Marvel Universe Series II cello pack

This is the Marvel Universe Series II "cello pack". These cards were distributed to retailers in sealed cellophane packs to promote the upcoming series. They have the small "1991" text in the front corner like the variants of this same set as well as subtle differences on the back. Credit to abs-cards.net for the differences listed in the caption.

  • The text "1991" in the upper left corner of the card front is printed in bold on the regular cards and in regular text on the promos.
  • 1 Spider-Man - The 2nd line in the text on the card back ends with the word "accidentally" on the promo version whereas "accidentally" appears on the 3rd line on the regular card.
  • 45 Silver Surfer - On the card back the "S" in "Silver Surfer" grazes the character's head on the promo version, but not on the regular card back.
  • 51 Cyclops - The 2nd line in the text on the card back ends with the word "These" on the promo version, not on the regular card.
  • 57 Magneto - The Power Ratings chart on the card back reads "6" for Durability and "5" for Intelligence on the promo version but reads "5" and "3", respectively, on the regular card.
  • 124 Fantastic Four vs. Dr. Doom - The first word on the 2nd line of the copyright info on the card back reads "and"; on the regular card this line begins with "Exclusively"
