An Unbelievable Promo Deal
I saw this one on ebay yesterday

1993 Marvel Universe Spider-Man 2099 sample foil.

Sold for $ 5.00

The last two I saw show up on ebay over the past 5 years (the only other ones I ever saw) sold in the $ 100 range.

I found the ended listing. What's interesting is that when I did the search, the card only came up with the hyphen between the word SPIDER and MAN. When I searched the same words but with SPIDERMAN instead of SPIDER-MAN it didn't show up in the closed auctions. When I searched active cards, it also made a difference how SPIDERMAN/SPIDER-MAN was spelled as to how many listings came up. I know that when you're searching Ebay, it doesn't matter whether you add an (S) in general, you'll get the same number of listings with or without it but when it comes to hyphens, accuracy is the word apparently.

Hi Promoking,

It didn't come up in my first or second search when I looked for it yesterday and I knew it was there. It didn't have "promo" nor "card" in the title either so the seller severely limited its visibility to collectors interested in that card - a $100 mistake.

When I search for these, I always use Marvel sample foil as search terms. I have 8 of the 9 samples from this set. I have yet to see a Punisher 2099. No, Wolfie I was not the high bidder on this.

I do not think that these sellers know what they have or they are not their cards have been given or inherited and dont care .
I won a sale last week for a lot of Buffy promo cards with a Evolution BE-CL in it listed for $5 cost me $21 so someone else knew it was in there but there were other good cards with it should of gone for much more.
But as you say accurate descriptions have a lot to do with it.
I will possibly put it up for trade later
