What were the "Multi Foil E Motion" parallels ? First I've heard of these. I don't recall anything like that back in 1995. Anyone ?

Parallel version of the base card set on thicker stock with the gold foil signature of the artist on each card plus a word embossed into the card describing the hero depicted. I don't have one in front of me, but if it were a card of the Hulk, the embossed "E-Motion" word might be "RAGE" or "SMASH".
They were one per pack, so you'd need multiple boxes to make a set, and they are valuable now, probably a few hundred bucks for a parallel set of the 150 (or so) Emotion cards since a common 1995 base set is worth around $50, last time I checked.

I believe MM95 this was the only non-sport set to ever use them, but Skybox used them on several sports cards sets around this same time, and they originated on those first, as I recall, and in those sets, the Emotion version of the sports card wasn't a parallel, it was used on all of the regular base cards, so they were pretty expensive packs for the time. They are good looking cards, lots of foil, thick stock, and extra high gloss.
