There are other valuable things I have that would probably hurt my heart to sell (autographed jimi hendrix album, autographed power glove, various comics) much more than this did.


Completely off-topic... but who signed your Power Glove? Please say it was Lucas...

Congrats on the sale. I think you did the right thing... but then, I'm perfectly content with a cheap reproduction of Stadium Events, so maybe I'm in the minority around here.

I am also a variant hunter and if I collected sealed only then I'd never be able to collect variants.


Looks like the "sealies" have claimed you as one of their own



pretty sure it was the loose/cib guys calling him a sealie, actually.   Us sealies know better

At the end of the day I think the better way to break it down, in terms of how people relate to grade and price in any hobby, is:

1) collectors that look minimize cost - self explanatory

2) collectors that look to maximize value - they like high grade example but they aren't fixated on it and if the price is right will look at alternates.   "Bang for the buck."  

3) collectors that want the best example possible, screw the cost.   Probably even willing to just not collect something at all if they can't get the condition they want. 

E can speak for himself but I'd guess he's somewhere between 2 & 3 but leaning to 2.

Sealed collectors may very well out number CIB collectors some day, but I don't think they're even in the ball park yet.

I guess it depends on what you consider a CIB collector to be.  My brother for instance is often labeled a cart-only collector, but has well over 400 CIB games in his collection.  Sealed game?  None at the moment. 

I do not think sealed will ever outnumber CIB personally. Mainly due to scarcity and the financial aspects involved. I do think the sealed collectors seem to be more "in the spotlight" so they gain more notoriety, especially on collector sites such as this.
