Superman grabbing two guns and a headband right after he said "Some people say I'm the world's biggest boyscout. Well, you know the scout motto. 'Be prepared" is still the most cringeworthy line in comics. I get that they were trying to say that in the last part of that saga he's the real Superman because he's willingly to risk his life with none of his incredible powers, but it doesn't make it any less silly or excessive. @Kid Nicky: While that may be true, they did it in the most hamfisted way possible.

I would hope anyone who read the Death/Return of Superman would realise it was about how superheroes SHOULD still be role models.

I have heard stories doing the same thing with YuGiOh packs but I always thought the stories where bogus. One night out of boredom we weighed a bunch of packs with postal scale and found no difference between the non-foil ones and the foil ones. De thanks.

The Mullet is such an ’80s thing to me. No amount of Super Leg Pouches will change that." My 1993 high school yearbook disagrees with your carbon-dating of the Mullet. Also, note that "Big 80s hair" did not immediately disappear in 1990, either. “I remain surprised that Super-Mullet existed in the ’90s. The Mullet is such an ’80s thing to me.

For subsequent sets, you could still find them but you had to have access to a sensitive scale (like an expensive postal scale) and a lot of patience.

Man Jim and Whilce are what got me into comics big time! Up until then I'd just been a casual reader who grabbed stuff that looked cool, IF, I happened to be passing by it... I still have the card set, although these days I am missing 2 of the hologram cardfs and I never found an autograph card. I feel kinda sorry for you Mike, for some reason (and i know that makes no sense as everyone has different interests) You didn’t like Jim Lee’s X-Men??!!

I still have my DC cards and Valiant cards. I do need to figure out way to display them. There of my fondest memories where I peeled a holo Silver Surfer card in Geppi's Comics (yes the guy who own's Diamond Comics comic book shop) and the clerk gave me the biggest evil eye I have ever seen in my life. It made me feel like I should have never been able to peel any foils from their boxes. I always wondered if shops back then where using metal detectors to scan for holo foils. The second one was the one time someone came by my store to sell the Marvel cards to me and I passed. For the next siz months I found random Marvel trading cards scattered all over the parking lot in front of my store. It was very sureal to walk outside your store and find a card of Paste Pot Pete staring at you and then turn around and see a Fing Fang Foo wih a big hole in it's head stating back at you. My favorite was when I bought a pack of Buffy Trading Cards (okay not comic book releated) and staring back at me was a college buddy of mine who had a small guest role on Buffy. It was kinda of funny to think someone I went to college with is now a trading card. Funniest thing was he had no idea until we mailed him one to have him sign it.
