1994 Flair Marvel Annual Power Blast Thor - Graded GMA Gem Mint 10

Set: 1994 Flair Marvel Annual
Company: Flair
Type: Insert/Chase - Power Blast
Character: Thor
Grading Company: GMA (GMA Grading)
Grade: Gem Mint 10
Status: For Sale SOLD

Flair issued their inaugural Marvel card set and it was a beauty.  Each ultra-glossy card was printed on thick card stock and they were packaged in mini-boxes instead of the usual sealed packs.  The insert cards were called "Power Blast" and had foil on the back-side. 

The Thor Power Blast card below was graded Gem Mint by GMA Grading.

1992 Marvel Masterpieces Lost Cards Typhoid Mary (Tin Exclusive) - Graded BGS 9.5 Gem Mint

Set: 1992 Marvel Masterpieces
Company: Skybox
Type: Insert/Chase - Lost Marvel Cards
Character: Typhoid Mary
Grading Company: BGS (Beckett Grading Services)
Grade: 9.5 Gem Mint
Status: SOLD

Instead of making these Lost Cards available through packs, they were only found in "limited" tin sets numbered to 35,000.  Each of the 5 cards, which included Scarlet Witch, Feral, Deathbird, Typhoid Mary, and Jubilee, were also drawn by Joe Jusko.  I sold the entire Lost Marvel card set graded Gem Mint by Beckett three years ago to a collector in Florida.  At the time, it was the only complete set graded BGS 9.5 or better.

1996 Marvel Masterpieces Double Impact Rogue/Human Torch - Graded BGS 9.5 Gem Mint

Set: 1996 Marvel Masterpieces
Company: Fleer/Skybox
Type: Insert/Chase - Double Impact
Character: Rogue/Human Torch
Grading Company: BGS (Beckett Grading Services)
Grade: 9.5 Gem Mint
Status: Personal Collection

Another one of my favorite graded Marvel cards is the Rogue/Human Torch Double Impact insert card from the 1996 Marvel Masterpieces set.  Beckett graded this card 9.5 Gem Mint and similar to the Punisher/Psylocke Double Impact card I highlighted earlier, it is the only one in the world graded Gem Mint based on Beckett's population report.

I purchased two unopened 1996 Marvel Masterpieces packs among which one included this exact card.  The edges are prone to flaking and chipping as they are extremely condition sensitive.  So far I have two out of the six Double Impact cards graded Gem Mint.  The remaining are graded BGS 9 Mint so it'll be awhile until my quest is complete.

The only thing I need to get Beckett to fix is the label as they printed "Rogue/Human Torch/Rogue."  To some, this may not be a big deal but considering how much I'm OCD to this kind of stuff, I'll be sending this card back to Beckett in the near future for a correction.

Skybox celebrated thirty years of X-Men by releasing a gold foil insert set with the X-Men Series 2 cards.  The nine card set was made up of Cyclops, Storm, Rogue, Cable, Professor X, Wolverine, Magneto, Juggernaut, and the Sentinels.  They were inserted at a rate of about 2-3 per box.  I sold two Wolverine BGS 9.5's - one about two years and another just this last month.  Below is a picture of the card from the latest sale.
