2015 Fleer Marvel Retro Hobby BoxProduct Rewind: 2015 Fleer Marvel Retro – There is really no denying the fact that Upper Deck has done an excellent job with the Marvel trading card license. From capturing the essence of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with such blockbuster sensations as Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and The Avengers to chronicling the history of Marvel and its plethora of comic characters, Upper Deck has delivered for collectors.

Spring is a busy season on the release schedule for trading card manufacturers and collectors alike. As a result, on occasion, an awesome product can slip through the cracks and minds of collectors. 2015 Fleer Marvel Retro is probably one such property.

Upper Deck has utilized the Fleer brand and its corresponding set names with great success in the sports card market. In an attempt to capitalize on the popularity of such iconic insert sets as Jambalya, Precious Metal Gems, Flair and Metal, Upper Deck has used these themes in a unique fashion by bringing them to the Marvel Comic Universe in Fleer Retro. They are seeded into 2015 Fleer Marvel Retro at the rate of four (4) per hobby box!

Every Box of 2015 Fleer Marvel Retro contains (1) Sketch Card. These original art cards are limited 1-of-1 works of art by some of the comic and trading industry’s top artists. They are the real driver of the product. Some artist’s work has higher demand than others. However, as you can see by some recently realized secondary market prices on eBay, the upside is incredible. Several are on par with some of the most highly sought after autographed rookie cards on the sports side of the hobby.

In addition to the GUARANTEED Sketch Card, Every Box includes (1) Precious Metal Gem parallel card. These numbered cards are also in high demand, particularly the 1/1 Gold cards. An Ironman PMG Gold card sold for $2,500 in July! Here is a look at other recent PMG sales on eBay.

2015 Fleer Marvel Retro pays homage to some classic, old-school Marvel sets with retro designed inserts. Included in the latest version are influences from past Marvel issues including the 1990 & 1992 Marvel Universe sets, the 1994 Marvel Flair set and the 1995 Marvel Metal Blaster set. Collectors will find at least twenty (20) Retro Cards per hobby box! 

There is also plenty of RARE bonus content to be found, as well, including artist autographs, press plates and Hologram cards.

2015 Fleer Marvel Retro is currently selling for about $210 for a Hobby Box, which contains two (2) mini-boxes, each with ten (10) packs and five(5) cards per pack. Upper Deck has been very frugal with the print run of their non-film based Marvel products to insure a long shelf-life and strong resale value.
