Phoenix Marvel Universe Series 3 Trading Card (1992)

This is a vintage trading card featuring the Marvel character Phoenix (Rachel Summers), part of the Marvel Universe Series 3 set released by SkyBox International in 1992. The card features an illustration of Phoenix erupting in a fiery display of the Phoenix Force against a cosmic black and red background. It is a standard 2.5 by 3.5-inch cardstock item with a glossy finish on the front. The top-left corner displays the 'Super Heroes' branding, while the bottom-left shows the 'Marvel 1992' copyright. The character name 'PHOENIX' is printed in a stylized silver or white italicized font in the bottom-right corner. The art displays high-energy comic book style from the early 1990s, characterized by vibrant oranges, reds, and yellows. The card appears to be housed in a protective plastic sleeve or binder leaf. Condition-wise, it shows sharp corners and clean edges, though there is a noticeable glare or surface reflection on the left side of the glossy coating. This set is a hallmark of the 1990s comic book trading card boom, known for featuring artwork by top industry professionals and detailed biographical data on the reverse (not visible here).
