Company: Skybox
Type: Insert/Chase - Battle Spectra Etch
Character: Wolverine vs Sabretooth
Grading Company: BGS (Beckett Grading Services)
Grade: 9.5 Gem Mint
Status: SOLD
In 1992, Skybox came out with a "premium" line of comic trading cards with artwork done by Joe Jusko. The beautiful art captivated many non-sport collectors and had them seeking the spectra-etched chase cards inserted randomly in packs. The set, however, was over-produced although gem mint quality cards are still hard to come by. The battle spectra cards were prone to edge wear and corner dents during the production process although surface and centering issues were rare. This card was pulled from an unopened box I purchased in the early 2000's. I submitted it to Beckett in the fall of 2012 and the card was graded gem mint. It was then sold to a collector a month later.
