The format is approximately 5 inches by 7 inches. This RARE advertising card is printed in color on both sides. This advertisement, on the front side, promotes Marvel Masterpieces, collectible cards that were produced by Fleer Corp. The cards became available in November, 1995. The Fleer products included E-Motion Signature Series (a 150-card mirror set), Canvas, HoloFlash, and two 'super-rare' Mirage cards. On the other side are four different card images of Wolverine. . The 1995 and 1996 Masterpieces sets had smaller print runs than the previous years. The Fleer Corporation was the first company to successfully manufacture bubble gum. In 1928, Fleer employee Walter Diemer improved the Blibber-Blubber formulation to produce the first commercially successful bubble gum, Dubble Bubble. Fleer became known as a maker of sports cards, starting in 1923 with the production of baseball cards. Fleer also produced non-sports collectible cards. Marvel Masterpieces is the name of several subsequent sets of trading cards, printed during 1992–2008, depicting characters and events from Marvel Comics. Featuring large, vividly drawn card fronts and backs detailing trivia, each card showcased a different personality from Marvel's body of work. There was also a set of pop-up cards, distributed in sets of six with the Marvel Activity Sets. They measured about 1+1 4 by 1+1 2 inches. The first set, which came out in 1992, consisted entirely of portraits painted by Joe Jusko and was published by Skybox. The set included 100 standard cards, and 5 "Battle" Spectra Cards. There was a factory-tin set of the cards which also contained 5 "Lost Marvel" cards that could only be found in those tins. There were 6 promo cards and 3 pre-production prototype cards too, which were only available to dealers and/or available as free with Wizard magazine (#13 Psylocke) and comics books (Marvel Age #118 Hulk) etc. Series 4 – 1995: This set consisted of 150 standard cards, 22 "Canvas" cards, 8 "Holoflash" cards, and 2 "Mirage" cards. Artwork for the set was done by four artists: Dave Devries, Dimitrios Patelis, Peter Scanlan and Nelson. Each artist painted 38 different characters that the other artists also painted plus 9 unique characters that were only painted once. Continuing from the previous set, these cards came with parallel cards this time in the form of "E-Motion" signatures. The two mirage cards are rare, coming one to every 360 packs depending on the ratio. They are highly sought after. These boxes have increased highly in value and are very much sought by collectors as the 1996 Marvel masterpieces boxes. Since both years have limited print run the 1995 and 1996 are by far the rarest of the Marvel boxes to date. Single sheet, printed on both sides Presumed one of a limited number of promotional cards.…
