I remember I used to spend all my allowance each week buying a new figure from the local Jamesway.

I recently purchased some basketball starting lineup figures, and my first impulse was to unbox them, as how much will a Michael Cage or Kevin Willis in a beat up box appreciate in value. But now I'm not sure.KO Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09263392736341101059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-87481184292743561092016-10-06T18:17:12.488-07:002016-10-06T18:17:12.488-07:00Congrats on completing your quest!
