This is my hidden agenda by starting this topic . Back in the 90's we never read comics much and didn't know what titles to pick up. Then we saw the awsome art on Marvel cards and all our friends "Had to have them" . To most kids they need to finish the series. To a new comic kid they were a chance to have a card of your fave hero or villain. You look now you see comercials for Yu-Gi-Oh cards kids still play with Pokemon cards. Cards will never go out of style and if Marvel was smart about it they could bring in more younger readers.

i used to have the entire set of marvel cards except the holograms. even had a load of marvel overpower cards [anyone remember those?]. i have 2 binders full of pokemon cards from individual sets and also a complete set [minus holos] of dc series 1 cards that i bought for $1 at the comic book show back in march

the cards are a good reference if you want a costume made of your favorite character
