Palatinus' OverPower Forum

I just purchased this so I don't have the item in question on hand. But with the picture provided in the auction, I'm starting to question the rarity of my find.



I now own the coveted pre-release edition of Clobberin' Time, so my collection of those strategy guides is complete. However, the card in the bottom right corner intrigues me a bit. The auction says it's a "Fighting 6 Prototype" card, so obviously my first thought would be:



However, all of the Level 6 Prototypes I own have the Spider-Man/Wolverine backing. This one is "power cardz" backed. Could there be two versions of the card? Confirmed that the power cardz card is a different game.

Interestingly enough, I found this by going through JohnL's posts just now:

But reading further into the thread shows that the prototype cards used the Spider-Man/Wolverine backing without copyrights.

I'll know for sure in the coming weeks but I wanted to make a post in case Steve, Theo or John were stopping by the forums to provide some insight.

Looks like it could just be the 6F Wolverine.

sidenote: i actually had a sealed inquest gamer 52, didn't know you needed it. ( http://overpower.ca/wiki/User:Jack#Items_I_am_missing )

im really thinking it will be the 6f with a different back, maybe the phrase "power cardz" is an unrelated promotion.

I overlooked that magazine so it didn't show up on my radar if it came up on eBay.

And, unfortunately, this exists and rules out any possibility of a different backing.

Is there any way to tell a legion 6f from the mag version now?

It should be the exact same card and likely no visual difference.

I would like to confirm that Ventura #1 is in fact the magazine that contains the Level 6 Fighting Power card Promo and the Clobberin' Time pre-release guide.

weird, so many sources say issue 2.

All of the information came from GDMJR and his checklist, everyone assumes they are correct. I set out to prove him right or wrong, which is why I started collecting all of them sealed.

I won't be able to correct all of the sources, but the very best I could do is modify the main Wikipedia article and our Wiki and checklists. Our site/wiki should be the authoritative source for everything OverPower.

anymore things you can confirm from my big post?
also can you get me a pic of that mag's cover?

Everything I know is posted on the Wiki.

is this the cover?

a bit much for just the 1 you need.

I already have it in transit. I'm also working out a deal with the seller on just #23.

It was previously available for $16 but I refused to buy it since the card inside is a piece of crap useless Batcave Promo.

I can't see from the picture is the DC overpower card still inside #23? thanks! - vlame1988
This item is now in our warehouse, But I will check tomorrow and get back with you.  Thanks.- ryder24
