Finally found a Defiant!

Just bought this & really conflicted on whether or not to open it. I bought it to go with my Flagg but it's the first Shipwreck I've ever owned & don't know if I should get it graded instead. The card is decent with just one crease in the top right corner.
Anyhow reason I'm conflicted is because every time I see these sell on ebay whether they are graded or not they always bring crazy high prices! Even if they're low grade or have broken o-rings etc they still bring insane prices. So this is why I'm looking for advice. Last edited by Brendan; 03-24-2020 at 01:50 PM.. |

Don’t open it! Buy a second OPENED Shipwreck in good condition instead!

I concur. Put that in a clamshell and get 1 or more open shipwrecks to man your flagg.

Don't open it. You may regret it later. Just hold out and keep searching for a Shipwreck that's loose and in great shape.

Get a loose one. Get another loose one And put someone else's head on it for a random sailor custom.

No way, open that sucker carefully, and imagine it's Christmas in 1985 or 6. That's what this hobby is for. If you open it carefully and leave the bubble attached, you can resell it for a good price and have a beautiful mint loose Shipwreck on display to boot.

The gray file card and 86 line up on the back are telling. It's still a lovely carded figure.

This is awfully tempting to open. I think if I had it graded I'd be lucky to get an 80 with the creased corner. Decisions Decisions. ..
