The first-ever AEW Skybox Metal Universe product delivers an impressive lineup of iconic cards to AEW fans and collectors in general. The list includes, but is not limited to, 1997-98 Retros, Jambalaya, PMG and Skybox Premium cards.
The base set, which features the biggest names in AEW today, consists of 100 regular cards and 50 SP’s (the best-of-the-best). Collect one Base Set SP card from every pack, on average! There are a variety of compelling parallels: Red PMG (#’d to 100 – 11-100), Green PMG (#’d to 100 – 1-10) and Gold PMG (#’d 1-of-1) parallels of the complete base set, and Silver Auto, Green Auto (#’d to 10) and Gold Auto (#’d 1-of-1) parallels of the regular cards. Also keep an eye out for Printing Plates from the complete base set.
The 1997-98 Retros set features 50 AEW stars on the classic 1997-98 Metal Universe design. Each wrestler’s card sports a unique space-themed background. Collect three cards from this set from every box (on average)! There are also Purple Spectrum (#’d to 199) and Red, Green and Gold PMG (same #’ing as the base set PMG’s) parallels, as well as Printing Plates, that will be a welcome addition to any collection.
Collect, on average, three cards per box from the Skybox Premium set, another old-school classic. Look for Star Rubies (#’d to 50), Star Emeralds (#’d to 10), Star Emeralds Auto (#’d to 10) and Star Diamonds (#’d 1-of-1) parallels, as well as Printing Plates!
Everyone will be chasing after super-rare Jambalaya cards featuring the most popular wrestlers on the AEW roster!
Not only does the inaugural AEW Skybox Metal Universe release host PMG’s and multiple iconic inserts, it also hosts plenty of all-new and AEW-specific inserts! Here is a rundown:
Bonzo Gonzo: A three-sided die-cut set which captures chaotic moments in (and maybe out!) of the ring.
Feeling the Love: This set captures moments in which wrestlers and fans are engaging each other.
Technicians: Each card features a wrestler performing one of his or her signature moves.
The Merch: A four-sided die-cut set mimicking wrestler-worn and branded t-shirts.
Turn Up the Heat: Each card features a popped-out wrestler posing or flexing, typically prior to entering the ring.
There is a Gold parallel of all five sets #’d to just 25, as well as an Auto parallel of the Feeling the Love and Turn Up the Heat sets!
Collect two different acetate insert sets: Palladium (popular wrestlers) and Hardware (wrestlers that have won one or more belts). Look for Gold Spectrum parallels of each set, both #’d to 25!
Keep an eye out for Metal-X cards! These rare hits, printed on Rainbow Foilboard with a PETG top layer and Spectrum Deco Foil, and featuring wrestlers cherished by fans around the world, will be a valuable addition to any collection!
