Of course, I should have hinted that a lot of rarely seen promo cards could be appearing on the auction website since he announced that he was not going ahead with the Guinness Book of records classification due to their requirements.

I see a few Marvel Universe Toy Biz cards have sold for $500 a piece.

Here's a link to the Wolverine promo that sold:

Just going through the cards he has sold, and the cards he has for sale, is like a walk through a promo museum.

We're seeing some Marvel cards are still selling at high proces. I just looked at a Marvel Masterpieces 24-card press sheet of prototypes that sold for $394.72 on March 19. PCE2008 listed its going-rate at $35.

Two thousand six hundred of these were printed and some number of those were given out at the 13th National in 1992. Below is a link to the sale which might disappear within the next 6-7 days.

I see a Monkees IT-3 promo sold for $49.99 on June 26. That's the most I've ever seen it (or any of the other Cornerstone Inside Trader promos) go for.

I ran across this auction a couple of days ago before it ended earlier today. For the benefit of those who read this after the link to the auction expires, it was a lot of 17 uncut sheets including 5-6 Comic Images case toppers, Fathom 4-card sheets, and a Sorayama 3-card panel (the 3-card subset inserted 1 per box). It was at only a couple of bucks then and I thought about putting in a bid in case no one else got in. Two bucks plus about 15 more for shipping would be a great deal but I got caught up in work and football so I didn't get in.

It ended at $112.38 with 7 bids. That surprised me. I predicted that it might end around $10 with someone getting an incredible deal but an early bidder bumped it up from around $16 to just over $100 before getting sniped late by a new bidder.

I hadn't seen the Sorayama 3-card panel before and wondered if it was one of those gifts Comic Images reserved for member of its collectors' club.

A complete set of the 1991 Marvel Comics staff cards, all 32, sold for some amount less than $ 500.00.

I doubt that a set of those ever appeared on ebay before.

A "101 Dalmatians" SW1 sold for $400 on Feb 18. That's the most I've seen it go for.

It seems the Dragonball holofoil promo has rebounded in value after dropping from a high during the pandemic. One sold for just $30 just over a year ago. I see a few recent sales (last 90 days) in what appears to be roughly the $75-100 range (two Best Offer sales less than $88) with one PSA 9 (Mint) having sold for $189.

Star Trek VHS tape insert set of 80 cards sold for almost $1,000. That's a new high for that set.

eBay item number:266837438308

Interesting...and the seller stated outright that the cards are EX+ or better so some of them at least are a little bumped or worn. It appears that the buyer already understood that those cards were tough to get NM or better from the start so condition was not paramount.

The set got 6 bids with 3 different bidders and the first bidder sniped it late.

I assumed that just about everyone that would want that set already had it so it surprised me that it went for that much. It's true that it would be a tough set to build now. Sellers still want as much as $25 per card or more with some collectors going for just their favorite episode cards. When you think about it, it was a good deal to get it in one shot for just under $1000.

Thank you.

Thanks John,
This was a best-offer auction. I'm looking for the actual ending price below the listed amount.

I don't see that the buyer made an offer. It looks like it sold as a BIN for about $317 USD. Oh man, that's a crazy price. I guess the buyer had to have it at that moment and had money to burn. It's one of those cards that isn't always available, but if you watch for it for a while, you'll find one and for a reasonable price.

Thanks for that Jess. I hadn't noticed. Who buys a card with BIN when the seller encourages the buyer to submit an offer? Especially with those numbers.

I see that a Mr. Fixitt promo sold for $20 on July 10. It's a rather obscure card generally for completist collectors and has been more of a $1-2 card since it was new. However, I've seen this happen before with oddball promos. Someone sees something previously unseen and just jumps on it without checking for a cheaper one.

No, I haven't done that...in the past few weeks anyway.

I see an even rarer blank-backed variant of the Dragonball holofoil promo sold for $249.99 on July 27. I had one of those years ago but sold it later for around $10. I've looked for another one but haven't seen one in years until spotting this sale today.

I just saw that a 9-card set of those Mars Attacks model kit cards (Topps/Screamin' Products, Inc., 1995) sold for $50 on 12-24-24 and then another one went for $40 a couple of days ago. In 2020 I noted in another thread that a set went for $170. PCE2008 has the cards going for $40 EACH back in 2008. That's a big drop.

The model kits were not cheap when they hit the market I remember seeing the space ship one stickered for $100-125 in a local hobby store in the late 90's. I think the other kits were more like $60-75 but I should add that they were very high in quality. There were 8 different ones. You could get the 9th card (marked as a "bonus card") only by redeeming a coupon from each of the model kits. At the time it seemed only a diehard Mars Attacks fan was going to go for that.

I noticed that the seller had multiple sets so we might imagine some kind of deal having been made at some point in the past 25-30 years in which a seller agreed to buy several sets of kits and got some cards thrown in or maybe some uncut sheets that were later cut up for singles. Maybe the seller has had them that long or perhaps more likely, acquired the sets as part of a large lot very recently and is pricing everything to sell fast and still make a modest profit.

I also saw that a printer's proof uncut sheet (18 cards, 2 of each one) of the cards sold for $99 on 12-13-24. In 2020 I saw one go for $79.

A Marvel Masterpieces 2 unnumbered "Venom" promo sold for $189 on 1-14-25.

This is the card said to exist as two variants: one with black text on the back; the other with gray text and it says "P8" as well.
