The Ones That Got Away...
I did some detective work and tracked down the ebay seller who bought the Doom 2099 sheet last month. He told me that he resold it last week for $ 300 ! So I guess the demand for these old 1993 promos is increasing...

What other promo sheets did SkyBox release around that era, circa 1993, that came encased in those plastic holders ?

I have seen ones for DC Milestone and Ultraverse Series 1. They are listed in PCE. That is it.

There is also the 3 card Milestone: The Dakota Universe sheet limited to 900. Distributed at Heroes World Sales Conference circa 1993.

Albert,

Is that Milestone the same one which Tommy mentioned ?

I have the 3 card sheet in the plastic holder, but have not looked at it in awhile.

Or are we talking about 2 different sheets for the same set ? Milestone and DC Milestone are the same thing. DC Comics did this series.

It probably is the same. But I would just like a confirmation from Tommy whether he and I are talking about the same sheet.

Hi Promoking,

That's the one with Hardware, Icon & Rocket, and Static on the front with Heroes World and Skybox (Because Great Cards are Hard to Find) logos on the back (serial-numbered out of 900).

I am sure that there is only 1 slabbed Milestone promo sheet.

Is there just 1 for Ultraverse, the one from the first set ?

I've only seen the one Ultraverse.

Hi David,

I'm afraid another one of those sheets sold for something less than $60 last month. If the seller had worded it better, it would been more visible and would have gone for a lot more.

Another sheet just sold (3-22-21) for around $300.

Yikes ! Can't believe that I missed that Doom 2099 sheet. That one is still on my want list. I have had the other 2 sheets for years but not the Doom. I have only seen 2 of those show up on Ebay in the past and I always saw them after they sold. Right now one of the other red foil sheets is on ebay, the one of the 3 villains. Asking price $ 450.

Someone is also selling a Marvel Universe IV collection including all three of the red foil sheets and six of the red foil samples (no stickers).
