So what you're saying is there's still a chance that X-Factor #1 could blow up?!

Yes, or maybe something else that you collected. (Who know? Twenty years from now, Disney could release an X-Factor trilogy into the Marvel cinematic universe.)

90s kids aren't yet adults, though. :nyah:

Only if you wrap it around a stick of dynamite

In some societies, you don’t reach peak maturity/adulthood until your 50’s 🤷‍♂️😂

There's no bouncer keeping immature adults out of places because they're not 50... except maybe the Golden Corral buffet senior discount.

That seems extremely young to me. Keeping your childhood comics into your thirties isn't particularly challenging. otoh centenarians who still have their old comics have definitely achieved something. And most people would agree that centenarians are adults. How could someone seventy years younger be considered an adult?

21 is the legal age to drink in America. So I consider that adulthood personally lol.

Sure, but you have to be at least 35 to be President.

Well that’s certainly a new guide for adulthood 😂. The age one can become President is when they reach maturity 😂😂😂. I think drinking age will do fine 🤔. Here’s what the US considers an adult.

I know I'm being silly, so I just want to clarify for everyone reading this that my basic point is just that people who were 90s kids don't yet have old enough collections to see any substantial value yet. I was born in 1968 and did nearly all of my collecting from around 1977 to 1987. I turned 30 in '98, and there really wasn't a huge amount of value in my collection back then. But now I'm starting to see huge gains. To give one example that's relevant to this thread, my TMNT #1 first edition (recently graded at 9.6) is at least an order of magnitude more valuable today than in 1998, probably substantially more. It's really too early to know for sure what the ultimate value of certain 90s titles will be, so don't throw them out. Pack them away somewhere secure, and then revisit them after you retire.

ZJust finished watching 2 hours of those YouTube videos...thanks guys! doh!

...you know, cuz I have no self control...

It happens to all of us. The Internet literally sucks us in lol 

These are all staged, and even though I know that, they’re still fun to watch. I wasn’t quite sure until I spoke to Greg Reece. He was on the show a while back and confirmed this. Of course, Torpedo didn’t mention green labels, the possibility it could be lower, etc. It’s crazy. 
 

I love Kevin and the way he tells the story of the turtles. He’s one of the nicest dudes!!!!

Definitely a bit blurry here and really can't see that much from these 2 photos.  :p

Easy fix though if you simply email your family members and ask them to tear that book out from that horrid looking holder and take a picture of the real goods for us.  lol

Well, I suppose if you want to pool your money with the other people in this thread and send me $35,000, I could probably open up the slab and send you some fairly nice photos of it. hm
