1992 Impel Marvel Universe Series 3 Shatterstar Trading Card #71

This is a vintage 1992 Marvel Universe Series 3 trading card manufactured by Impel, featuring the character Shatterstar. The card depicts a dynamic action pose of the character leaping forward with dual swords, illustrated in the signature comic style of the early 1990s. The artwork characterizes Shatterstar with his orange ponytail, white suit, and metallic armor plating. Physically, the card is standard trading card size (2.5 by 3.5 inches) made of cardstock with a semi-gloss finish. The design includes a 'SUPER HEROES' banner in a red circle at the top left and the character name 'SHATTERSTAR' in white bold text at the bottom right. A 'MARVEL 1992' logo is printed in the bottom left corner. The background features a vertical rectangular frame against a deep red and orange gradient. Regarding condition, the card is currently housed in a plastic protective sleeve, which has preserved many of its features; however, visible whitening and soft wear are present on the upper left corner and edges. The centering appears slightly shifted toward the top left. The colors remain vibrant with no significant fading or surface scratches visible through the protector. This card is part of a highly collected 200-card base set widely recognized for featuring Ron Lim artwork on the back and various artists on the front, representing the peak of the 90s comic card boom.
