Parallel Set: Each box of Eskimo pie contained 2 cards in the back that can be cut out. There are 12 different boxes you can pick from. The problem is searching for each different one.
The Cut-out version has the same exact art as the mail-in card set but differs in 2 ways:
Backs are blank brown carton color (may get dirty from ice cream)
Contains “TM & © 1995 MARVEL ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, INC.” at the bottom
Known Errors: The Cut-out cards are prone to getting bent and damage due to being placed in fridges.
The following are the checklist for the 12 different boxes, I’ve only seen 3 so far:
1 of 24 / 13 of 24
2 of 24 / 9 of 24
19 of 24 / 21 of 24
