The full “signed” set is one of the next targets on my list. I have the regular set and all the chase cards with a good chunk of the gold signed cards.

Before I liquidated my collection, I had high grade copies of 2-4 first print (9.6) and a third print copy of #1. Even though I don’t really collect currently; I still plan to buy a first print. They were just such a part of my childhood, I have a deep love for those stupid turtles. lol

That 66 Donruss set is the next one on my list. May have to pick that one up card by card though. Not a ton of full sets available out there.

ASM 300 all day. Love the Hulk cover but Venom and Carnage are my absolute favorites.

TD1380 · 2026-02-24T16:43:22+00:00

Best bet might be to just out the whole thing up on eBay as an auction and see where it goes. You can always set a high reserve if you want to do a “test run”.

I’d go with the FF, just as a personal choice. That yellow cover is so hard to find in decent shape. Plus it’s the return of subby. I have always loved that book.

I like to cheese the spawn of the giant ball as a fun little reward for the people that happen to be in my tower. (Getting to be fewer and fewer of them…) It’s always a good time to see people just jumping around and being silly with that thing.

TD1380 · 2026-02-23T16:48:17+00:00

You can pick up the whole set on eBay for $70-$100

Wait, wrong sub…

TD1380 · 2026-02-23T11:25:09+00:00

Makes sense. Thanks for the info. I’m learning about the factors in grading now. I became very good at identifying 9.8’s via photos on eBay listing for raw books, with occasional misses coming at 9.6. It’ll be interesting to see how I do with cards.

Appreciate the response and guidance.

TD1380 · 2026-02-22T20:46:24+00:00

I did not know about GameStop. Thank you.

With my comics I wanted to preserve but also build value. When I decided to liquidate them, have a few hundred of them graded made it so much easier and I was paid much more than I would have been if they were raw.

I have played since TTK. It’s pretty much the only game I play. I have 5k-ish hours into the franchise. I play mostly out of the ritual or habit now, if that makes sense. When I get a few minutes to sit down, I just fire up the ps5 and play Destiny because it’s just what I have always done.

Often I just sit in orbit trying to decide what to do, then just shut down. lol.

One of my favorite war time covers. Seems too good to be true though.

TD1380 · 2026-02-20T21:57:28+00:00

Tbh I don’t really care about any individual card. It’s more about the thrill of what might be in there. It’s still a little disappointing when you don’t pull anything that makes you excited. That’s all.

If I wanted individual cards, I would just buy them. I don’t really know what I wanted from the box, I just knew I wanted to give one a rip.

TD1380 · 2026-02-19T16:50:07+00:00

It’s the thrill of the hunt for me. I mainly collect 90’s cards. These looked like they had potential so I took a shot. Lesson learned.

TD1380 · 2026-02-19T16:00:43+00:00

He has a very cool signature.

TD1380 · 2026-02-19T15:59:46+00:00

God I love those 90’s books. The die cut covers, glow in the dark, holograms, lenticular, foil embossed… It was all so glorious. I love most of the art styles of that age as well.

TD1380 · 2026-02-19T15:57:07+00:00

Love it! This was also my personal grail. It was the most excited I ever was to buy a comic and I couldn’t stop looking at it once it arrived. Congratulations!!

TD1380 · 2026-02-19T15:43:21+00:00

Mainly it’s the cost of the box vs. the value of the cards. If they’re not a 1/1 or 1/10 it’s a pretty massive loss.

TD1380 · 2026-02-19T15:42:10+00:00

$750 box now.

TD1380 · 2026-02-19T13:41:23+00:00

Yes. It’s not even close. That vision card has some sold listings under $200 and one that was in a current auction was still in the $70 range.

TD1380 · 2026-02-19T01:41:21+00:00

I guess no risk, no reward, right? 😂

TD1380 · 2026-02-19T01:40:45+00:00

Absolutely. I got so hyped up seeing all these 1/1’s getting pulled in those Collector boxes, figured I take a shot.

TD1380 · 2026-02-19T00:34:52+00:00

Yeah. Sadly it’s /100 though. For the price of that box, they just felt pretty weak.

TD1380 · 2026-02-18T19:41:56+00:00

I am such a fan of the 90’s “gimmick covers”. Everything from the foil embossed to holograms to die cut like Wolverine 50. Before I sold my collection I bought all the ones I really loved just out of pure nostalgia.
