Hi Nic, it looks on my quick glance that the offer you got is reasonable/quite good.
It looks like you don't have complete insert sets plus the cards you have aren't 1995 or 1996 Marvel Masterpieces which command a premium.
Unfortunately I don't chase the cards you have so I would follow...
Nice pulls esp the Dual Auto!
The sketch looks like it might be Mitch Ballard. His work is in demand so good pull there!
The Ant-Man movie and product is underrated IMO.
Out of the 3 (Cap America, Doctor Strange and Marvel Gems) think Marvel Gems has the best chase/inserts.
Looks like a pretty nice product IMO.
Definite oversupply which is not going to help prices in the short-term.
Yeah it is a pricey set but I like the coin and costume cards and like you, would love to snag a Cumberbatch Auto (loved Sherlock :)
Don't think many people are fans of the prescription style autos but I do like the code name letter autos. The costume autos are also ok.
Haven't bought any...
Wow, you did well off the 1996 Marvel Masterpieces box for $30 AUD!
You will find that that particular box will go for around $1000 or so USD now.
Pretty good return :)
If you were thinking of selling it, probably get more flogging it as an unopened box.
If you opened it and made a complete...
Great thread btw :)
1. Are you planning on increasing/decreasing the amount of non-sport you collect/buy in 2016? Why?
Have been wanting to decrease but doesn't look like happening. Keep finding new stuff to buy lol eg 2015 Dinosaurs.
2. What set/s are you most looking forward to in 2016?
Not...
Hi mate, because some of them are not complete sets, will be difficult to get much for them. I look on ebay for Mortal Kombat and they unfortunately don't go for very much.
I'd check ebay to get a fair idea, have a look at completed sales as well.
Wow Andrew, that is some collection!
I see you have a couple of illustrated Auto Hobbit Plates, I know the actual Illustrated Auto go for quite a bit as they are rare so nice work :)
Ebay :) That's where I buy all my cards. Even with US $ appreciation and shipping, will be cheaper than what stores sell for IMO.
Also you get many dealers busting open cases so they will sell base set/some chase/inserts very cheaply.
2014 Premier prices have come down substantially from the beginning and have affected 2012 Premier as well. Sketches do ok in 2012 but base cards are down a lot.
I think with Retro, PMG's will be ok but not sure on the other chase/inserts.
Wow, you don't muck around :)
17 out of 42 already is pretty good and the prices you are paying aren't that high.
Good luck in completing the set, probably not a bad thing that you may have to take a breather as it may come down further due to UD cannibalising 2013 Retro similar to what...
