R.I.P. Stan Lee

News shook the pop culture world yesterday when it was confirmed that Stan Lee had died at age 95.

He was a legend in the comic industry and helped create so many icons that kids and adults still love today.

Fantastic Four? Yup
Hulk? Yup
Spider-Man? Yup
Thor? Yup
Iron Man? Yup
Black Panther? Yup
X-Men? Yup
Daredevil? Yup
Inhumans? Yup

The list goes on and on for what Stan helped create with Jack Kirby, Steven Ditko, John Romita, and the many many other contributors of the Silver Age of Marvel Comics.

Even Cutch was a fan of some Stan Lee creations.
Yup, Cutch wore a Black Panther mask in the dugout while a member of the San Francisco Giants this year.

How anybody can't root for Cutch is beyond me.

And he even got compared to Spider-Man (Lee's most iconic superhero) sometimes as seen on the back of this Panini Fathers Day card.

I must be slipping in my old age...

(NO SPOILERS IN COMMENTS PLEASE!!!!)

Avengers is coming out today and to celebrate one of the most anticipated movies in comic book fandom, I have one of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite movies to start things off as we all speculate what may happen in the movie.

To quote Brodie from Mallrats, "I must be slipping at my old age.  How the hell does something like this get by me."

Topps announced that they made an error with the back of their Series 1 Topps Bunt limited series cards.

Topps made an error AND admitted to it?
Whaaaaaaaat?
How did something like this get by me?

The cards are numbered on the front to only 25 copies.

But the backs states 100 copies.

I purchased the card with the code already scratched out.  I didn't check to see if it has already been redeemed.  This Bunt Titans card was randomly inserted in 2016 Series 1 packs.  It is the first and only copy I have seen of it's kimd.
