Gang,
I just got to my collection this weekend and will be posting my wants and needs soon. I have some cataloging to do still, but my collection is much more complete than I thought.
I know the only hero I'm missing (that I'm interest in) is Dracula from the Classic set. Beyond that, I don't anticipate needing much more than 20 cards and maybe a dozen additional wants where I could use some duplicates for playability.
As I was looking through the checklist, I noticed there are 10 cards from a promotional "Megapower" set. I definitely don't have them. Are they terribly hard to come by? It looks like there are some playable specials for some good characters.
I think I have a spare Dracula, gotta check this weekend.
Megapowers used to be readily available from ceasar1, but he doesn't seem to have any items up right now. I think BBH bought a ton from him, maybe he can chime in.
Yeah, I have some Megapowers.
I'll actually be offering another set of them in the player's pool for our upcoming tournament, so you might be able to win a set.
I'm thinking of trying something slightly different, but I'll post the details soon.
-BBH
Wants:
Special cards:
Sabra * BLADEFIRE (HR) <XM> {R} [OPD]
Scarlet Witch * SORCERESS SLAM w/ 6S icon x2
Characters (for activators):
Heroes for Hire
yeah, a few of those Megapowers are really, really good! In fact, the only one I don't use regularly is Professor X's EQ, except that I use it on every Battlesite that has him on it!
As for the other cards you want, I'm pretty sure I have at least a few of them I'd be willing to trade. I'll double check what I have and let you know. My want list is even shorter than yours, though, so I don't know what kind of trade value we'll be able to equate. But hey, it's worth a look :)
I'll look through mine as well. After I get some cards from Hot Rod (which are hopefully waiting at home for me once I get back from my trip), I think I'm down to about 65 cards remaining total, so I'm not sure what you'll have that I still need, but you never know.
I have the Absorb Sound, All 4 Hillshire Farms Specials, 8I Dracula Power Card, Onslaught Missions #1, 2, 4.
I appreciate everyone chiming in here.
As general note, I'm not sure what I will have to trade of value. The majority of rare type doubles I have are in the Original OP set. Everything else is either tons of common duplicates or pretty much what I need to maintain a playable set, but I'm happy to look through and see if I can spare something if you have a particular need. It seems you all have pretty thorough collections as it is.
I expect I will have to pay $ to get the pieces needed to complete my set and that's fine.
One other bit complicating things is that, since I maintain a collection fit for two people to play from (originally my brother and me), I need more of everything playable than most individuals. This explains why I'm looking for duplicates of things like Power Leech.
I have a few things you need you can check out my list here and see if we can work out a trade. http://trade.mahasamatman.com/Overpower/list_show.pl?user=burkej
Just got the Onslaught missions on eBay, so I've removed them from this list above.
Apparently, I only have one of the events. I haven't done an inventory of all my events yet, but I will get around to that eventually.
I was on vacation until just yesterday and I appreciate the folks that have reached out to help me complete my collection. Please hang in there as I try to sort out which pieces I'm going to get from where - I don't want to double up unnecessarily. I will be in touch over the next few days/weeks.
I am currently in the process of moving, but after things have settled down a bit, I should be able to go hunting through my collection to see what I have that I can part with.

whoa ho ho ho... I just saw what I did there.
*bump*
I've bolded a few of my priorities above (page 1).
My #1 wants right now are the Hillshire specials, especially the Spider-Man one and another Power Leech. Also, the Megapower Set is a big priority.
I have seen some on eBay for purchase, and might go after them there, but wanted to check here first. What I have to offer in trade might be limited, but I am willing to pay $.
$6 from ceasar1 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170707033157) is probably the best deal you can get for the Megapowers. I've probably purchased 6 sets through him.
I have Spider-Man * OVER THE EDGE (AE) <HF> {C} (x2)
Can you go on the trading site and see what you have that you could trade me on my want list?
I'm listed as John Dice.
Thanks

He used to sell a lot too. If you buy enough ($50+), he'll waive shipping costs.

I also purchased from him. Definitely the best place for Megapowers.
I was happy to see him pop back on eBay yesterday. He's been missing for a few months.

My need list is shrinking, but unfortunately I still have very little to offer in trade for what the likes of you serious OPers would be looking for. How were the Beyonder cards first produced? I never see any on eBay.
They were given out in the Venture newsletter as well as prizes during tournaments. Hot Rod had a stack of 30 of them at one time.
I wouldn't mind a printed copy of the Marvels cards, but I'm cheap, so acurrately sized color printouts that I can cut out and slide into the sleeve with another card would be enough to make me happy. Any idea how I can go about doing that?
http://www.beenhereandthere.com/SMF/index.php?topic=208.msg5995#msg5995
I posted my method of getting my sets printed.
Is there a file that you print them from?
http://files.overpower.ca/homemades/super_high_qual_marvels.zip
Is the set of files for the Marvels made by OverPower Legion on Facebook. Onslaught hasn't released his set yet.
I open them up in Photoshop and align them in 2x2 (or 2x4/3x3) cards and print it out using the 5x7 paper (or Letter/A4 for the 2x4 or 3x3).
Thank you! I'll see what I can do, since I haven't got photoshop... lol
It doesn't have to be Photoshop, any image editing program will do fine.
EDIT: Though, the reason why I chose Photoshop was so that I could get better prints by choosing proper colour profiles among other things.
Cutting the cards out could be tricky. The simplest method would be to run a utility knife down a straight edge and cut them out like that. I went a bit fancy and got myself a paper trimmer (something like this (http://i.imgur.com/sum4w.jpg)) to have more precise cuts as well as getting the corners rounded.
EDIT: Of course, coming to the meetups will get you free colour printouts of any cards if you give me enough time to get it done.

When is this going to happen?
