8 boxes of Star wars galaxy 2
4 X-files season 1
6 xfiles season 2
6 wcw nitro
4 wcw embossed
10 Marvel universe 2
6 Marvel universe 3
8 marvel masterpieces

he wanted £2 a box.done me a deal cause i took them all.

£50 for the lot.took a punt!!all in massive cardboard boxes on the floor under tables..nearly missed them.the guy was over the moon to get rid of them.one mans junk and all that.Keeping them sealed and putting them away.happy days!

Thanks Wolfie.best thing is?hes got more at home.hes bringing them next week for me.cant wait!!

That's remarkable, you hardly ever hear of that anymore because its so easy to Google everything. Just the opposite really, sellers are more likely to want to price junk like its gold, than gold like its junk.

I miss the days when people didn't know what they had.

That is an awesome find! What year(s) are the Marvel Masterpieces?

Its says Marvel masterpieces 1995.pic of Xmen on the front.36 packs per box.also says

151 cards
22 canvas cards
8 holoflash
2 mirage cards
also states the odds of finding them!

That is may favorite year of Marvel Masterpieces. If you plan to open them please let me know. I need just a few cards to finish my sets. And really keep me in mind if you pull a Mirage card!

im keeping them sealed but if you want a box?please let me know??

As much as I would like one it is out of my price range and since I need so few cards the odds are not in my favor to pull a Mirage or a card I need.

Now if you want to make a killer ROI I would pay you 1000% over what you paid or £20

i cant find a price for a box anywhere,find it hard to believe they are worth much cause theres no sketch or autos in them..i thought thats why they were so cheap??

unopened boxes don't pop-up too often but they are a few hundred a piece at least. In older Marvel Masterpieces, 1996 is the rarest with 1995 right behind. The Mirage cards which fall 1:360 packs sell anywhere between $200-$300 on average.

Holy Moly!!! That is the find of the decade.

Just low-production driving the prices. NSU lists them at $255 a box, I wouldn't be surprised if you were able to get close to that. The 1996 ones are even more rare, hopefully he's got some of those for you too!

I might just have to fly over there to check the store before you go back!

I had no idea,im shocked!!

What did you say this guys name was again?

i will buy everything else he has,thats for sure!!cant wait.

im in touch with acouple of dealers who are interested.ive had my eye on some Star Trek,X-men and twilight zone autos for a while.a nice trade would be awsome!!

Quite a haul there, I managed to snag a box of the 95 Masterpieces something like 8 years ago or so and even then it cost me a good £50 but now they just don't ever show up.

There's no way to be sure of the price as they're so uncommon but you should try to avoid dumping them all in one go or you'll drive the price down. It's also probably a bad idea to break them all open in search of master sets and mirage cards (although there is some demand for the chase even if it's not the Mirage).

Been waiting years for that to happen to me!

Great find. I dream of coming across something like that at a car boo or charity shop. There's hope.....
