its hard to see that last one, but it looks like a red bradley sketch on its own without seeing the autograph.

3 Sketches and 0 Costume cards.

This is the 8th or 9th product this year I have been shorted premium inserts from. Non Sports is beginging to become like Sports cards for me.

I opened one box last night and got the following:

2 complete base sets
1 Hulk die cut
1 Iron Man die cut
9 Avengers chase
7 Marvel Heroines chase
1 Sketch (Captain America)
0 Fantastic Four Chase

Overall the set is nice. I like the Avengers and Marvel Heroines chase sets. Unlike Set 1 there are no parallel cards. The art on the cards in general are hit or miss.

BTW... the Hulk/Iron Man Chase sets have a retail and hobby version. Anyone have more details on this?

There are 3 cards in both the Iron Man and Hulk sets. The first card is in the hobby, the others are retail exclusive. We will not know how rare they are until the retail product hits.

Tim I believe the Ghost Rider card is Marat Michaels. Artist for Brigade from Image Comics back in the 90's.

Hey Alfster,
Cool cards! The top one is Benjamin Glendenning who did 200 and the Domino is from te ever reliable Steven Miller who did 100.

Still working on my case, but I wanted to mention that the case card in mine was just one of the regular oversized box cards, which I found kind of odd. Upper Deck could've put foil or something on it to differentiate it, but for whatever reason, they chose not to. With the case cards being the same as the box cards, and all part of the same five card set, and almost certainly hobby exclusive, it seems will be a little less than 4,000 of each. These would look terrific autographed and this is convention season, so wish me luck!

Also, the Doctor Doom costume material has at least three variants so they used different pieces of the costume which is pretty cool. Not sure if these are from the original FF movie or the Silver Surfer sequel.

It is pretty hard to tell as the background is so dark. A scan of the card itself could help as someone might recognize the style.
