I was bummed that I only got one costume out of this box, but I'm thinking it's because my costume card had a low number. It could just be random chance, however.

I don't believe there is any particular significance. Some people like 0001 but I am afraid 0080 has no added value

ok, well that's good to know. My happy thought is that I hadn't pulled that particular card before, so at least I don't have a duplicate!

opened 2 boxes today.
I got them off ebay for myself.
Box 1 yeild
FF001 Human Torch flight suit 556/969
DD004 Dr. Doom Julian Mcahon Cloak 366/499

Box 2 Yeild
DD003 Dr. Doom Cloak 3953/4999 Green Variant
FF006 Invisible Woman Jessica Alba Flight Suit
255/299

Needless to say I was VERY pleased.
Because I have 3 other costume cards and 2 are different and my other doom's cloak is gold!
Only need a Thing to have 1 from every member of the F4 and I think I am going to get the last doom costume to finish off the doom set!

very good barobehere.me is jealous

Hey... it's not so bad since lots of people like those low numbered cards!

NICE PULLS!!! Wish I had had the same luck, but then again, you have been the lucky one of late

I agree, nice pulls. I actually really like this set, but I wish they'd have gone deeper with the chase cards. A foil set of the 5 would have been really cool. The way they've done promo cards for this set has been very nice.

Got 2 boxes
Costume cards
FF007 The Thing Flight Suit pants 109/399 (blue)
DD001 Victor Von Doom Shirt 1482/1899 (black)
DD002 Victor Von Doom Suit 357/999 (black)
DD003 Dr. Doom Cloak 2578/4999 (black)

I reckon Jeff Allender's listing for the Doom cards might be a bit off. His listing mentions only orange swatches for DD001 & DD002. Also for FF007, it doesn't mention a blue swatch.

Raj, if you find variations, just email Jeff and tell him what you found. This particular set I think will be a bane for collectors with the way they set up the costume cards anyway. Just let him know what you've got, and he'll change his list.

Raj, the Blue & Orange is for the color of the card not the swatch.

That would explain it. In which case all my cards are orange.

nice pulls you got there Raj

One more box.

1 base set + extra singles.

DD003 Dr. Doom Cloak 1532/4999 (orange card/reddish swatch)
FF003 Mr. Fantastic Flight suit 930/969 (orange card/blue swatch)

Picked up a box off eBay cheap, because I sold all of mine before I got a chance to open any...

First off, this is the WORST set for sorting I've ever dealt with. The font is thin, and on the orange background the numbers blur. A real pain to sort out into a set.

1 base set plus extras

DD003 #1994/4999
ff005 #127/349

I guess I had good luck since this wasn't a Topps product. Never dreamed I'd pull the Invisible Woman flight suit. I was just going to be happy if my box yielded 2 costume cards!

Ed

Good for you Ed on getting the Alba costume

This set was the most difficult in collating for me

1 more box
FF004 Mr. Fantastic Flight suit 126/499
DD003 Dr. Doom cloak 340/4999

Great pull Raj!!!

By the way I just bought three boxes too!!!

Here are the chase cards I received:

DD001 (black material)
DD002 (black material)
DD003 (black material)
DD004 (red material)
FF004 (dark blue/black material)
FF007 (dar blue/black ribbed cloth material)

Just to add more precision about my chase cards...:

DD001-Victor Von Doom/Shirt 1451/1899
DD002-Victor Von Doom/Suit 022/999
DD003-Doctor Doom/Cloak 0451/4999
