Do you know what QH pieces will be offered?

That's pretty neat.

As the owner of a distillery, I am always watching for antique whisky bottles. Really, you own a distillery?

I am amazed you got a DiTerlizzi. I picked up his art book at Gen Con last year.

No, just NES, SNES and N64 games. It looks like that there are 1 or 2 famicom games. What are they?

I would love to see what Kirk Hammett has in his collection that has not been shown on TV yet. I wonder if he still has the comics too.

Thanks for the reminder! Since you took some advice from me from that earlier thread, I am committed to buy it. I will see if my comic shop will get it in for me.

A lot of those books look like they are in a lot nicer condition than I am used to.

And yet no pics

This dude got an 18 month ban from sanctioned magic for this. I'm guessing he thinks it was worth it. That ban has either been lifted or it has ended by now. One of those two. Go to any gaming convention and you see this.

I don't like the way the auction is worded. I would be very suspicious of what I would be receiving and how authentic it is.

That's not a book! That's a coffee table book that turns into a coffee table. That's a really cool find. What does the inside of that box look like? Anything special?

Wow, even bought the sign too! That takes gusto.

Izzat the recalled version on the Mad Millennium edition? I never knew that it was ever recalled, now I need to check my copy... Thanks for the info.

Quite interested in those MTG cards. Early sets, how early?

Speaking of world champ cards, the cards that are designed by winners like Solemn Simulacrum or Snapcaster Mage, do those players get the original art too?

While I would not spend thousands on these new pieces of art I will admit that they are very beautiful pieces and don't come off as too geeky/high fantasy, which a number of MTG cards really show. It seems that for these masterpiece cards or whatever they were calling them, they are really trying to amp up the art, keeping it within the realm of MTG, but making it just different enough to where it seems more like higher art. Very happy that someone posted on this site that $10 ebay coupon a week or so back so I could get a booster box for about $80

afa started in 2002 or so...hasn't really caught on outside of some star wars folks (and even then, they kind of got a black eye missing some fakes)... I was always curious about it cause I saw some unopened boxes of lego sets and thought it was a pretty different thing to encapsulate. But if someone wants to pay a premium for an unopened and graded box of legos then I would gladly let them. Since that did not catch on is there any preferred way of protection that was embraced by the toy community? Also, why are starting line up figures so worthless now?

Gator, since you also dabble in toys, what is your feeling about those grading companies that grade toys in boxes? Do you think it will catch on like comics?

No pic of the 4 pack?

In a hobby such as comics and related memorabilia it is nice to know that something hellishly rare can be obtained for under $1K. That is what I loved about MAD magazine back in the day. Something incredibly rare would be in the hundreds but even then I was too cheap or poor to buy it.

Is there a good story to go with how you obtained this what I guess would be a mini grail?

Were those boxes worth it?
