Matching the Swipe (pins 200 - 299)
I don't always get this right, so if you see a better match, please email me at weedsofcrime@gmail.com
Ice Man - Pin 200.  Taken from the Uncanny X-Men issue #280 page 22.
 
Cyclops - Pin 201.  This swipe is one of numerous swipes taken from the cover of X-Men (1991)
Spider-Man - Pin 202.  Not expecting to find a swipe for this one, except for the Tod MacFarland Spidey face.
Ice Man - Pin 203.  Again, I'm not expecting to find any Santa hat swipes. - Addendum - somebody found a Punisher Santa Hat, though not the swipe, it is close.  From the Punisher Holiday Special #1 cover box
Cable - Pin 204. Found on a X-Force advertisement.
Cloak cut-out - Pin 205.  There is no picture on the list, and I have never seen a Cloak pin, so I'm fairly sure this doesn't exist.

Hearts of Darkness inside cover.jpeg
Punisher / Ghost Rider/ Wolverine logo - Pin 215. This is from a one-off special called Ghost Rider, Wolverine, Punisher - "Hearts Of Darkness" and featured inside the inner and back cover. Difficult to find, as when searching online, all the websites don't show this.

Nomad title font - Pin 215. This font appeared on all of the Nomad (1990) limited series and the Nomad (1992) series, issues #1-21.  Nomad was the 1950's Bucky who had been revived in the Captain America series.  He carried around a baby girl with him...
Venom with tongue - Pin 216.  Copied from the cover of Darkhawk issue #14.  This image was also later used on a blister pack, soft enamel pin, number M112.
Hulk - Pin 217.
Thanos Shield - Pin 218.  It was one of the WTF is this pins, and I didn't know what it was, until I got the list. I'd thought it might be a Marshall Law pin, it had such an odd feel.  Swiped from Silver Surfer issue #59 page 12.  The whole sequence is a sort of mind-merged battle between Thanos and the Silver Surfer.
Silver Surfer - Pin 219.  I kept seeing this pin & knew the image was swiped from somewhere... I was looking in a copy of Silver Surfer #50 when it clicked... This intrica box first appeared on issue #15 till #99

Rogue - Pin 229.
Morbius pin.jpg
Wolverine - Pin 225.his is an unusual swipe.  It first appeared in a sealed Morbius issue  #1, as part of a six part, freebie poster.  The poster was released later, as a complete, single poster.
Spirits of Vengeance title font - Pin 225.  This font was only used in the Spirit of Vengeance series for issues #1 - 9 after which it went under the title of Ghost Rider / Blaze.  Also note, Planet haven't copied the tail of the S.  If somebody finds a closer match, let me know.  Also, this comic carried another piece of the above poster, I suspect the Johnny Blaze bit.
Punisher - Pin 232. The cover of Punisher Special : An Eye For An Eye #1. Many thanks to Matt Evans.

A great find - I have to admit I had to look twice before I saw it.

Warlock - Pin 233.  Found in Infinity War issue #2, page 9.

Cable title logo - Pin 234.  I thought this would be easy, but I can't find this font anywhere.
Bishop - Pin 235. From X-men issue #8, page 10.
Carnage - Pin 236.  Swiped from the cover of the Amazing Spider-Man issue #363.  Also notice the Venom face that Planet also made into a pin (no. 262)

Spider - Pin 241.  I'm not sure if this is the right pin as I only have the larger BP13/BP17 pin... In fact, I don't think I've ever seen a normal-sized pin 214.  But it does exist because there is a photo on the Planet Pin list of it.
Morbius title font - Pin 241. This font lasted all 32 issues, though from issue #2, it had the Living Vampire in smaller letters under the main title.
Wolverine in a Santa Hat - Pin 242.
Demogoblin - Pin 243.  Taken from the Web of Spider-Man, issue #87, page 4.
Pumpkin Bomb - Pin 244.  How did my finder find this?  Look at the Pumpkin Bomb… the bat shape craved in it.  From the cover of Spider-Man issue #22.  And the strange thing is, except for the cover, not one pumpkin is seen in this issue.
Colossus - Pin 245.
Wolverine - Pin 246.
Ravage 2099 title font - Pin 247.  This font was used from issue #1 - 5.  Then it was widened to hide the bad covers and lasted another excruciating 32 issues before Doom killed him off.  The first few issues are supposedly written by Stan Lee, but I expected it was ghost-written by somebody else.  And yes, that is a gold foil cover...
Venom - Pin 248.  Swiped from the cover of the Amazing Spider-Man issue #362.
X.S.E. Xavier Security Enforcers logo - Pin 249.  The first clear look at this, is in Uncanny X-Men issue #282 page 3.  There properly a better swipe, but this is the first clear image of Bishops arm patch.
Silver Surfer - Pin 250.  Swiped from Silver Surfer issue #60, page 6.
Spider-Man 2099 head - Pin 251.

Spider-Man / Punisher symbol - Pin 267.  I've looked at all the team-up comics I can find with these two, but still haven't found this symbol.

Punisher 2099 - Pin 269.  Punisher 2099 #1 page 30.
Avengers 30th Anniversary - Pin 270. The only image I could find of this was the barcode box on Avengers #361.  It's difficult finding bar code boxes as less the 50% published had an image in them, just the barcode.
Avengers barcode box #361.jpg
Cable Head - Pin 271.
Spider-Man Vs. Venom - Pin 272.  Spider-Man & Venom from the Amazing Spider-Man, issue 332.  This is the only instance (found, so far), where Planet Studios combined two images to make one pin.  The art for Venom was taken from the cover & combined with the interior art from page 19.  Many thanks to the person that found it.  I wouldn't have seen it in a million years.

Topps 1992 Marvel Super Heroes trading card  - X-men series one #36 - Rogue by Jim Lee. 

I'm not sure Planet captured the image correctly... is it me or is the head too small? But then again, it looks like she has a deformed arm on the card.

Stryfe Mask - Pin 277.  This one is difficult. I & my companions, have found some very close examples but none just right.  I think this may be an in-house interpretation rather than a copy.
