Spider-Man Top Trumps cards and sets

edit: removed the Spider-Sense images temporarily as I was getting a lot of a spam on these images and WP seem more interested in pushing their crappy new editors down our throats than fixing spam and removing junk vitamin tablet accounts. The new WP editor is crap I know because I tried it to edit this post – and it was just a nightmare to use. Good job I still have classic editor at my disposal, though for how long I don’t know…


Thanks for looking 🙂
