Ant Man 65 Appraisal

1991 Impel Marvel Universe Series 2 Ant-Man Trading Card #65

This is a vintage trading card featuring the Marvel character Ant-Man (Scott Lang), released by Impel Marketing in 1991 as part of the Marvel Universe Series 2 set. The card measures standard trading card size (2.5 by 3.5 inches) and is constructed from cardstock with a glossy finish. The front artwork, credited to artists Paul Ryan and Joe Rubinstein (marked as 'Ryan + Austin' in the art), depicts a dynamic action pose of Ant-Man at a miniature scale, standing on a Number 2 pencil in front of an electrical wall outlet. The design features a dark red top border with the 'SUPER HEROES' designation and an orange frame surrounding the central comic art. Notable features include the character's classic silver cybernetic helmet and red-and-black suit. Regarding condition, the card appears to be housed in a protective plastic slab or top-loader, which suggests collector intent. Visible condition indicators show sharp corners and decent centering, though minor surface scuffing and white edge wear are common for this type of card. The craftsmanship is typical of the early 1990s 'junk wax' era of trading cards, characterized by vibrant offset lithography printing.
