Stunning Photos
This book could be a guessing game. Look at the close-up photo and see if you can guess what humble, everyday object it is (don't peek at the text). The color and textures and shape in the photos are gorgeous on their own. The book features 100 ordinary objects for their special designs. The book originates from a 2004 exhibition of the same title at MOMA. It celebrates objects familiar (scissors, lipstick, zipper, ballpoint pen, coffee cozy) to all of us.
A must have for a Marketeer
I spotted this book at my college Library and promptly went and grabbed it from the bookstore. The book talks about how simple things like the bobby pin, chopsticks were invented. Goes to show that innovation exists all around us. A definite must have for a marketeer, or a business person dealing with consumers.
little gem
compact and concise, this small gem of a book gives star power to the everyday object. great for those who appreciate the little things.

Perfect All Around
Got the box in record time (only had to wait three days), to us it was a great price. We opened all the packs and before we were through we had a complete set plus four special cards. Great Art, great fun for the inner nerd. My husband loved it because he remembered collecting these cards when he was younger.

Pleased With Purchase
My order was delivered sooner than expected and in mint condition. The product was unwarped and bent. I've gotten other boxes of these types of cards before and had them stick together inside the packs, but these were great. Beware buying some of the older series.
Great gift
I bought the trading cards as a gift for my husband. He really enjoyed the gift and it brought out the inner kid in him.

In May of 2002, “Spider-Man” was the first movie to earn over $100 million in its opening weekend.  “Spider-Man” was not the first superhero to make it to the big screen.  But I consider that weekend of “Spider-Man,” when the “Marvel Comics” logo leafed across the screen to the glee of geeks everywhere, as the first real arrow in the subsequent volley of Silver Screen Superheroism.

I never had a baseball card collection. Instead, the plastic sleeves in my Trapper Keeper housed the Red Skull. The Thing. And a radiant White Queen, whose white lace and leather bodice my mother disapproved of. Twice weekly after karate class, we 11-year-olds would exchange Marvel Masterpieces trading cards while imagining who could play Wolverine if they ever made an X-Men movie. This was the early ‘90s. There was no Hugh Jackman and the first “X-Men” wouldn’t come out until all our cards and comics had been traded away
