These are awesome! It's been years since I've collected cards like this. How can I get them?

Thanks,

Though I didn't pursue them from the Rittenhouse set (to my chagrin), I decided that, on a budget, I would try to assemble the costume cards from the Upper Deck IM2 set. And minus the armor piece, here they are:

Nice set, man! You should pick up the armor card! The Rittenhouse cards were more presentable than the UD armor card, but at least there's only one to buy from the new set as opposed to three.

I've been sketch buying like a madman, myself.

They are from the Upper Deck movie set.  I'd guess that packs are widely sold out wherever it was they were sold. I wouldn't even know where to buy a pack of cards anymore to be honest.  I either order boxes online nowadays, or just buy a set from somewhere.

Nowadays though, most sets with premium costume and autograph cards average a grand to build the entire Master Set plus chase cards. It's the chase cards that'll set you back. I actually built the Iron Man 2 set and all of the standard chase cards for about 25 bucks, but the costume, autograph and armor cards can run hundreds a piece.

I'm waaay late to the game on these cards, but I did finally
decide to get a box (of 42) and am most of the way through it.

I'm enjoying these ones as well; prior to the set for the first IM movie,
I wasn't much of a card guy. I enjoyed the first experience so much
I came back for the second set.

With the box, I've score pretty much two complete sets of the 1-75 cards,
plus two costume cards (Rhodey and racing-car Stark outfits), one sketch
card (of Rhodes), three armored cards (Mk V, War Machine and Nick Fury),
a few of the specially die-cut character cards (Fury, Black Widow and Whiplash)
as well as most of the AMAZING comic cover cards (which were my favourite part
of this set of cards).

I have three packs left ;-)
Will see what those bring to the collection.

I did think the photography on the main card set was a bit weak this time around.
But otherwise, the fun of the specials more than makes up for it. The formats are nice too.

yyyyup. Modern card collecting is all about the inserts and chase cards nowadays without much care actually given to the set itself in many cases.

Checked my spares, no luck. Would've been more than happy to set you guys up. Most of my spares are below 28 if you need any others for another set. Sorry.

Wouldn't it be wild if we inadvertently discovered some kind of weird printing allocation that made some cards in this set super scarce?

Well, it certainly seems that the range of cards after #26, up until the mid 40s
is definitely more rare. All my spare groupings are mostly complete until they
hit this range. So no individual spare that I could just send your way, sorry.

I do have a full base set, but I see on ebay that you can grab them there for
only $10-15, which is cheaper than I'd rather let it go for. I'll recommend that.
Some card dealers may have individuals as well. Good luck! And very glad to
hear from you here.
