AustinGorton<p>Card #004: Darth Vader</p><p>I&#39;m always a sucker for pre-Prequel references to the Rise of the Empire. It was like the Wild West for us Star Wars fans back then. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TradingCardADay" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TradingCardADay</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SWG1" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SWG1</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/StarWars" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>StarWars</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/StarWarsEnsemble" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>StarWarsEnsemble</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/DarthVader" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DarthVader</span></a></p>
AustinGorton<p>Card #003: Luke Skywalker</p><p>The first subset is Star Wars Ensemble, portraits of major characters by artist Joe Smith (basically analogous to the Super-Hero/Villain categories).</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Spoilers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Spoilers</span></a> for Empire...</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TradingCardADay" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TradingCardADay</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SWG1" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SWG1</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/StarWars" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>StarWars</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/StarWarsEnsemble" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>StarWarsEnsemble</span></a></p>
AustinGorton<p>Card #002: George Lucas</p><p>A tribute card to George Lucas aka the person angry Star Wars commenters online complained about before Kathleen Kennedy.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TradingCardADay" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TradingCardADay</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SWG1" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SWG1</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/StarWars" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>StarWars</span></a></p>
AustinGorton<p>Card #001</p><p>With Marvel Universe Series 4 wrapped, it&#39;s time to dive into a new set. We&#39;re going to a galaxy far far away with the first series of Star Wars Galaxy cards!</p><p>It begins w/a pseudo-checklist card that lays out the set&#39;s subcategories.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TradingCardADay" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TradingCardADay</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SWG1" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SWG1</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/StarWars" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>StarWars</span></a></p>
AustinGorton<p>Card H-IV: Spider-Man vs Venom</p><p>The last card of the set, a hologram chase card that came in three different colors and was inserted at a rate of 1 in every 180 packs. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TradingCardADay" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TradingCardADay</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MU4" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MU4</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SpiderMan" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SpiderMan</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Venom" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Venom</span></a></p>
AustinGorton<p>Card 9-2099: Tiger Wylde</p><p>Did any letter get more of a boost in the 90s than &quot;Y&quot;?</p><p>I like how this guy&#39;s head looks like someone stuffed a tiger into one of those metal condom helmets that were all the rage back then.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TradingCardADay" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TradingCardADay</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MU4" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MU4</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Marvel2099" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Marvel2099</span></a></p>
AustinGorton<p>Card 8-2099: Dethstryk</p><p>What a delightful slice of the 90s.</p><p>Name that jams two cool sounding words together? Check. Deliberate misspelling of those words? Check. Silver armor but has a cape? Check. Random weapon? Check.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TradingCardADay" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TradingCardADay</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MU4" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MU4</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Marvel2099" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Marvel2099</span></a></p>
AustinGorton<p>Card 7-2099: Specialist</p><p>What a bland, generic codename.</p><p>For all that the 2099 books missed in its depiction of the future, making the central villain of the imprint a corporation only grows more prescient with time.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TradingCardADay" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TradingCardADay</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MU4" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MU4</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Marvel2099" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Marvel2099</span></a></p>
AustinGorton<p>Card 6-2099: Punisher 2099</p><p>For all the other issues baked into the character&#39;s concept, it&#39;s a simple origin that&#39;s easy to reuse. &quot;Here&#39;s another guy pissed off his family was murdered, but in the future!&quot;</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TradingCardADay" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TradingCardADay</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MU4" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MU4</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Marvel2099" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Marvel2099</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Punisher" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Punisher</span></a></p>
AustinGorton<p>Card 5-2099: Spider=Man 2099</p><p>The arguable star of the 2099 imprint appropriately nabs center square. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TradingCardADay" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TradingCardADay</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MU4" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MU4</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Marvel2099" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Marvel2099</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SpiderMan" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SpiderMan</span></a></p>

AustinGorton<p>Card 3-2099: Ravage 2099</p><p>Purportedly Stan Lee&#39;s last original creation for Marvel, and the only 2099 launch character that is not a future version of an existing character.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TradingCardADay" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TradingCardADay</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MU4" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MU4</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Marvel2099" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Marvel2099</span></a></p>
AustinGorton<p>Card 2-2099: Vulture 2099</p><p>Like the main cards, this insert set combines to make one larger image, though the red foil effect limits the detail of the background.</p><p>Vulture 2099 is a cannibal? That&#39;s a solid DYK fact. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TradingCardADay" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TradingCardADay</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MU4" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MU4</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Marvel2099" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Marvel2099</span></a></p>
AustinGorton<p>Card 1-2099: Doom 2099</p><p>The insert subset for this series features an assortment of the Marvel 2099 characters on a red foil background.</p><p>Always love a DYk fact that is a question. </p><p>Scans via TradingCardDb.com<br /><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TradingCardADay" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TradingCardADay</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MU4" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MU4</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Marvel2099" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Marvel2099</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/DoctorDoom" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DoctorDoom</span></a></p>
AustinGorton<p>Card 180: Checklist</p><p>In retrospect, I have to admit the &quot;each card is 1/9 of a larger image&quot; gimmick worked better for me going through them here than ever before. But I still don&#39;t LOVE it.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TradingCardADay" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TradingCardADay</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MU4" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MU4</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Checklist" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Checklist</span></a></p>
AustinGorton<p>Card 179: Hulk vs. X-Factor</p><p>Another very recent &quot;famous&quot; battle, but overall a solid card. The Hulk pile-on is good, as is Guido gettting socked in the jaw. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TradingCardADay" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TradingCardADay</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MU4" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MU4</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/FamousBattles" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FamousBattles</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Hulk" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Hulk</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/XFactor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>XFactor</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/XMen" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>XMen</span></a>📷</p>
AustinGorton<p>Card 177: Wolverine vs Omega Red</p><p>I (genuinely) love that the effect of Wolverine slashing Omega Red in the face is rendered as the old &quot;ptooey! [boxer takes a hit and spits out a tooth]&quot; routine. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TradingCardADay" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TradingCardADay</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MU4" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MU4</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/FamousBattles" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FamousBattles</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Wolverine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Wolverine</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/OmegaRed" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OmegaRed</span></a></p>
AustinGorton<p>Card 176: Punisher vs Ghost Rider</p><p>One of the bigger failings of this subset is the sheer number of battles pulled from otherwise-random early 90s stories. It&#39;s ultimately more like &quot;Contemporary Battles.&quot;</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TradingCardADay" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TradingCardADay</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MU4" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MU4</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/FamousBattles" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FamousBattles</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Punisher" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Punisher</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/GhostRider" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GhostRider</span></a></p>
AustinGorton<p>Card 175: Spider-Man vs Cardiac</p><p>Cardiac&#39;s glow up continues, as he gets on the last Spider-Man-centric Famous Battle card, edging out many classic Rogues (though at least some got covered via the Sinister Six battle).</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TradingCardADay" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TradingCardADay</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MU4" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MU4</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/FamousBattles" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FamousBattles</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SpiderMan" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SpiderMan</span></a></p>
AustinGorton<p>Card 174: Fantastic Four vs Secret Defenders</p><p>Really feels like, in the spirit of the previous card, this should be &quot;Fantastic Four vs the New Fantastic Four&quot;, since that&#39;s clearly what this Secret Defenders lineup references.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TradingCardADay" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TradingCardADay</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MU4" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MU4</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/FamousBattles" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FamousBattles</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/FantasticFour" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FantasticFour</span></a></p>
