X-Men Trading Cards 1991 (Jim Lee Art)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Released in 1991, this Marvel trading card set featured exclusively the art of renowned comic book artist Jim Lee. The set is very similar to other sets released by Comic Images the early 1990s in that it reuses artwork from comics, has no markings on the front, and uses the same pattern on the back for all cards, with a small amount of text. The artwork in the set is notable because it appears to be taken from the original art by Jim Lee prior to inclusion in the comic and re-colored. As in the example storm card, often portions which are not visible in the comic, due to size constraints, are visible in the card. The colors are also notably more vivid. A trading card (or collectible card) is a small card, usually made out of cardboard or thick paper, which usually contains an image of a certain person (fictional or real) and a short description of the picture, along with other text (statistics, attacks, or trivia). There is wide variation among different types of cards as to the configuration of objects, the content on the card, and even the material used to make the card.
