Noticed the Orangeking is selling a few of the newly created Marvel cards on a few of his auctions. Who created these cards?...

The Galactus and APTW are his own printouts of "my" creation -- and I gave him permission to include these in auctions. He should be the only person on eBay with this privilege. During the tournament, he said he'll never sell off any of the actual cards.
The rest of the Marvels were created by Michael Carbonara and The Orange King has permission from him to reprint them for inclusion in auctions.
I guess Orangeking has permission to print out the whole set. Doesnt seem right somehow but oh well. I guess somebody will profit off this set after all lol. :o

Other than cost of the paper and market forces, I don't believe he is selling these sets for anymore than the ones without our Marvels.
I do believe it is win-win, he gets more sales due to the presence of Marvels, we get more exposure to our website (and further, our community) and this in turn will revive OverPower!..... At least I'm hoping it does.
I don't think he's profiting off them, but I still don't like him selling them. It's your call obviously Jack, but I feel like it cheapens our sets if he's just printing out low quality copies and sending them out.
I agree with Jack that the OrangeKing is helping the game. His version is not printed on card stock and it is not cut correctly (square corners.)
The best way to breathe life into a game is by adding an expansion. The next step is to make that expansion available to everyone who would like it. Jack and BBH's project only made 100 copies. In the short run that helps people in the know at this point in time. What about a month or a year from now when the prospect of new players coming into the game and wanting their own copy? The OrangeKing will be there to help them.
Its not a big deal. Since its about exposure I assume anybody can put paper copies of this set up to spread the word!!! It would seem wrong if it was only one person with this right. As far as profiting I'm sure adding these cards to ANY OverPower sale makes a buyer more likely to buy. I just wanted to point out it was on ebay, not make more of it than it is.
I have no problems at all with people including them in their sales, I only require they let me know first. I did not explicitly state that though.
And if anyone wants to; please let me know you're going to do it:
