1993 SkyBox Marvel Universe Series 4 Carnage Trading Card #38

This is a vintage 1993 SkyBox Marvel Universe Series 4 trading card featuring the character Carnage. The card is a standard 2.5 by 3.5-inch size, printed on gloss-coated cardstock. The artwork depicts the Spider-Man antagonist jumping forward against a vibrant orange and yellow circular 'burst' background, which is set against a dark purple, space-themed border containing stylized stars. The top right corner includes the sub-series heading 'SUPER-VILLIANS™' in white sans-serif capital letters. The bottom left features the character name 'CARNAGE™' in a bold, italicized white font. The bottom right displays the Marvel and SkyBox logos. The illustration style is characteristic of the early 1990s comic book aesthetic, with heavy black linework and dramatic musculature. In terms of condition, the card appears to be housed in a plastic protective sleeve. Visible inspection through the sleeve shows relatively sharp corners with very minor whitening or softening on the edges. The surface gloss seems well-preserved without significant scratching or fading. The centering appears slightly shifted to the left, which is a common manufacturing variance for this era of production. This specific set is iconic among collectors for its Mark Bagley artwork and its role in the 1990s trading card boom.
