Bruh. My buddy and I were buying Impel Marvel series one packs trying to get holograms. I still have a full set somewhere that I pieced together from packs.

I think that Skybox set was the last set I bought a ton of. You can get them by the case still from ebay relatively cheap, and I've been debating buying a box or two for my kids.

I loved completing a full page of them in the binder. Pulling a foil was cool too.

I know I collected these and there were a couple of others as well. The 1994 Fleers spring to mind, Marvel Masterpieces were I think one of them I dug and there was perhaps a Spider-Man set as well. It was a huge racket but those cards were so cool to look at and I loved reading about all of the different characters.

There are a couple of binders somewhere down in my basement. The nerdstalgia urge to find them and take a look is now very strong.

I think I collected a lot of Impel series 1 and 2, a bit of Impel/Skybox series 3, and a lot of Skybox series 4.

The Marvel Masterpieces were pretty sick cards, but they were always too rich for my pockets lol.

IIRC it was the cards that got me into comics in the first place.

I even bought a bunch of the first DC series that came out. You can get a sealed box of those for pretty dirt cheap now.

In a moment of extreme narcissism I actually responded to my own post. Embarrassment.

To think that I was nearly 30 when the Trash 80 came out....

 

But this is the Univac 1218 the Navy trained me how to repair years before the TRS-80:

And this bad boy was about 6' tall and 2' wide and could easily be outperformed by a Texas Instruments TI-85 calculator today.
