  1. That is pretty cool. I love seeing this stuff maintained in its original packaging.
  2. bonus rarity for conflict free diamond?
  3. Is there any information on distribution numbers for which of these variants are more rare? I understand Mark Jewelers were only sold by military bases, though I am unsure of the years that this was happening. Many thanks to all the experts with the info.
  4. They are back. Generation 11 sets as follows Star wars life day #1 x 1 Hawkeye Kate bishop #1 x 2 Amazing spider-man #79 x 3 Captain America Iron man #1 x 1 Star wars crimson reign #1 x 1 Venom #2 x 2 Star wars high republic #2 x 3 Black pathner #1 x 3
  5. Itching for the new packs to come out, they have to be due sometime soon based off of the previous releases.
  6. When did those come out? I have never thought to stop in a 5 bellow for comics. Do they get them in regularly?
  7. Opened up some 7 for 10 packs visible title is all the way over to the right.
  8. Just keeping up with them as I open packs nothing too great lately.
  9. Went a little nutty on opening up some 3 packs. Some decent hits. The book on the far left is the Visible book in the pack. Like if you swiped left to right to spread out the books in the package.
  10. I opened up my Aliens 7 for 10 repack and found that the Aliens 3 pack was still sealed inside with Gen 7 label. I also got an ASM 62. Finally I got another sealed 3 pack Black Widow Widows Sting 3 Pack Gen 4. I always though the 7 for 10 were just singles. I am thinking of keeping the 3 packs sealed.
  11. I just saw this one on a pack with AMAZING SPIDERMAN 26 as the visible comic. So this may be the earliest label. That books is from 04-2017 so I am guessing this may be the first set of 3packs. Can anyone confirm?
  12. I was thinking was it may be useful to keep track of which sticker is which Generation of these books. It appears that they come out in batches, and it appears that after the batch they may change the sticker. This is all just working speculation, so anyone can shoot down what I am saying. I think it goes as follows. Update: As makes design sense I have moved the Light blue Thor, black panther, Dr. Strange full body icon to Gen 6 and shifted the Gray Spider-Man, Venom, Spider-Gwen, Wolverine Heads from Gen 6 to 7. Finally moving the off white hulk, Spider-Gwen, Iron Fist Heads from Gen 7 to Gen 8. This makes more sense as the stickers went from design of full body to just the Heads. I found the evidence within the 2 releases of Strange academy. Strange academy 1 first WalMart release with the Red Title came out in 05/2020 and it had the Light blue Thor, black panther, Dr. Strange full body icon. The Strange academy 1 2nd Wal Mart Print with the Blue Title Came out in 01-2021 and it has what is now the Gen 7 Sticker of Gray Spider-Man, Venom, Spider-Gwen, Wolverine Heads. I also added the Star Lord / Captain America Spider-Man fully body icons on blue backdrop as Gen 0. The only book I have found with this is Guardians of the Galaxy Dream On 04-2017 release date, no cover date & All New Wolverine 19 Also 04-2017 release date with no cover date. So making an educated guess that this was the first batch. Generation 0 ??-2018 Generation 1 12-2018 Generation 2 04-2019 Generation 3 07-2019 at the same time Generation 3 came out 07-2019 Marvel 7 for $10 repacks came out, guessing this is repacking the first two Generations Generation 4 11-2019 Generation 5 / X / Pandemic show! 01-2020 Who knew how different the world would get. Generation 6 05/2020 Generation 7 12-2020 Generation 8 02-2021 Generation 09 08-2021 An interesting side note is it appears that the 7 for 10 reappears around the same time in 07/08-2021 Generation 10 12-2021 Please correct me on stuff if I am wrong. I am thinking that there is some reference value in keeping track of this stuff.
  13. The plot thickens. So this may be a bad sign if the Wal Mart packs are no longer going to have the possibility of high ratio incentives within them. I am sure that was something which was driving up prices. I will admit that is what started me looking for these. I have been in wal mart more in the past year than I have since the late 90s when I was in college. It would be interesting to find out what company is doing the repackaging for Marvel and Wal Mart. Are they doing this for any other retailer?
  14. Just got a new 3 pack Death of Doctor Strange was visible. I also got the 2nd printing of X-Factor 10 Death of Scarlet Witch, too bad like all comic tropes she did not stay Dead. And finally Star Wars War of the bounty hunters Jabba The Hutt #1 2nd print 1st app. of Deva Lompop. Overall not bad for 3 books and I had the fun of opening it.
  15. Thanks for the reply. Killer profile photo as well. Just saw Dead and Co @ Wrigley fun shows.
  16. Yeah the book is not worth the 40.00 to get it pressed and graded. I am just trying to expand my knowledge of major defects and how CGC has graded them in the past. Many thank for sharing
  17. I have a Morb ius #3 with a 1/4" puncture through the whole book. The rest of the book is a strong NM. I was curious how ove r street, or CGC would grade this?
