1990 Impel Marvel Universe Series 1 Silver Surfer Trading Card #33

This is a 1990 Marvel Universe trading card produced by Impel, featuring the character Silver Surfer. The card depicts a dynamic illustration of the Surfer on his board, set against a cosmic backdrop with a distinctive pink celestial energy orb in the upper right. The character is rendered in a highly reflective metallic aesthetic consistent with the art style of the late Bronze Age/Early Modern Age of comics. The card front features the 'Super Heroes' series branding at the top left and the character name 'SILVER SURFER' at the bottom right. The card is printed on standard cardstock, typically measuring 2.5 by 3.5 inches. Condition-wise, the image shows visible softening and chipping along the right-hand edge and some corner wear, which often occurs with these dark-bordered cards from the early 1990s. The centering appears slightly shifted toward the top right. High-quality production values for the period are evident in the vibrant color saturation and the clean integration of the Marvel Comics logo at the bottom left. This specific set is considered a landmark in the hobby as it was the first comprehensive mainstream set of Marvel trading cards.
