WOW!! this is very, very cool post! thanks man :D
I just picked this up:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=221041619070
Not sealed but the magazine should be an excellent addition to my collection.
You're welcome, let me know if you can see any errors or missing stuff or help me clarify some things. I didn't add the newsletter or SASE, tournament or con cards.
thanks fang
Nice job.
Don't forget the very first promo - the Fighting 6 power card variant. In an edition of the LONG defunct Ventura magazine I believe although they later sent it to legion members too.
I see. it wasn't listed in the wiki.
Thanks for the sticky!

it's deserved
i fixed a couple cards and added the 6f promo.
You should actually purchase the magazines before posting the information. Pulling information from GDMJR and Wikipedia is one thing but actually buying the sealed magazine and seeing the card in the bag is another.
Here's your cover:

And here's your "6 Fighting Promo Card"

Proof that I found the right magazine:

i would love to own all of the mags. but so far i've only found combo with savage land and inquest with warlock.
which ones can you verify?
I can vouch for:
October 1995 comics that have the top-right OverPower triangle
Combo Magazine #21
Combo Magazine #24
Wizard #50
Wizard #58
Wizard #96
Wizard's Wolverine Tribute
Pictures with proof will go up on the wiki in July/August.
cool. i'll add those in. thanks.

i can vouch for Xmen #45 (which doesn't say Overpower on the cover). mine has Gamma Terror (Abomination).
Was promo warlock the last card made?
Since magazines are front-dated, Warlock (from the August volumes of Wizard and Inquest Gamer) was likely printed before August.
The Megapowers went on sale early August (August 5th to be somewhat exact).
You figure it out.
thanks.
bump added the cover for combo 24, thanks to Steve Ollie ( @Steve_Olle ) on twitter.
I got a promo card today with some onslaught mission promos that i haven't seen anywhere. And it has a 1995 date so I dont think it was got with them. ANy idea what its from?(http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8157/7604889338_3ffe98efa3_z.jpg)(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7109/7604889716_f403418723_z.jpg)
So it was you that won it :P I forgot to bid.
I got that card when Blockbuster was doing a grand opening and it was part of the swag bag back in 1995 or so. It's highly collectible.
did you win any of those x-men lots he had goin? they looked pretty damn nice but my funds got low.
Nope, I missed out. I was watching both the Missions and the Hillshire sets.
Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 #325 (I can verify this, I got one in this book when I was a kid)
InQuest Magazine #9 (Jan 1996) - This one had the powersurge confusion, got this when it was new!
Onslaught OverPower Expansion Set (Missions)
1 mission of 7 cards: randomly inserted in packs of Marvel Ultra Onslaught Trading Cards, released Fall 1996, at the rate of 1 per 9 packs.
I got an onslaught hero card in Marvel ultra onslaught pack when i was a kid...theoretically all these were available in those packs.
I think the hero cards are available in packs, but not the specials.
I have a complete listing, with proof, of the promotional cards that came bundled with magazines.
http://overpower.ca/wiki/Magazine_Promotional_Cards
Onslaught: Characters and Events came in Marvel Ultra Onslaught packs, the other cards were found in the comic books in pairs.
Awesome!
What about combo #13?

I probably left a few out, kinda hard to be tracking them all. And for $50+, no thanks.
* SAVAGE LAND (DF)=>(BL) {R} [OPD] Sauron
On your turn, play before opponent concedes. Opponent may not concede
battle. This card may be placed.
WHERE IT WAS AVAILABLE: Combo Magazine #13 (February 1996)
I know I bought issue 21 but I'll need to check the cover date again.
I have secured Combo #13 for inspection. Will post details when it arrives.
Interesting
Confirmed Savage Land promotional card. Adding entry to the wiki.
I need to add that here.
Also, what is the cover date to combo 13?
I don't understand why you're bothering to post it here, the wiki has the information.
if people dont know about it and only visit here.
i worked to make this post. :)
Maybe you should check your own sources again for the magazine dates. Especially Combo #21.
:) October 1996.
