These oversized black and white envelopes from circa 1993 have large cards included in the packets. Any idea as to how many different envelopes there are ? I have seen Vortex, Steel Harbor (shows Barb Wire), and Golden City

Looks like there is a fourth one of Arcadia (shows the hero X)

Are you talking about case inserts? Those oversized matrix chase cards? Or is this something else?

No, these were sealed black and white 8 x 11 sized envelopes sent to comic stores which apparently contained advertisements for the comic books and each one had oversized cards included. I see 3 of the 4 different ones on ebay now. You can see by doing a search of the term in my first post. I don't know how to post images. These cards are listed in PCE

Thanks!

I wasn’t aware of these before. I usually don’t look at promotional items for comics, but these look cool and I did collect these comics. I’ll watch them.

It seems to be the same bookmark card in all the packs.

I also noticed variations between packs. Like diamonds or no diamonds at the bottom of one of them. Another had a sticker.

David R,

Here is an image of the fourth pack which I do not see on ebay.
