1990 Impel Marvel Universe Series 1 - Nomad #14 (Rookies)

This is a vintage trading card from the highly significant 1990 Marvel Universe Series 1, produced by Impel. The card features the character Jack Monroe as Nomad, depicted in an illustratory style characteristic of the era's bronze-to-modern age transition. The card is printed on standard semi-gloss cardstock with a white outer border surrounding an orange inner frame. The character is positioned on a rooftop against a nighttime cityscape with a purple sky, wielding a shotgun and wearing his signature tactical vest with gold circular accents and a large 'N' belt buckle. A green 'ROOKIES' banner sits at the top, accompanied by a yellow '1990' starburst, while a yellow swoosh at the bottom identifies the character as 'NOMAD™'. The card exhibits moderate centering with a slight left-to-right bias on the front. Some minor white chipping or 'touch-of-white' is visible on the corners, which is common for this high-ink surface set. There is a noticeable glare on the center-left edge, likely originating from the protective plastic sleeve rather than the card surface itself. This set is historically important as the first comprehensive trading card series for the Marvel Universe, featuring artwork frequently attributed to various Marvel staff artists of the period. The card appears to be in an aftermarket protective top-loader or semi-rigid sleeve, suggesting it has been handled as a collectible.
