A HUGE announcement from Upper Deck of a new Marvel Masterpieces set... or is it new?

MMXL is due to release later in 2024 and reproduces the work of Joe Jusko in Masterpieces 2016 in a larger format. What say we on this?

Wesley, Ian, and Keith review the info known so far, speculate on how this will look and feel, and relay some initial community thoughts about the set.

Note - the episode was recorded just prior to Joe Jusko posting his thoughts and info on his (non) involvement in this release, so we do not cover that in this episode.

The set info and sell sheet can be found here; https://gogts.net/2024-skybox-marvel-masterpieces-xl-trading-cards/

Marvel Platinum is here! Joining the podcast this week are Grant Sandground and TJ Shevlin from Upper Deck to give us the insider scoop on the set.

We hear about the set breakdown, the sheer scale of the checklist and how that translates to better pack odds and hit ratios.

Grant touches on 'parallel nervosa' feedback and shows us a whole lot of really cool looking cards. TJ talks about the Variant Cover and deepcut checklist inclusions - all in all, we had a blast!

The set releases 13 March 2024 and as ever, huge thanks to Grant and TJ for making the time to come and talk to us!

Here’s the link to that incredible Marvel Platinum checklist; https://gogts.net/2023-upper-deck-marvel-platinum-trading-cards/

We throwdown with Fleer Throwbacks ’89 this week as we review the set and discuss its reception.

Then we wade into the newly released checklist for Marvel Platinum, being released 13 March 2024.

And boy – we wade DEEP and we swim in its vastness.

Some great advance visuals to chew on (go to YouTube to see) and some gorgeous original art coming.
