Going to Comic Con International this week? Mark Abent from MNS Cards has checked-in to give us the lowdown on his company’s offerings.
First of all, let’s talk promos. MNS Cards (found at booth #5616) will be giving away four different promo cards for The Art of Robert Aragon: promo #6 (Thursday) through promo #9 (Sunday). Just in case you are wondering what happened to numbers 1 through 5, here’s the story. Cards #1 through #4 were released two years ago at Comic Con. Card #5 was found exclusively in the Oct/Nov ’13 issue of Non-Sport Update. Abent tells us the nine cards will make a complete promo set.
Here’s what you’ll find on promo cards #6 through #9:
- Promo 6 – Colin Clive as Dr. Victor Frankenstein (given away Thursday, July 24th)
- Promo 7 – Boris Karloff as Frankenstein’s Monster (given away Friday, July 25th)
- Promo 8 – Death Moth (given away Saturday, July 26th)
- Promo 9 – Lon Chaney, Sr. as the Phantom of the Opera (given away Sunday, July 27th)
Moving on to an item that needs a bit of explaining….MNS Cards will market The Art of Robert Aragon Comic Con Convention Packs 2014 at $40 each. Each pack is numbered (up to 1,500) and MNS has already started marketing the packs to dealers. Some 1,300 packs remained as of the end of last week. Each pack contains 15 cards including some which are brand new to this offering.
Here’s a run down of what will be inside the packs:

Each pack will contain two to three of the following inserts:
- Autograph cards including four which are new and exclusive to the Convention Packs including a double autograph cards from Children of Frankenstein
