Congrats VP on those new arrivals... Hey, if you ever change your mind about those trading cards, put me on your priority list... :mrgreen: I'm itching to open mine... The temptation is so, so great!

I'm contacting him about more...now that I see how awesome they are, I regret not buying a bunch of boxes. I figure some of his sales are private and may not have gone through or maybe he "found" more so you never know. If I opened a box I'd either shoot a video of me doing it or at the very least do pictures of every pack opened. The video would be funnier because if I got no rare cards I'll surely curse or throw something.

We may ran out of luck already. I have been in touch with him even after my sale with him. He told he has two more container totes to look at... But last time I asked him about it, he said there's nothing more. He did told me that there was a guy who bought 13 boxes from him... Maybe we can squeeze it out from him so that we can hunt the other guy. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I am at this struggle... While it may be NICE to keep this box sealed and forever be unknown what's inside it. To keep it "as is" as a collectible may well be rewarding in the long run... However, if we decided to open it and hit it big, then it may be "rewarding" as well. I just can't hold on much longer thinking "what could be in there" than letting it be... :cry: :cry: :cry:

Wow someone bought 13 that's crazy. Well, I'm satisfied with what I have I guess heh. Yes...there could be a signed Kojima card or PAL key card...it's killing you isn't it :evil:

Trust me though, a sealed box is worth what you'd get for 4-5 rare's, and you'd be lucky to get one.

I'd say open em if thier was a way you could actually display it nicely. But the whole binder thing is kinda wack, and i can't think of a way to put them in a frame and hang em up. I was gonna try and buy a shit load of em, and put em in sleeves then frame em but that sounds by far 2 retarded.


Honestly though even with the little bit of stuff i have i wouldn't sell anything i don't have doulbles of. If i had the box of cards i'd open atleast half of em. I remember gett'n some football box of cards and my dad is like keep them unopend it'll be worth a shit load in a few years, he comes out of the shitter and the box is ripped in half as i dig furiously for a farve rookie card. Didnt get one btw

I'd say, put them each in an individual hard plastic sleeve (called toploaders)

Image

then you take a frame (size depends on amount of cards you want to display) and arrange them in the order that you want. because these are hard plastic and they have a LITTLE bit of depth to them, they should not slide down on each other (but you can always put a little tape or w/e on the back to secure them).

frame up the frame! or even put it on the floor leaning against the wall (if its big).

I say open them and let me know if you get any Fox cards, I'll tear your arm off to buy them if they're the ones I need.

I bought ten sealed packs of cards once, and just before opening the last one said to my girlfriend at the time "seriously, this is bollocks, I should at least get a PAL key in one of these or something" and lo and behold, what popped out?

I nearly shit my pants.
