| This is excellent news for the base cards. Collectors have been wanting this for a long time. Of course base cards can't carry a release, so we'll see how the rest of the series fills out....but definately a good start.  |

| My most anticipated set for the decade. Yet I fear what UD might do to it.

| This should follow the model from the last real Marvel Masterpieces set, the one from 1996 by Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell, now rightly considered a classic. This new Jusko set should be 100 base cards, 6 double sided embossed cards, and 6 gold foil framed gallery cards. The only other inserts should be Jusko sketches (seeded as rarely as they need to be from Jusko only, no filler!) and 9 winner Redemption cards for 9 original paintings from the set. 16 pack boxes, and $6 bucks a pack (for inflation, the '96 ones were $4 per pack, and there were no sketch cards at all). Great news, and I hope this means Joe will maybe at last do that DC Masterpieces set that was planned back in the 1990's but never came to pass.

No, I can tell you it has not been solicited to dealers for orders yet. I asked last week and there is no current information to be had. They may be waiting for the art to be mostly complete before proceeding. Relying on one artist to do all the art means there can easily be delays. Ed |

Unfortunately, Upper Deck has moved the release of Marvel Masterpieces to next year. Looks like next Summer, to be more precise. To hold you over, we have a new Marvel Masterpieces promo in the upcoming issue of Non-Sport Update. Hey, I know its not quite the set, but it's something, right?  |

| UD doing their usual thing of using one piece of art over and over. So far, if I remember correctly, I have the over-sized signed cards, 3 or 4 gaming promos, and 1 regular promo card. All Joe's new art. He's been working on this for about a year now. Might be some delays due to Marvel's approval process. I'm having Bowen Designs flash backs. From hint, to preview pics, to ordering, to shipping taking a year or two.

Should be a great set when issued and back to quality it deserves with joes artwork |
