1992 Marvel Masterpieces Storm (Series 1) Trading Card

This is a collectible trading card featuring the Marvel character Storm (Ororo Munroe), identified as part of the 1992 Marvel Masterpieces series illustrated by renowned artist Joe Jusko. The physical card measures approximately 2.5 by 3.5 inches and is constructed from premium heavyweight cardstock with a glossy finish. The illustration showcases Storm in a characteristic 1990s aesthetic, featuring her iconic white flowing hair, a blue and gold costume, and an action pose set against a purple cosmic background with white speckling to simulate stars. The artwork is framed by a thin black and gold border, all set within a thick, vibrant red outer border which is indicative of this specific set's design. The craftsmanship reflects the high production standards of the early 1990s 'card boom,' moving away from traditional matte sports cards toward 'fine art' style illustration. This card is currently housed in a clear protective plastic sleeve (top loader) or binder page. Condition-wise, while the image through the plastic appears sharp with vibrant colors, there is a visible glare on the surface from the lighting. The centering appears slightly shifted toward the top-left, and the edges of the red border show very minor white flecks or 'chipping' common for Marvel Masterpieces cards of this era. There are no obvious signs of creases, water damage, or significant corner blunting from this angle. The card represents a peak period for Marvel Comics and trading card collecting, making it a staple of 20th-century pop culture memorabilia.
