Massive Marvel Beginnings: X-Women 8-card puzzle

Rogue, Storm, Kitty, and Emma.

I did a large number of puzzle-sets for Upper Deck's Marvel Beginnings and I was torn between putting them up a piece a day or all at once.  Since I'm rotating in Thor sketch cards as well, some of these puzzle sets could end up being strung out for weeks, so I decided I'd pop up a complete puzzle set every Monday until I run out.

I'm  saving the big 16-card puzzle for the last Monday I'll do this.

Something I've always wondered about puzzle sketch cards--since sketch cards are usually inserts, will the puzzles ever in the history of man be re-assembled?

Also, jealous of your mad marker skills. The smooth and textured effects are baffling to me.

I heard they now try to put all the cards from one set into a single box.

The textures are generally a result of how the card stock resisted the pigment. The smoother stuff is blending and such.

That speckled look is just from the card?

Yeah -- it's like there's bits of pulp in the paper that just doesn't want to retain colour.
