Description
This card features Owlman from the DC Universe in the iconic Marvel Metal Universe design style. The card boasts a stunning etched metallic foil finish with a textured background.

The 'Metal Universe' logo is prominently displayed in the top-left corner with the character name and 'VILLAIN' designation on the left border.
Key Features

Flaws to Note
Minor chipping on the metallic edges (common for this set); soft whitening on the front-left edge; slight corner ding on top-right; surface micro-scratches typical of chromium-style cards.
Selling Guide

Selling Tips
Highlight 'High Series' in the title. Photograph out of the sleeve to show the shine, but keep in a penny sleeve and top-loader immediately after. Use keywords like 'SkyBox style' and 'Etched Foil'.
