While digging through some things I came across 2 framed sets of cards from 1993. I can't recall where I obtained these from. All contain SkyBox cards or promos. The first has the Superboy card from DC Bloodlines, a Star Trek DS9 foil, the Jerry Glanville foil from American Vintage Cycles and 2 sports cards. The frame mentions the 1993 National. The second frame has cards of the Return of Superman, Sandman, 1993 Marvel Masterpieces, Ultraverse, Star Trek and 2 pogs and it mentions the Oct 1993 Philly Comicfest. Are these legit or homemade ?

I have a similar frame from the Oct 1993 Philly Comicfest, so they are legit. I don't know the exact run, but at one point someone told me that 1,000 were made. Not sure of that is correct, but I've had mine for since the late 1990s.

Yes, I've seen at least two of those on Ebay over the years.

Thank you for posting those, John.

I am sure that there are others, as well.

Yes, I think there was another one. There was that collector who had some oddball promos on Ebay (e.g. Harvest Heritage Metal) a couple of years ago. I think she made a comment or two here. I can't remember her name but might be able to find it.

"Skybox International Philadelphia ComicFest October 1993 Ltd Framed Card Display Skybox International Philadelphia ComicFest October 1993 Ltd Framed Card Display Produced in 1993 by Skybox as a VERY limited glass framed display of some of their product, this was given to their distributors and a limited number of larger vendors at the Philadelphia ComicFest. There were probably less than 100 made, and we have never seen one for sale on eBay. We were one of their distributors as well as a vendor at the convention."

Top: 1993 SkyBox The Return of Superman - Foil, 1994 SkyBox The Sandman - The Doll's House Promo, 1993 SkyBox Ultraverse - Bonus Ultraverse Ultra
Bottom: 1993 SkyBox Marvel Masterpieces - X-Men 2099 Dyna-Etch, 2 pog cards, 1993 SkyBox Star Trek Master Series - Base

You have a 1993 National Sports Framed.
