2023 Allegiance AVX Comic Covers CC12 Avengers vs X-Men 9 Spider-Man B&W PSA 9
A PSA 9 Black & White version of the Comic Covers insert from 2023 Upper Deck Allegiance Avengers vs X-Men. This card was never inserted in packs. It’s an Upper Deck e-Pack achievement exclusive that collectors could only earn by combining ten digital cards and having the physical card shipped to them, so far fewer exist than the standard insert. It recreates Jim Cheung’s cover for Avengers vs X-Men (2012) #9, with a battered Spider-Man, his suit torn, crouching through swirling smoke and flames. The black and white artwork is printed on rainbow foilboard, so the whole card has a rainbow sheen when it catches the light. The back recaps the issue: Spider-Man tricked Magik and Colossus into attacking each other, causing the siblings to lose the Phoenix Force, while Cyclops traveled to K’un-Lun to tell Hope Summers it was time to come home. It also credits the creative team: Cheung, a Marvel artist since the mid-1990s, Justin Ponsor, who became an exclusive Marvel colorist in 2004, and Mark Morales, whose first ink project for Marvel was X-Force in 1995. A great pickup for Spider-Man collectors, Avengers vs X-Men fans and Allegiance set builders.
Pull Odds: Not available in packs; earned only through an Upper Deck e-Pack achievement by combining ten digital cards. (The standard Comic Covers insert is 1:5 hobby.)
A PSA Mint 9 is a superb condition card that exhibits only one of the following minor flaws: a very slight wax stain on reverse, a minor printing imperfection or slightly off-white borders. Centering must be approximately 60/40 to 65/35 or better on the front and 90/10 or better on the reverse.
