If I ever win the lotto I am going to have not just a man cave, but a man store. Walking in you fill find every toy produced in the ARAH line MISB in pristine condition as well as a loose sample. Since that is unlikely to happen I don't like to buy MISB. I love the box art but I couldn't resist opening the toy.
I feel there is some problems with going the MISB route. The tape used on the early boxes has really dried out. Do you put modern tape over it to hold it in place? Is that still really MISB? What happens when the tape pops off? Should you try to sell it do you list it as MISB or MNRFB? Plus, the thought of moving all that sweet Joe goodness would give me an ulcer. I also wonder if "reseal" jobs are going to be a cottage industry because of the MISB prices. The other route is go AFA, and I do own a small number of graded pieces, but it is expensive and you still have the moving issue. AFA always irks me a bit because last time I checked there wasn't an International Toy Guild that certified the graders. I'm definitely not trying to dump on MISB collectors or AFA fans but more just explaining why MISB and AFA isn't really for me. |
