Blue Wraith Find/Questions

So, yesterday I received my wave 10 case from BBTS and low and behold, there was a blue Wraith in it!! I couldn't believe I got it because I never, ever, ever get any rare, limited edition or variants of anything....not even baseball cards and everyone knows there's plenty of those to go around. Another thing that makes this a big deal for me is the fact that this is the first time I have ever ordered a case of Joe's or anything else online. The only other Joe I ever ordered was a 25th v.3 Snake Eyes. Sorry for the babbling about my find but I just couldn't help it.

So, moving on to my question, or actually questions at hand. My question for you guys is what do you think the value of a blue Wraith is right now and what value do you think it will eventually peak at? Also, how do I go about getting it graded, how much does that cost, is it worth it to go that route and how much more does it increase in value by having it graded?

Any answers, remarks, questions or help about all or any of my questions would be greatly appreciated. I know you guys will give good feedback as most of the people on this site seem to be pretty helpful, friendly and insightful. Thanks!!

Really? Why is that? Do they have a special deal with Hasbro or something? On their site where it gives a description of the product it says: "Please Note: The Wraith figure in this wave may ship in the silver color scheme pictured above, or the clear blue variant may also be randomly shipped - depending on the case varieties we receive from Hasbro".

everytime anyone gets a "variant" the first thing out of their mouth is asking how much its worth, like your going to be able to pay off your mortgage with it lol.

Its worth whatever someone will pay for it.

I got the reg. Wraith from BBTS...... not all of them have the variant. BBTS was selling blue Wraiths for $29 bucks awhile back.

Yes I will agree with you on that but Im not asking because I plan on selling it. I actually plan on keeping it as a centerpiece in my collection. Im only asking because, like I said in my post, this is the first time I have ever received anything "rare" or hard to find at all in anything that I have ever collected so I would like to get an idea of what it's worth just to know. Also, you never know, someone might be willing to offer me something else more valuable or worth more to me for it someday.

Dude, no one will know the true story about the blue vs. regular wraith until wave 10 hits walmart and Target at full force. Not to mention there are ( yes I am going to say it!) many LIARS on this site! I love all these people who say they ordered 10 or 20 cases of wave 10 and didn't get a blue wraith but then they post that they can't afford 63 dollars for the Ultimate battle pack a day latter! Remember black head destro going for 50 bucks on EBAY a few months ago and I see that figure EVERYWHERE ( I have 3) . I cannot wait for wave 10 to hit retail because I want another blue wraith ( I bought on from BBTS two weeks ago).
