I thought this one would be easy to find Not so.
I cannot even find matching cards for the individual characters.
By the way, wgat is the meaning for the pink/green shading for the entries in the forums?

If this was a special promo panel, and marked as such, it may be added. If it's simply a portion of the full uncut sheet of cards, it cannot be added.
In the Card Identification forum, pink color means the card has not yet been identified, green means it has been marked as "resolved".

Jeff Allender's non-sport site notes that the 4-card panel was "Pro Action". Pro Action was a Marvel Comics/NFL magazine released in 1994 to ??? I couldn't figure out which issue had them, based on images alone, but issue #2 claims there are cards "inside" on the cover banner.

I did see this on eBay, but there was no provenance. I agree with the earlier poster that it must have been from ProAction although I have no memory of it. It is definitely not just a part of a larger sheet.

In 1978, there were Topps baseball cards in panel form in the magazine called "Dynamite". The cards did not differ from the cards found in packs. These panels are not listable per Admin (Ihave some, and asked specifically about this type of card panel).
Therefore, if these cards do not differ from individual cards that already exist, this panel cannot be listed here.

These can and should be listed. The released set used a totally different card design that was not the same as the sports design of that year.
Four card promo panels were very popular with non sports and specifically Marvel issues. They were never random but were always the same four cards in each panel. Later they went to a full back design and I can only assume that was to to keep them from being cut and sold as oversized or error cards.
I've never seen this panel before. Very cool to see it with the sports design.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

I completely agree with Billy here in every way. Nothing about these represent the actual 1994 Ultra Marvel cards. I love the sports theme to them though. I've never seen Marvel cards with a sports field background!
1994 Ultra Marvel looked like this: https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/72985/1994-Ultra-X-Men
Similar design but not the same as the sports designs from the same year. That is clearly a promo or prototype panel of cards!

I don't know anything about these, and I wasn't trying to stop them from being listed if they were different or were marked as promo or some other unique print on them. If they are different from anything else, yes, they should be listed, and should be listed as 4-card set with the panel as a parallel.
