A Vulture 2099 sold on ebay on March 16 for $ 332 !

Someone is asking $ 500 for a Fearmaster now !

These used to sell for $ 5 to 10 back in the day

Before this year, the highest I ever saw a 1993 Marvel sample go for was about $ 100, and that was on a Spider-Man 2099 foil

Yeah, I remember when I bought the Vulture 2099 sample about 20 years ago, I bought "high" at $15.

A Fearmaster sold on ebay in late June for $ 175 !

possible to see front and back pics of these cards mentioned,. please..?

A Fearmaster sample without the sticker on the back sold on May 24 for $46.99. It probably would have sold for more if it had "sample" in the title or description. Here's the link which will be active for only a couple of more weeks:

Thanks cats, that second one is really cool. !! Do you know any info on it..? how many were produced, how were they distributed etc. ?

I never heard about a print run on those. It appears only some dealers got them - perhaps just one per dealer. I saw just one locally and you'd see them occasionally at shows. For a while, it wass weird to see the blank back ones, because for a while, I saw only the ones with the sticker.

It has always been assumed that there are sample foil versions, with the stickers on the backs, for each of the 9 chase cards in the set.

Over the past 25 years plus, I have only come across 8 different ones: Spider-Man 2099, Doom 2099, Specialist, Fearmaster, Tiger Wylde, Dethstryk, Ravage 2099, and Vulture 2099.

I only saw the Spider-Man for the first time within the past 3 or 4 years on ebay. The above 8 definitely exist.

I have consulted with a hardcore Marvel collector, and neither he nor I have ever seen one with the sticker for Punisher 2099. Does it exist ?

As for the blank backed ones, I have seen uncut sheets of the 9 on ebay, with the blank backs (and no stickers) so perhaps someone cut them up ? Maybe or maybe not.

A Tiger Wylde with the sticker on the back sold for $ 117 on ebay on August 20 !!!

A few years ago, these would sell for $10-15 tops

Who is paying these prices ???
