I still have a bunch of them, but it's laughable to see them compared to the McFarlanes. Still cool to have in the packages though.The Lost Collectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07281282785351456790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-81116926657522775442011-08-08T21:14:19.102-07:002011-08-08T21:14:19.102-07:00John - I own the Macross series on DVD and VHS, bu...John - I own the Macross series on DVD and VHS, but haven't invested in the other series...

But... he's my favorite QB and I haven't been able to find one at the local retail stores.<br /><br />Scott - Never heard of Giovinco, but that's pretty cool that you met the guy. <br /><br />The cool thing about SLU price collapses is we're able to pick them up for dirt cheap these days. At least they're not like pogs... which collapsed and people still don't want them.<br /><br />BTW... I'm seriously jealous that you own an 88 Canseco & McGwire.<br /><br />Ryan G - No, I bought it from a couple near the food vendors. I saw the guy with the non-sports sets, but didn't buy anything.<br /><br />I almost considered buying the Ripken piece too... but I have one already. I hope he's back next month... b/c I might end up picking up a few more fb sets for $5 each... I just didn't have anywhere else to put them.<br /><br />sortingbyteams - yeah... i couldn't pass up that deal... worse case scenario, i sort them by teams and give them away as prizes... while keeping the sweet hologram set for myself.<br /><br />Chris P - thanks buddy... I'm a huge fan of the freeze frame figures myself. I now own the Nolan Ryan and Montana... I just need the Wayne Gretzky.<br /><br />Captain - If the packaging was damaged, I'd have no qualms about busting it open and giving you the card... but the package is about as clean as I'm going to find it.<br /><br />It's nice to see another guy out there who collects SLU trading cards too. I have over 75 in my collection... and it's slowly growing each year.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-79475250793456588482011-08-08T20:59:36.646-07:002011-08-08T20:59:36.646-07:001985 Robotech set A+ all you need is the Trilogy o...1985 Robotech set A+ all you need is the Trilogy of the best comic sci-fi series ever on DVD or Blue Ray<br /><br />2010 Rodgers incomplete or B?<br />1996 Star Wars incomplete?<br />1991 UD Football A+<br />Kenner SL - A<br />Pharaonic - incomplete<br /><br />Don't know too much about the incomplete itemsJohn Batemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14159036395402962119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-30064548756062997742011-08-08T20:53:43.921-07:002011-08-08T20:53:43.921-07:00I'll give you an overall grade of a B.

I reached the flea around 10 and left by noon.<br /><br />1: Did you buy it from the guy with all the non-sport sets? $2 for a full non-sport set is a good deal, though that set isn't my cup of tea. A- for me, A+ for you!<br /><br />2: It's tricky with McFarlane figures, and if you are going to the toy show this weekend then I would have waited. But recent figures aren't really going to be discounted. I think I saw that same dealer and considered some of the baseball figures, but I had to abstain for monetary reasons. B-; not too much of a discount, but still an okay deal.<br /><br />3: Star Wars can get expensive, especially the large figures - unless it's the Episode One figurines, which were grossly overproduced. Even the '90s stuff isn't hot, but the price you paid was fair. B+.<br /><br />4: I think you must have hit the flea after me, because I think I remember looking at that binder really quick, and since I don't do football I ignored it (or maybe that was another football binder). Book value means nothing - $5 for a full set plus some inserts is a good deal. If the binder is in quality shape, that's your $5 worth right there. A.<br /><br />5: I know what dealer you bought these from, because I bought a Cal Ripken SLU from him (convention exclusive) for $5. You paid the same as me, and while I would have liked paying less, the convention exclusive part makes $5 worth it. A.<br /><br />6: I know nothing about Yu-Gi-Oh, but since you're giving them away in class, $15 for 36 little prizes isn't a bad deal. I would have probably started at $10 and worked up, but $15 seems fair. B+ at least.Ryan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670458381967699663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-39846736458798515382011-08-08T20:33:48.082-07:002011-08-08T20:33:48.082-07:00The Macross purchase was awesome.

He's the guy who brought the Macross comics license over here first, so you're probably familiar with that much, at least. Nice dude, met him a lifetime ago at a local comics show.)<br /><br />I like the '91 f00'ball set (I ended up getting a LOT of f00'ball from that basic time period this weekend), and some of those SLUs are pretty good too (love the Namath and the Rice). I was just telling someone over the weekend, who asked me about the little bit of stock I own and whether I was worried about it: "Even if my stock becomes totally worthless, the collapse of Starting Line Up prices would still be a worse financial thing that I've weathered."<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />The Proud Owner Of The '88 Canseco And McGwire Figures (Ugh.)Scott Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01471846477103927644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-28772424438350272552011-08-08T20:33:44.149-07:002011-08-08T20:33:44.149-07:00Here's how I'd grade your purchases, but k...Here's how I'd grade your purchases, but keep in mind that I'm not much of a football or hockey fan:<br /><br />Purchase #1: 1985 Robotech Trading Card Set $2 A+<br />Purchase #2: 2010 Aaron Rodgers McFarlane $13 F<br />Purchase #3: 1996 Star Wars 12" Luke Skywalker & Obi-wan Kenobi Figures $16 B<br />Purchase #4: 1991 Upper Deck Football Set + Bonuses $5 B<br />Purchase #5: Various Kenner Starting Lineups $30 C<br />Purchase #6: Pharaonic Guardian Booster Box $15 D<br /><br />You got a really great deal on the Robotech cards, as far as I'm concerned. :)Paul Hadsallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16886355050567035004noreply@blogger.com
