Perna too? Wow. Haven't seen him on a set in awhile.

I have been pretty lucky. Seems like a sketch is in every purchase lately. And pretty decent too.

Congrats to everyone who is killing this release. . .

I've bought 2 more packs and still probably 20-something packs deep haven't hit anything -- my only flash was a Orange Pip the troll.

Ouch. Good to post the crapola with the home runs though.

I feel ya man. I'm 4 boxes and 4 packs into this release now and nothing too exciting here either. I need to phone a problem gambling helpline I think

I think even if you hit it is hard to kill on this release. I stopped at 15 packs with my 2 sketches and gold tier 4. The resale value doesn't seem there but the packs are selling.

btw...just making sure but there are no achievements for tier 4's correct?

Bought two more packs, my second pack was another What If only pack, but the first one had a nice Deathlok sketch by kurobhie - would be willing to trade for a Kitty Pryde or Black Cat sketch from this set or Anime - ePack ID is goatcollector2012

For any running into the "just one more" problem, I find it helpful for me to think "What else could I buy with this money". That box you broke because you were bored or had the itch could be a Nintendo Switch in your living room, or 4 boxes could be a top of the line PC video card or decent LCD TV. Helps me at least to put things in perspective.

Yeah, I keep thinking that I'm 'due' for something that doesn't suck - a tier 4, a sketch (based on sketch odds I should have hit at least one) or something that's worth at least the price of the pack, but I keep getting packs of tier 1s.

I am super happy it keeps throwing the error up, I would have spent way too much and I dont even really like most of the art, there are some really nice ones but I am much better off picking those up on the secondary market for a fraction of the price

Opened a lot, been lucky with parallels and that's fortunate... Emma Frost T4, What If, Wolverine T4, Fury & Deadpool Metallurgy, Storm & Black Cat Spectrum because on the other hand, apart from a Truong and a puzzle pulled (out of 15, which is not that bad I admit), most of the sketches are more than average for a high-end product

Tried 2 packs on the 1st day, only decent card was a Tier 4 What If, not sure if I undervalued it or someone over valued it but I traded it for a Juggernaut sketch, who I PC.
Yesterday I did a 1 packer, all What ifs, 2 lvl 1's and a lvl 2... was like WTF!
Today, did a 5 packer, thinking it has to be better than yesterday.
1st pack... all what ifs! again 2 1's and 1 2...
then it got better... an Elektra sketch and a Martinex Plate

plate and elektra sketch available FT or paypal.

A What If Tier 4 is a huge hit. $200+

So I under valued? But either way I am more than happy with the Juggy sketch I got in return.

Couldn't remember who the Tier 4 was, so I had to go back and look.... it was Martinex! So I have pulled the Tier 4 What if, and the Tier 4 What if press plate...

Crazy thing is people keep driving the price down on COMC for the resale value. Seems like a buyers market until it all dries up and if you bought the right stuff....then you may do well. I feel like some of my stuff is fairly priced and then someone comes in and undercuts my price by $5 bucks. Then it's just a vicious cycle of going back and forth until you end up selling for next to nothing for a very hard pull.

With that being said....take a look on my COMC and if you see anything you like, let me know (tons of sketches). I'm looking for PMGs, EX Century (Red/Purple) and Jambalayas in return.

You must be new to COMC. That's how these releases work.

Slightly off topic, but how are sales on COMC for releases like this? I've only sold on COMC once a few years back. Debating if I want to have them shipped to me and use eBay or use COMC.

You have the option for COMC to cross list on eBay. The only problem is you can't accept offers, BIN only. You can also have them run stuff on auction. I was a fan of using them to auction until the last grouping of items I put up. They sat there for 2 months(they're supposed to list once a week). I'd never use them to run an auction again. I keep saying I won't use them at all but when stuff like MM comes out and I can't keep my fingers out of the pie, it's just flat easier to use them for most small stuff.

PS. You're all welcome for my penny cards. All the other sells probably really hate me(I'm a fan of this as well ).
