    Scored a grail piece!

    Man did the toy gods shine down on me last week. I scored this grail piece on eBay....



    It's a purple back....



    Now for the insane part, what I paid.......

    $13.00


    CRAZY. I thought for sure something would be wrong when it arrived, but nope, it is the real deal, still sealed. Has some card creasing, but nothing too major, lightly crushed bubble corner, and light price tag residue. Not mint, but I don't give a crap, especially for $13.00!!!!

    I am a huge Green Arrow fan, and have wanted a carded one for as long as I can remember, but never thought I would own one, because, well, I am not rich.

    The only two reasons I can see that this went so cheap, is A, there was no mention of Mego in the title or description, and B, it was listed in a doll and bear category. It was barely viewed.

    It all seemed WAY too good to be true, and I thought for sure something shady was a foot.

      Hidden Auction = Good for you. Bad for Brue. I will pay you $14 for it.

                      I think more like a couple thousand or more

                        This is amazing! Thanks for sharing the good luck vibes here. Man, $13 is so insanely cheap it's as close to 1970s as we'll ever see. Congratulations!
                        Didn't GA carded sell for like $5-8K? Or is that Ironman who went for $8K?
                        Anyhow, WOW!
                        I am smiling and nobody knows why over here! I'll go tell them and they might "get it"

                          It's easily worth 5K, but with the purple back, maybe more.

                          That is, before the economy tanked. Who knows.

                              CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!! Putting the hard work in certainly has paid off. Many pieces in my collection I could never have afforded at collectors prices so I understand being on a budget very well. SWEET VICTORY!!!!!!!
