 Today on the show, we're going to be taking a look at the vintage wildstorm spawn long-form trading cards from the 1990s. So stay tuned. Today on the show, we're taking a look at the 1995 wildstorm spawn extra-long trading cards. These were the first cards of their kind that I ever saw. I do have the entire 150 cards set here. Very nice. I used to have the majority of them back in the day, but of course over moving several times like the rest of my collections they came up missing or left behind. So I did buy these off Amazon a couple months ago and I decided to wait until the month of October to do a video on them. Since spawn is kind of a horror character, I felt it fitting to wait until the month of Halloween. So anyway here we have spawn and each one of these cards is actually a scene taken directly from the earlier comics. So here we have spawn number one. He remembers a little. A man he hates. A career for the government both proud and shameful and a woman he loved more than life itself. For the sake of her love, he came back. He struck a deal with Malibuja bartering his soul for one more chance, but why was the Lord of Darkness laughing? Now Al Simmons doesn't know who he was. Now he is only spawn. Part by Bill Sankiewicz. These do not fit in normal three-by-three pouches for training cards. You actually need a three-by-two card divider. You can fit six cards per page on them. Beware my foes. Number two. Memories whirl like dead leaves in the cold air unworned by the frosty blue moon above. In the night the red and black figure brews. His quest for vengeance is a hunger he must feed. He must know. He will find the man who framed him. The man who murdered him and they will pay. He has the power and the will to use it. Part by Trevor Scott. Here we have Sam and tWitch. I'll just I'll let you guys read each one. I'm not gonna go through and read each one. Very nice. I like that scene. Very cool image of spawn there. I may kind of go through these a little quickly. So if you want to read the backs feel free to pause. I am the valet a girly man. Always really like that image too. The card was probably one of my favorites. Another really nice looking card. As I said each one of these cards are scenes taken directly from the comics. I think when I originally bought these back in the 90s I think I bought them at Kmart. Bond getting his heart ripped out by the violator. I know trading cards aren't really worth anything anymore but they're still cool to collect. I definitely want to reobtain all my old trading cards I had as a kid. I had some Spider-Man trading cards, X-Men, tons of X-Men trading cards. In fact the X-Men trading cards were the ones I had the majority of. All the different lines. Jim Lee's X-Men line, Flare, Flare Ultra, 91, 92, 93. I do plan on reobtaining all those different lines at some point in the future. Just you know not really to ever resell the value or whatever. But simply for the nostalgia. I always love trading cards and we don't really get trading cards nowadays. I think they kind of went out of style. I guess now you get all those game cards like Yu-Gi-Oh! and Pokemon and stuff like that. These these trading cards were far more fun to collect for me than anything Pokemon or anything like that. This is really how I learned everything the majority of what I know of comics is through trading cards because back then if you went to a comic book shop the guy at Hobby Horse here in town he liked to rip people off royally he just really overpriced comics even new comics he really overpriced and it was very disheartening. The only place you could really get comics was at like Kroger or the pharmacy or something like that. But most stores don't really carry comic books anymore. So it's really disappointing or maybe about a quarter of the way through guys. Boys screamed and girls screamed so I made him scream and scream and scream! Now when I originally collected these I did not have all the entire set but I did have maybe three quarters of the set. So a lot of these I'm actually seeing for the first time. Even though I just I did kind of go through them when I bought them I didn't actually really look at them like I am now. This image here was also another one of my favorite favorite images on these cards. Just the spawn looks extremely epic right there. He's ready for battle. Todd McFarlane got in a lot of trouble over the creation of this guy. Mob boss Tony Twistelli named after a hockey player. Another epic image destroying Overkill. The Soul Trapper Reborn Billy Kincaid finds himself trapped in a ghastly afterlife. To survive he bands together with a batch of fellow new arrivals. One of them is promptly taken by a Soul Trapper. A mechanistic thing from the sixth sphere not to exist in glory but rather to be a pet. This year it's singers. Little Jessica explains last year it was acrobats. Be on the lookout for these award-winning Todd Toys action figures. In stores now and later this year. Spawn action figures. Fall 1995. Six action figures. Spawn 2. Cosmic Angela. Redeemer. Ninja spawn. Violated 2. Curse and vaporizer. Spring 1995. Six action figures. Commando spawn. Pilot spawn. Malibuja. Chapel. Bad Rock and Angela. Fall 1994. Six action figures. Spawn medieval spawn. Violator. Trimmer. Clown and Overkill. Two vehicles. Spawn mobile. Violator monster rig. One place that spawn alley. Then you got the young blood action figures and wet works action figures. Love how each card has the issue in which the scene comes from. Another very epic image. Medieval spawn. Really liked this card. And yes for those of you who don't know that is Marvel Comics Angela. She actually debuted in spawn. It was spawn number nine. During the medieval spawn story arc. Created by Chuck Gibson I believe. He and Todd had kind of a falling out. Todd tried to claim that he owned the rights to Angela. Even though image had a thing where creators owned their own work. And Angela was eventually sold to Marvel Comics. Where she became the sister of Thor. Yeah Todd McFarlane was kind of a dick about it too. About Angela. Because he claimed that because she was a part of spawn comics. That he owned her rights. But Chuck had it in his contract. And in all image comics. Created contracts that they owned their own creations. Because that's why image comics was created in the first place. So anytime Angela appeared in comics. Chuck didn't receive any royalties from it. He never even received the royalties from the action figures or anything. So when he confronted Todd about it. Todd told him. That he would get compensated. But then turned around and sent him a letter or something. Saying that since Angela is part of spawn comics. That he owns the rights to Angela. And so there's this huge illegal battle. Which Chuck eventually won. Which is why in the collected editions. Spawn number nine is not included. Starting to get a little bit tired guys. This is taking a little bit longer than I thought. Really like the artwork on these cards. They picked some really nice scenes to showcase. Didn't realize there was a dull one there. Oh that's why. Missing cards. It's kind of disappointing that I thought I had a full set. Complete set. And I just went through my eBay and Amazon. I can't remember which account I bought it off of. I think it might be on my other account on eBay. That's it. Takes place right after Frank Miller's Batman spawn. Graphic. They like the shoelace face look. So they incorporated it into spawns standard timeline. The Batman spawn comic takes place in the Miller verse. Not in the regular spawn universe. So what they did is they made it to where this happened to them. Because of Houdini. So there you have it guys. The 1995 Wildstorm spawn trading cards. Just to show you the size difference between these spawn trading cards and a normal trading card. Here's a normal trading card compared to Wildstorm spawn. Quite a difference. Hope you guys enjoyed this video. Have a happy October and a safe Halloween. I'm Shannon for Comic-EnTV. The only place on YouTube where all geek culture collides. Take care. Quick update guys. I sent a message to the eBay seller regarding the spawn cards and the missing card. And he did send me one. Number 111. I had doubles of number 110. So he did send me the number 111. But just to show you guys. Let me go ahead and. I purchased it off of or from M hop on hop on eBay. Very good customer service. Very pleased that even though I purchased this set back in June. He was still willing to send me the number 111. Since I had a duplicate of number 110. And what's cool is he sent it in this little plastic case.
