I'm not sure what you mean by "unique" ...

That's what i wondered last night when I read this....
Without actually counting, I'm gonna say 80. Might be 77, but I don't think that 77 included Adam Warlock, Galactus and Doppleganger.
unique as in there is something different about it
not 77 or 80

um, i don't think I'm clever enough for this one... :-[
I'm thinking unique would rule out the Hillshire Farms cards.
In that case, I think it's 73. The first three sets plus Galactus, Doppelganger and Adam Warlock.
not 73

Well in that case I have no idea. I just counted on the checklist and there are only 73 3-stat characters, so I'm missing something.
I guess if you remove Banshee, Storm, Cyclops and Jean Grey, who all have the same stats, plus Doctor Doom and Iron Man for the same reason, you'd have 67. If that's not what you are getting at with your "unique" descriptor, I don't know what else you could mean.
unique, as in something about the card makes it different from other cards
not 67

Well I'm pretty sure the Hillshire Farm dupes have the PowerSurge 'halo' around the stats, so that would add Doc Octopus, Hobgoblin, Rhino, Spider-Man and Venom, so 73+8 = 78.
Since it's not 73..
39 Original + 21 Powersurge + 10 Mission Control + Adam Warlock + Galactus + 10 Hillshire + 39 Jumbo 5x7 cards
121.
that's the total i came up with too
congrats!
But of the 10 Hillshire Farms hero cards, Black Cat's Hero in indestinguishable from the Power Surge Hero, so technically, there should be 120, if we really are looking at uniqueness (unless, of course, there is a copyright stamp with different dates on the two cards.)
Either case, good trivia! Toss another one out there.
unless ;)
Powersurge has copyright 1995 on it. Hillshires have 1996. The jumbo cards don't have any copyright on the back.

But the HF and the Placards wouldnt be
original cards..... :P
The HF cards with the glow around the stats would be original since the characters released in the original OP don't have glowing stats. As stated above, Black Cat is the only character who's cards are the same, save for the copyright stamp's date. The Placards, are simply much bigger...

IMO of things, I could let the HF go as original since they do glow, but the placards being original just because they are larger :P not original IMO b/c its basically just a large reprint of the same card....
really?
a card identical in every way except for a 'glow' is more distinct than 2 cards of vastly different sizes?
also, the placards have square egdges, instead of rounded

I know ;D It's just literally a "me preference." I know they are different but when I look at them they are the same only bigger/smaller. I think that's just the player in me. I don't collect
every card in the game (i.e. I don't need the Mysterio 3 stat and the Mysterio 3 stat from HF). I only collect what I play with so I think my preferences filter a few opinions :P
