these pieces. There are also "mystery figures" to add to the chase and collectability.
Packaged at 4-cards per figure, this 64-card set contains artwork on both sides of the cards where
the card backs are actual puzzle pieces. When put together the card backs form a large photomosaic
of all the major Marvel characters with a larger shaded Spider-Man in the foreground. Look
