1992 SkyBox Marvel Universe Series 3 Wolverine Trading Card #2

This is a vintage 1992 Marvel Universe Series 3 trading card featuring the X-Men character Wolverine. The card is manufactured by SkyBox and features dynamic artwork by Marc Silvestri, evidenced by his signature and the '92 date within the art frame. Physically, the card presents a standard 2.5 by 3.5 inch trading card dimension, printed on a semigloss cardstock. The design showcases a central illustrated action pose of Wolverine with adamantium claws extended, set against a colorful cosmic and terrestrial background with a dark blue border framing the inner art. The 'Super Heroes' branding is visible at the top right, while the bottom left features the 'WOLVERINE' character name in a bold, italicized white font. A 'MARVEL 1992' logo is printed in the bottom right corner. The card appears to be housed in a clear plastic protective binder page. Notable condition observations include reasonably sharp corners, though a slight white 'chipping' or edge wear is visible along the right vertical edge, which is common for this high-gloss dark border series. No major creases or surface scratches are immediately apparent through the sleeve, though the centering appears slightly biased towards the bottom. The rich color saturation and the absence of significant fading suggest it has been kept away from direct light.
