1995 Fleer Marvel Masterpieces changes up its formula once again. High-end art is still the focal point, but its approach is a little different compared to previous years. The set also introduces one of the most coveted insert sets in the history of Marvel trading cards.
1995 Fleer Marvel Masterpieces Checklist Details
The base set consists of 151 cards, all of which except the checklist come with original paintings. The 1992 and 1994 Marvel Masterpieces sets handed the reigns over to individuals. 1993 used art from a lot of different artists. 1995 heads for the middle ground with four contributors: Dave DeVries, Nelson, Dimitri Patelis and Peter Scanlan. For the first 114 cards, select characters each get three different cards done by three of the four featured artists. This allows for three different styles and approaches when looking at the same hero or villain. One could say it’s a Venn Diagram-worthy approach open to comparing and contrasting the various looks.
The back third of the base set is titled Artist Picks with remaining characters appearing on only one card, although still by one of the artist quartet.
E-Motion Signature Series parallels are one per pack and cover all of the base set except for the checklist. These maintain the same art and general layout, however there are a couple of additions. For starters, there’s a facsimile foil signature by the featured artist. More noticeable is the foil “emotion” running up the side. These add an action or trait connected to the character. The idea spins out from the SkyBox Emotion sports card sets releasing around the same time that used adjectives to get to players’ personalities more.
Additional Inserts
1995 Fleer Marvel Masterpieces has three additional insert sets — that that appear in packs with some regularity and one that’s downright scarce.
Canvas takes the art focus of Materpieces to another level. These cards have similar art as the base set but rather than being printed on glossy stock, it’s more canvas like. The set has 22 cards with one appearing every other pack.
Holoflash (eight cards, 1:12 packs) are notable for their foil accents.
Finally, there’s Mirage. The checklist includes just two cards but they’re a ridiculously tough 1:360 packs. These rank among the toughest Marvel inserts to pull and command big prices on the secondary market. Mirage cards use lenticular technology to rotate through four different images when tilted.
1995 Fleer Marvel Masterpieces is held on a pedestal today, and for good reason. But at the time, trading cards were entering a lull period and the Masterpieces line was starting to show signs of fatigue. As a result, this set is noticeably tougher to find (and more valuable) that the three previous releases.
