Good stuff. One of my favorite sets. Keep in mind, these cards were produced when Marvel had a ton of cash to spend, so they hired a bunch of artists for this set after the success of Jusko's 92 MM set. The MCU wasn't a thing yet, so nothing had to be slid that way. They were trying to push the 2099 stuff as well, even with 93 MU, so those were the chase cards in both sets that year. Ultimately, these cards were commercials for what was going on in the comics at the time.
It’s not like the sets today. Really you are searching for great condition cards that might grade well if you are looking at it from a hit stand point. The set is just a base set with one insert, the dyna etches. The 2099 base cards are really cool. This is more of a set that is to be enjoyed just for the cards vs finding big hits. They tend to brick quite a bit as well. That means being stuck together.
Most of the base cards aren’t worth a lot raw because there were so many of them produced. However if they were to grade a 10 then those could be worth 30-100+ dollars depending on the card and set
Are you looking to get them graded? Or just overall condition? For grading there are a lot of options, but if you just want to check overall condition I would recommend picking up a lighted magnifier from ebay. There are a bunch of videos on RUclips on evaluating card conditions that are beneficial.
Yo those chase cards are sick dude... I remember in my first pack I ever unwrapped I pulled out a metalhead... in my second I pulled out a crystallis... been hooked ever since... marvel metal was the best... if only they had joe jusko/jim lee/rob liefield/Sam kieth... chase cards like that...
At some point I wanna get a sealed box of marvel cards that started it all for me and probably a lot of people and that is 1994 fleer ultra x-men premiere edition. 😁
Just opened a box of these and got 5 of the dyna-etches, it was crazy. Also tried your trick for the bricked cards and it worked very well, thank you for that!
I've been going down the rabbit hole of trading cards, bought a box of 250 or so near mint(nice edges, no crease,fold, beautiful) 94 marvel universe, 95 fleer ultra X-Men, 96 X-Men, and about 250 1996 Yu-Gi-Oh cards. Really if I can make my little bit of money back off Yu-Gi-Oh, and keep the rest I'm gonna. But my luck they will turn out to be trash and I loose my money.
I found that you really have to get lucky when opening cards to “make money”. More times than not the best investment is holding sealed product. But from a collecting and enjoyment standpoint I love opening cards. I have made a big change towards only opening things I enjoy vs opening everything I can get my hands on.
@@TrueBlueCollectibles considering I got the whole box for 50$ it will be hard to go wrong right? They were opened, but still in original packages, like 20 years ago somebody wanted a look, but stashed them away right after.
@@phanaticcollectibles3421 These are foil printing errors. I have serveral of these as well for other characters. Some people try to collect the set of missing foil cards. I normally get 2-3 per box.
Collected these when I was a kid. Think I have the whole set stored away somewhere.
One of my fondest memories was collecting those cards during my high school year and still have all of them to this day
Those were fun years for cards. The early mid 90's were that time in which inserts started becoming popular and common in sets.
Thanks for sharing your breaks with us!
Thanks for the watch.
The special etch cards spotlighted characters from the X-Men 2099 comic
They are pretty cool. I think a lot of collectors would have like to see a few well known characters in the etch cards.

Great info. Thanks for watching.
Annihilus is a Fantastic Four villain from the Negative Zone
My mom and I spent tons of time collecting these!
They are so much fun. I love that the boxes are numbered.
what are the big hits to pull out of these boxes i was thinking about grabbing a box myself :)

Are the 2099 cards worth something I have nearly a full set of these and I have a full set of 1992 masterpieces and the animated series cards
Most of the base cards aren’t worth a lot raw because there were so many of them produced. However if they were to grade a 10 then those could be worth 30-100+ dollars depending on the card and set
Where do I go to get these evaluated? I have the full set with extras in pretty good condition.

Thanks for watching. We ripped a second box but it was bricked worse than this so we made it into a tutorial on how to unbrick cards.
@@TrueBlueCollectibles they were bricked from the start... especially the 1995 fleers the fat ones... any of them with a glossy touch... good luck. 👍

Awesome. I’m glad it helped save your cards.
And your wish has been granted 18:53 !!!
18:53 and your wish has been granted!!!

@@ryurc3033 nice. Yeah hard to go wrong.
I accidentally bought 7 boxes of these.
Keep them sealed if you can. Great collectors boxes. If you do open and they are bricked, I made a video on how to unbrick them.
You really shouldn't bend them in my opinion.
Cool opening I opened a few packs back in 93-95 timeframe. Check out my graded card videos of 90s marvel
Thanks for watching and the sub. I will definitely check out the channel.
Just a question if you know. I have a 1993 masterpieces phoenix that has no name what so ever. No color or name. Thoughts?
