Greetings all from North Carolina!

I just registered here. I found the YouTubes of some of the posted tournament games in Toronto and found my way here via the great site at OnePerDeck.com

After seeing X-Men: First Class at the beginning of the summer, I got the Marvel bug again.  I was lucky enough to land free sneak preview passes for next Wednesday to see Captain America too!

As for OP, my younger brother and I started with the original starter decks in the mid 90s and have compiled a collection of all the Marvel OP expansions.  My hunch is that my Original/PS/MC/IQ sets are at least 90% complete, but I am not as sure about Monumental, Classic, and X-Men. I haven't ever played against anyone except my brother and consider myself a novice player.

I am looking to complete my collection of Marvel Overpower (not interested in Image or DC) over the next few months. Complete for me means playable complete; I'm not necessarily worried about having every variant, but I might have need for more duplicates of certain playable specials.

My collection is still at my mom's house in Pittsburgh and I will be heading there in August. From there, I will take inventory of what I have and need. Once I gather a WANTS & NEEDS list, I will post it in the appropriate forum. I'll be willing to buy singles, booster boxes, or trade if I have anything of value to anyone.  I'm also interested in obtaining a playable version of the Marvels expansion set and have been reading some of your tips for printing those in the homemades forum.

I'm hoping to teach the game to my wife later this fall. We'll see how that goes!

Thanks to everyone who is keeping the OP community alive. I've been incredibly impressed by the online presence in this forum and at websites like OnePerDeck.com.

Glad to see another North Eastern OPer.  Welcome aboard and hopefully we can talk transactions in the future.

Hiya Mattkoz! Welcome to the OP forums. We share a similar Overpower background in terms of our early collections. Fortunately I've finally been able to get most of the cards from the Classic & X-men OP sets by now. Had a lot of help in doing that from the people in these forums so you came to the right place.

Welcome!  If we keep getting guys on the east side we'll have to organize our own meet up at some point.   ;D
