1992 SkyBox Doomsday: The Death of Superman Checklist, Trading Cards Info

Ad

1992 SkyBox Doomsday: The Death of Superman takes the blockbuster comic event and bring it over to trading cards. And while there are some chase cards, the trend was still in its early phases. That means a full set that’s both relatively easy and affordable to complete for all of the main parts.

1992 SkyBox Doomsday: The Death of Superman Checklist Overview

The base set makes up the bulk of the release. It totals 100 cards but there are a couple of different parts. The main set covers 90 cards. That’s followed by a nine-card Funeral for a Friend subset that’s numbered C1-C9. Despite the change, they are considered part of the base set. It’s the same for the checklist (#CL01).

Regular cards transfer the “Death of Superman” storyline over to the trading card medium. Fronts take art from the books with backs offering a recap. Essentially, this set gives collectors a choice to work through several comics or flip through a set of cards.

Funeral for a Friend cards change things up a little bit. Most have other members of the DC Universe mourning Superman’s passing on the front. The backs for all nine cards go together to form a puzzle.

The puzzle theme carries over to one of the product’s two insert sets. Two Bleeding S Puzzle cards go together to form the grim adaptation of Superman’s iconic logo. This set might be small, but with 1:36 pack odds, they aren’t the easiest pulls when going one pack at a time.

A Memorial Tribute (1:18 packs) takes four major moments from the story and give them the etched Spectra Foil treatment.

Like the comics they’re based on, 1992 SkyBox Doomsday: The Death of Superman received a generous print run. So much so that boxes, sets and singles are not tough to find today. This has also kept prices in check, even as people start to look at Superman’s first demise with a little more nostalgia.
