Lost and Found: Panels!

Digging in some more boxes, and found some cards! I knew I had some of these, but no idea where...but some were a complete surprise to me, in that I didn't ever remember them existing!











That's 7 SI for Kids panels, 4 Marvel panels and 1 TV & Movie panel. Of these I remembered some of the the SI for Kids panels but not all of them- there's one more I've held back for a future post- the all-Jordan page is from a publication called Sports Illustrated for Kids Extra, a title I had absolutely no memory of whatsoever.

I did not remember having a panel for 1994 Marvel Universe, probably my all-time favorite comic set, and without question my all-time favorite Marvel set. I'm six cards short of completing it- I need to hunt them down.

Back in the day I separated most of the SI For Kids cards, damaging them more often than not. I'm glad I didn't do all of them. These were all still in the magazines except for the top one, which I found a second copy of still in the magazine. I also found another duplicate and a duplicate copy of the Jordan card issue. Not sure how I got duplicates as I had a subscription, which I let lapse in 2000.

I only have vague memories of Reboot but I remember it being pretty good.

    That 94 Marvel Universe set was awesome, and the Masterpieces set by the Hildebrandts absolutely rips. I used to have some of those.

      I have a few of them too. Not as easy to find as the Universe set though, most of mine came from the grocery store.

      I had to go back and find that image, I wrote this post up back in May or so. Dynamic photo for sure.

    Yeah, the Reboot sparked a vague memory for me too. A bit after my time though.
    Will trade you for one of the MJ baseball ones...

    Pretty cool. I've haven't seen any of those except for one which I also have (Fleer Ultra 94). Good stuff.

    This is so awesome. Makes me want to finally get around to rescanning the folder full of the comic card panel/sell sheet things & mini comics that came with Wizard magazines back in that my dad gave me like five years ago & maybe unretire from blogging long enough to do a series of posts on them.

    Also, the later seasons of ReBoot were legitimately great. I wonder if they still hold up.
