2013 Upper Deck Marvel Now takes an up-to-date look and the comics and characters that were around at the time. And this being 2013, that means a generous amount of cover variants on the checklist as well as autographs, sketch cards and other inserts.
Hobby boxes have at least one autograph plus two from another autograph, a sketch card, low-numbered parallel, printing plate or hologram.
2013 Upper Deck Marvel Now Checklist Details
All together, the 2013 Upper Deck Marvel Now base set has 150 cards. However, it’s broken down into three distinct sections that make it something of a challenge. The first 100 cards make up the shell set. They’re all character-driven showcasing their modern interpretations. Cutting Edge Covers, which land one per pack, are up next. All 28 of these highlight #1 issues that landed under the “Marvel Now” banner. Finally, there are 22 High Numbers that have more characters. The catch here is that there’s only one of these per hobby box.
Parallels for the first 100 cards come in two levels, Foil (one per pack) and Red Foil, which are hand-numbered to 10 on the front. All 150 cards also get the Printing Plates treatment.
Autographs and Other Inserts
A large part of the shell set and Cutting Edge Covers have autograph versions signed by the comics’ creators. This includes a handful of multi-signature cards as well.
Adding another layer to the Cutting Edge Covers are Variants inserts that include some of the chase and incentive covers. With most having multiple variants, this set has 100 cards. Printing Plates and autographs are available for these as well.
Over 70 artists have sketch cards in 2013 Upper Deck Marvel Now. These come in two forms. First are standard sketch cards that have the Marvel Now logo at the bottom. There are also Blank Cover Variants that take on the layout of a comic and have a related character.
Holo FX Holograms rank among the most valuable cards in the product. Coming in at 42 cards, finding individual copies can be fairly tough as they’ve largely dried up in the years since the set came out.
There’s also a ten-card Then and Now set that shows characters as they used to be and how they were in 2013. These have more Printing Plates as well as Dual Autographs that pair a current creator’s signature with one from Marvel icon, Stan Lee.
Although the set came out in late January, 2014, cards are all marked with a 2013 copyright.
