    Lucky you and best of luck! I have a tracking number, however it still says USPS is awaiting pick-up/awaiting the package.  Has been like that since Friday.

    I've seen 6 or so, and there have been a high frequency of TOTD SF, Berlin 2012, Prague-Katowice 2000, etc.  Only 1 sighting of something "good" so far as Dave mentioned - one of the "Handful" of gold Transformers

    Thanks for posting the photos 😀

    A few nice posters.  Mostly filler though.  God bless them for selling them out.

    Easy pass.  And they sold out...
  • ZAPPERZAPPER Posts: 246
    It would have been nicer if there was a chance at more “gems”. Instead, the tubes are packed with stuff they cant sell otherwise. I love Ames bros but seriously these tubes should have been $100. 250 is outrageous, but i understand they did not force anyone to buy.

    once i saw the list i was definitely out.  i'm sure it would've sold out on me anyway, but i'm absolutely reading the list first.

    Pretty much all of them that I've seen posted on FB were s/n prints.

    Thanks. $60/per seems pretty reasonable to take a cut at some whales.
