The “Vintage DC Comic Covers” Collection
Whether you grew up reading DC comic books or are new to the fold as a part of your collecting journey with Hro, we're so excited to unveil these retro designs that'll take you on an adventure spanning DC's early history! Let's dive into what you can expect from this latest drop:
First of all, there are four different box designs for the “Vintage DC Comic Covers'' collection. Our box assortment, printed with holographic white foil on a series of yellow boxes, is randomized, opening up an extra adventure for any Hros who want to display all four boxes as a part of their physical collections.
The box variants are as follows:
- Superman and Lois Lane artwork with blue text
- Wonder Woman artwork with red text
- Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) and Sinestro with green text
- Batman, Robin, and The Penguin artwork with black text
As for the cards in the overall hybrid assortment, there are 21 designs that all feature nostalgic artwork throughout DC history. Let’s take a trip down memory lane…
“Vintage DC Comic Covers” Collection: Mega Cards
While most of these cards will be in our traditional sizing, we're excited to announce that this collection also features three Mega Card designs, which clock in at about 3.46 x 4.96 in. Each one is assigned to a different rarity level and unlocks a bonus set of digital trading cards on top of the hybrid packs...but more on that later!
Each “Vintage DC Comic Covers” hybrid collection box is guaranteed to contain at least one holographic Mega Card along with nine traditional-sized cards (including two traditional holos). There are three different Mega Card designs, and they all feature robot battle-themed illustrations...that's right--even way back then, DC was thinking about futuristic sci-fi storytelling! Here's how the rarity levels shake out:
EPIC TIER

LEGENDARY TIER

COMPLETION REWARD
Anyone able to collect all 21 cards in the hybrid set will be eligible to receive a special completion Rewards Card.

UNCUT SHEET REWARDS
And the fun doesn’t stop there…we will be offering uncut sheets for the top 50 eligible Hros on the "Vintage DC Comic Covers" leaderboard! Uncut sheets will be rewarded in the following ranking order:
