I have a little of a dilemma. I've purchased quite a few mosc POC,30th, FSS,and con exclusive figures over the last year or so,and well...I'm an opener I know a lot of guys like the package art as well as the file cards,me not so much. Honestly they're just toys to me,and I could care less. It's just clutter,and a fire hazard to keep around IMO. the newest thing I recently purchased is a NF Lady Jaye that's "signed by Mary Macdonalid Lewis (voice of Lady Jaye) Larry Hama (G.I.Joe Comics Writer) Kirk Bozigian (Former Hasbro G.I.Joe Brand Manager) and Bill Ratner (Voice of Flint)" according to the auction when I bought it,lol. I'd feel a little bad destroying something like this,but these card backs are really starting to stack up! and I'm not sure what to do with them. what do my fellow openers do in this situation? I'm probably going to open this figure soon..so I figured I'd ask.

I am as against toy speculating and MOC collecting as they come dude... but even I think you maybe should pick up an unsigned version of that and maybe let someone who really wants that thing signed, MOC to pick it up off you.
If you have that much scratch laying around to pick up FSS and con stuff with then an unsigned one shouldnt be that hard to pull. Just my take I dont wanna seem bossy. I would for SURE open a non signed one. |

See! I've actually cracked open graded stuff before! Yes! I know,I'm not proud of it.just at times I get a decent price for stuff like that,and figure why not? Obviously nobody wanted it? It sat on ebay for at least two days,and the last one sold for around $140,that was unsigned. I best offered the seller a little more then half of what that one sold for,and he took it! so,it's a toy again when I own it.. Last edited by Contraband; 07-17-2014 at 04:46 PM.. |

If it were me, I'd keep that one MOC and buy another to open! I don't normally do MOC, but I do make exceptions. Otherwise, if it were me, I'd also consider carefully opening it but framing the card. However, if you don't want the card, I'd certainly consider buying it.

I actually did burn a butt ton of Star Wars cards and card inserts yesterday. I was cleaning out the closet and making room and found about a two foot square box of Star wars cardbacks and inserts going all the way back to about the Saga collection. No VCT/ VOTC but a LOT ...like maybe 2 or 3 houndred of them. Thought breifly about ebaying them but didnt feel like the hassle and started a brush fire to burn off some woodfall with them. I think i was saving them for PoPs in case a mail away premium happened, I think the last one I actually did was Rex, Nader Vebb.
OOPS I hope no one wanted that shit! |

Scarcity? Pffff...even the exclusives are mass produced. I just wanted her for a long time,and ran out of stuff to buy on ebay. I was on my umpteenth steel brigade delta,or grapple attack black widow,and thought,if this dude takes this I'm going for it,and he did |
