Marvel Masterpieces Jubilee Appraisal

1992 SkyBox Marvel Masterpieces Jubilee Trading Card

This is a 1992 Marvel Masterpieces trading card featuring the character Jubilee (Jubilation Lee), illustrated by artist Joe Jusko for SkyBox International. The card displays a dynamic full-bleed artistic style typical of the early 1990s comic book boom. The character is depicted in her signature yellow trench coat with pink sunglasses and blue hair, running over trash cans against a dark industrial background. The artwork is framed by a distinctive green border with a graphic 'X' motif integrated into the background shape. The character name 'Jubilee' and the TM symbol are printed in gold-tone lettering at the bottom. Physically, the card appears to be standard size (2.5 by 3.5 inches) with a glossy UV coating. Regarding condition, the card is currently stored in a protective plastic binder sleeve, which has preserved much of its original luster. Observable condition notes include white light glare from the plastic sleeve and a visible horizontal line or scratch across the upper third of the card surface, which may be on the sleeve itself or the card face. Points of interest for collectors include the specific painterly aesthetic of this set, which was the first of its kind to feature fully painted artwork for every card, a trend that defined the premium trading card market of that era.
