If you ever questioned that the X-Men have been fully resurrXed, put that question to rest because the pinnacle of 90’s X-Men is finally back. A new trading card set from Upper Deck is coming this summer celebrating Marvel’s merry mutants. The FLEER ULTRA X-MEN will have cards from the industries top artists. Themed sets of cards in this series include Onslaught, Greatest Battles, and the Original X-Men & Brotherhood. Upper Deck was contacted but did not provide comment on this release. We will provide details as they come but until then enjoy some killer art from the set as you prepare to trade these bad boys on the bench next to the swingset this summer.
