NOOB question

[Simplyrob]

hey guys! glad to be here. hopefully you guys can help me out. its probably been a dozen years or so since I've collected MEGO figures actively (kids got in the way), but, i have an opportunity at a beautiful collection including some rare carded figures. whats the market like these days for MOC unopened 70's superheroes? i know that IM is really rare, but, how rare exactly? is green goblin as rare? what are the other htf figs from those series? thanks in advance for the help! cheers, rob.

It may work better if you could post some pics or at least provide a list of the figures you have a chance to buy and the asking price. Then everybody can chime in as good deal or bad deal and give you an idea of their value.

IM and GG are definitely on top of the rare list, at least in terms of desirability, and Spider-Man and hulk usually sell for the lest in my observation. Outside of something like the french ff4 figs.
Good luck

Consider sending a message to member Dumbledor; he's well-informed on carded WGSH.

There's also a sub-forum in the Auction Watch discussion, called The Going Rate, which summarizes completed auction results on specific items.

Welcome & happy collecting!

Yeah pictures would help and condition is everything when it comes to carded figures year dates,which figure it is...but yeah pictures with prices would help and we can tell you if its a good idea or not.. Welcome

Yeah if you can get pictures that would be cool and easier to put a price on them

I'll be honest, I totally bought the collection.

EDIT: will post pics shortly.

How much you spend if you dont mind me asking and are the boxed figures and carded figures original or on repro cards?

[Simplyrob]

All original packaging. As close to case fresh as possible Id think. I posted pics in a different thread.

How much you end up spending on this collection if you dont mind me asking
