Upper Deck Entertainment will release a new Skybox Marvel Masterpieces trading card set in early November featuring published and unpublished Vs. art displayed in a larger, full bleed trading card format.
Each pack will include one sketch card (some by Joe Jusko, who did many pieces of art for the original Marvel Masterpieces sets) and one card from a Fleer-branded parallel deck. Special Flair-branded cards will be inserted. Case and box toppers will be black and white versions of cards from the regular set and a chase set will include three-card 'stackers' that create one larger image.
The Skybox Marvel Masterpieces sets released in the early 90s sold huge numbers. In this revival set, Upper Deck is utilizing four brands (Marvel Masterpieces, Skybox, Fleer, and Flair) that it acquired when it bought the assets of Fleer in 2005 (see 'Upper Deck Acquires Fleer').
