Black Timber Epiphany Phenomena

[cornbot]

SNAKE EYES VERSION 2 CARD ART= AWESOME. it's Going up in value, and you have to pay to play all you fellers who slept on the figure.that and the black timber. my question is how many do you have. that is my favorite fig and card art of all time. i bought em everytime i saw them peg warming, my question is how many do you have. i have over 70.

You have 400$ (approx. retail) worth of a single figure?
Now that's commitment.

[cornbot]

they add up don't they. when u buy em here and there at 4.88 a fig you don't really feel it. i calculated how much i've spent since the 25th figs were released. i've spent about 6k. there all moc accept for the bent carders i opened. i figured if i bought afa which i've never purchased before but sometimes i'm tempted from waves 1982-1988 i'd have spent around 13k-25k. so i see myself as still winning.i could always flip my multiples and have my cash back.plus tons of 25th figures. i've been taking all my collections as serious as a heart attack lately, i'm sure you guys have too. i want to see how many of you are as sick in the head as me, and look at toys like investments

You have 70 of just SE v2?

Wow and how many of those are the black timbers?

Just curious.

So then, how much? (for one - w/ regular Timber)

[cornbot]

none of those 70+ are black timbers. i have 17 black timbers. for the record as to how rare the black timber is. i never found it in any stores. and trust me i tried, going to walmart religiously at 2 am 4 am etc. the people that worked in the stores always were smart enough to keep that fig for themselves.
i found them all at flea markets. paid between 9-17 bucks each for em. or traded for them. i'm not into bragging i'm seriously trying to get a feel for how many people have of this fig, because i know he's alot of peoples favorite

Wow. I've probably spent upwards of $250 or $300 getting just about every figure released (with a few extras), and I thought that my spending was out of hand. Over 70 Snake Eyes, almost all to keep carded. . .I'm afraid that that is some obsessive-compulsive behavior, my friend.

[cornbot]

well if u look at it as an investment and not as a hater trying to label people, anyone who bought multiples at 4.88 is the big winner because they are worth 45+. what do you call a person who buys afa??? 3k-9k for an 85 grade snake eyes?
