2015 Upper Deck Fleer Retro Marvel — 1982 Fleer design insert #12 Venom — PSA 9 MINT
The Venom from the 1982-design insert set, the card most collectors think of first when Fleer Retro comes up. Venom is dropped into the classic 1982 Fleer baseball frame, printed on grey cardboard stock with an old-school stat back that lists him as “None • Former Newspaper Staff.” This copy is a PSA 9 MINT.
About the set
Fleer Retro Marvel, released by Upper Deck in July 2015, is the set that reissued the great 1990s card designs with new art: 1994 Flair, 1993 SkyBox Marvel Universe, 1990 Impel, 1995 Marvel Metal, plus two much older Fleer baseball designs from 1960 and 1982. Five cards to a pack, twenty packs to a box, with a sketch card, a Precious Metal Gems parallel and about three autographs in every box.
The retro inserts are not equal. The Flair, SkyBox and Impel designs fall every few packs, while the 1982 Fleer and 1960 Fleer designs, printed on grey cardboard stock with baseball-style stat backs, are seeded at about one in forty packs, one every two boxes. The autographs work the same way: base-design autographs come about one in seven packs, but the autographs on the 1993 SkyBox design are closer to one in forty-four.
