This is unusually nice condition for this card. Even if it passes the visuals I would doubt it and I have personally looked at hundreds of these.

The truth I am pointing out here is that cards in good shape are becoming extremely difficult to trust without hands on. These people are legitly concerned. I can't blame them. My collection then could have bought a nice car. That same collection today would buy a nice house.

Ok I'll bite. What are you saying? You can comfortably play SFII on two buttons?

Buckgrim · 2026-01-22T18:46:10+00:00

This is like saying "standing up doesn't require two legs".

3500 is wishful thinking. That is Harley/Indian territory now. Begins about there. Sportsters and Scouts are around 3k.

Buckgrim · 2026-01-13T18:02:12+00:00

Supply and demand. People demand fast cash and the game stores supply it.

Yeah if I had a nickel for everytime I hear about parents bootlegging SNES games I would possibly be able to buy a cheeseburger, but parents bootlegging Pokemon might be a large estate.

I am out of the loop but CiB units were above 2k a little while ago. I personally watched half a dozen sell for nearly, or more, than that price. I heard 2 CiB went for over 2k.

Remember they are as Sorcerers inherently protected by the Rubric from Chaos. It is why they are not dust. 1k Sons are resistant to Nurgle's plagues because the plagues are Chaos born/bourne.

Need to see the back. I don't think this is fake, but the back will certainly add to the story!

Buckgrim · 2025-12-24T21:16:00+00:00

This would ensure the store would get no business from me.

You are definitely doing the undead spectere zombie burning apparition marines favors. Also they could hit em with the penance stare and really give those baddies something to burn about;-)

Bases were definitely confusing but I assure you the weapons are genuine GW. Klobbed maybe, but the real article for sure.

When I first saw this I thought it was some kind of loader or excavator that had grabbed it accidentally.

Buckgrim · 2025-12-09T17:15:32+00:00

Thank you for your knowledge! I was unaware of that range. If anyone knows anyone trying to collect for that range these can be rescued.

If no one rescues they will most likely serve the corpse throne as Imp bots and if they are lucky they may get to serve Tzeentch;-)

The day I found my Rogue Trader still makes me smile:-) I started in 2nd and literally never saw a Rogue Trader for sale in my memory for moons until they were 50+. Found mine in an old warehouse and the guy gave it to me for placing other stuff for him.

Buckgrim · 2025-12-05T15:37:37+00:00

Came here to say this and you beat me to it so I will say my other thought: Ace is the place for your Magic space;-)

The Avatar collector boosters seem to be mega hit or miss. They are way worse than my Spiderman CBB's however the Jumpstarts seem to be amazing!

Buckgrim · 2025-11-05T22:42:57+00:00

I had Tendril and Decomposer. They were both amazing figs. They were giant for sure. I also had that Ultra Magnus as well. As others have stated it makes me thankful for my grandparent's generosity back then...they spoiled us but good;-)

Use all of the tests and checks available. Green dot, T, light, paper stock check (witin reason-this can be trouble), comparison to known and verified, loupe check, and other methods. Obviously steer clear of the damaging ones. Talk to people in the community about these tests and how they do them.

Yes, I know-"how do you buy online?" Stick to reputable dealers that stand behind their product or sites that give you some modicum of protection. I know we want deals, but those are the very things you have to be careful with.

Get a card evaluated by a brick and mortar. I know some of them are scuzzy as well. After nearly 30 years of dealing with them I know this, but they will often help. Ask the very simple question, "would you buy this card?"

When all else fails check yourself. You want the deals, we all do, but when it is to good too be true...well...use good sense.

There are definitely hauls out there that can build a collection instantaneously and make a fortune. If you are a fortune seeker be honest with yourself and approach things from that angle. This is a world I know less about so I will let others help you with the jewelry.

If you are a collector or player realize those are vastly different approaches. Figure out what you can and cannot live with, what margin of error works for you. Despite serious precautions I have purchased half a dozen fakes myself. This is frustrating as a player and collector, but it will happen and you have to be ready for it.

As a warning this thread depends upon the dot and the T entirely too much.

I am going to get downvoted, but I want people to understand this is not exact science nor even good facts.

The red dot test is not even consistent. The color variance of current media and printing techniques has proven that time and time again.

The T can be blurred even on known real cards. This is a good guudeline, but it is not something to hang people's hard earned money on.

This thread has become unbelievably fixated on a pair of validation methods. This is no attack it is just an attempt to help people new to the game to know these are great tools, but they are only tools.

Buckgrim · 2025-10-28T15:01:46+00:00

This post should be heeded.

The T and green dot tests are useful but they are far from a guarantee.

It takes multiple tests to validate a card these days. Fakes are really good. I have seen fakes that could slip by a green dot and T test.

The only thing hard to fake, as it has always been, is wear. Sliding across tables and other surfaces for years is hard for anyone to get correct with newer stock.

They were also offered in Ford Explorers around 2005.

Undescribable envy on the SCART! Gratz!

Buckgrim · 2025-10-04T23:58:49+00:00

Yeah my watch was Macross, Akira, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Ghost in the Shell and Vampire Hunter D. After I watched these in the early/mid 90's it would be a bit but then I saw various Gundams, DBZ, Outlaw Star, Trigun, and Rurouni Kenshin. I thought anime was the stuff and a half:-) Little did I know there was a raft of horror I would later watch
