    Some help for figure collectors, please.

    I think I'd be the one to disagree.  Although they aren't mint on card, they are mint in bubble.  And as the years go by, more and more collectors are paying insane amounts of money for actual MINT figures.  So as an example, a loose Star Wars Jawa might sell for $25-40 with his weapon.  But a Jawa sealed inside his bubble where there was no chance the kid rubbed the paint off his hands and his blister has no scrapes from going in and out of his hand might sell for $75-100.  Of course that same figure carded on a 12 back first issue U.S card that isn't cut and in mint condition is in the $600-900 dollar range.  But I'd say easily, figures that are still 'sealed' in their bubbles, regardless of how much card has been cut (as long as the figure has never been removed), are at least double the price of a 'loose/complete/NM' figure.  However asking 'thousands' for only 80 figures is probably not worth your time, so I would probably avoid them as well.

    After 38 years, FANGORIA magazine "officially" appears to be done.

    Wow, the end of an era.  I never missed an issue from about 1985 to about 1988 (age 12 to 15).  Bought them sporadically after that, I'll be honest haven't bought one in many years because of the cover price.  Sadly everything is already online much earlier (duh).  I still have my old issues, and I leaf through them from time to time.  It was a great mag in the 80's and 90's, but much like everything else print-wise, hard to keep it goin!
