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. 

1995 Marvel Masterpieces E-Motion Rogue - Graded GMA 10 Gem Mint

Following the footsteps of the 1994 Marvel Masterpieces set, Fleer released parallel cards for each base card in the 1995 set.  These E-Motion cards were printed on thicker stock and had the artist's signature stamped in gold foil.  Along the side of the card was an "emotion" that displayed a holo-flash effect.  E-Motion cards are among the more desirable inserts from the 90's and individual ungraded cards can easily start from $5.00.  Fleer inserted one E-Motion card per pack but unopened boxes now sell from $400-$500.  As you can see, gem mint quality E-Motion cards are not easy to come by.
