transformers case question

[crr9381]

Where is the best place to pick up a case of these? I am looking for either the 2007 release or the new release and didnt see it on blowouts website. Any suggestions?

[JohnfromtheBay]

I would probably say eBay for both releases. I picked two cases of the first movie off of eBay several months back for around 225-250, but looks like it has risen up in price in the recent months.

[crr9381]

thats what i figured, i just dont like buying boxes or cases off of there if there are any other options.

[JohnfromtheBay]

I would definitely recommend gotbaseballcards on eBay, since i did pull two Megan Fox autos out of two cases i purchase off of them :D

Ask Blowout if they can get it for you, chances are they can get you a case.

[crr9381]

thanks guys, will look into both of those things.

how tough are the megan fox autos to pull

how tough are the megan fox autos to pull

1 Fox auto in every 2 cases and she is the only auto in that set. I think you get an average of 3-4 sketches per case too, 3 if there is the auto and 4 if there is no auto. The other hits are all $1 costume cards.

I would refer you to this site: Transformers Movie (http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/allender/transmov.htm). It has a lot of non sport checklists, which can be very useful. It my two cases, I didn't pull one single costume card, which leads me to believe that the auto might replace all the costume cards.

actually, it's 2-3 sketches per case, and some have had 1. I opened 30 cases of this stuff and got 13 fox autos.

Also, some cases are "dead" cases and have no costume cards (no loss), but the sketches were there at the same levels: 2-3 per case.

I just took a stab and bought a case on ebay, I dont normally do non sports but really what sports cases can you get that has a card double the case price in every two cases

Can you actually get a case for $200, AND sell the Megan Fox for $400?

i got a case for 250... fox sells about 450 or so ... not exactly double but close enough

The sketches also sell pretty well. I sold my 4 sketches for $150.

of course the flip side to this is if you don't get the fox you are out $200-$220 of the $250.00.

yeah i know but i equate that to getting 3 80 dollar boxes of sports stuff and getting that awesome $2.00 auto hit

You must have had some killer sketches. In my 30 cases, I sold a couple for $50, a couple for $40, a lot for $30, even more for $20, $15, and $10 (the dreaded Hodges).

Listen I agree with you completely -- just wanted the other side represented. I think if you open in quantity, you can't lose (hence my opening 30 cases). I just warn against only opening one, because you have a 50% chance that you will lose over $200.00.

by the way did you ever find a case that had two megan fox autos in it?

[Tim]

lol -- this could mean any possible scenario since they are two different sources (not that you can't go 0 for 2 or 2 for 2 from the same source either.)

The sketches were pretty bad (One almost looked identical :eek:), two bidders just got into a bidding war :p Judge for yourself :)

I want whatever you are doing to get that kind of luck (getting $150 for those four sketches). Holy crap -- those would have gotten me about $80!

[HitDog44]

There must be a recent surge in Transformer sketch card values since the 2 in my case (Ramos and Ruffalo) went for a combined $110. Good luck on your cases, I have one coming more coming next week.
