Baggies, the facts!

Price tags? Other than those giant florescent Two Guys and Lionel clearance tags, I dig them! Mego Talk

No stickers preferred, but not a deal breaker on a nice item.

I'll play Bennie the Box and I don't like price stickers when they are on the face of something, especially carded figures, but I do not mind them when they are on side panels of boxed stuff. It's kinda cool and depressing at the same time when you get to see what the stuff sold for. However, like Dan, I would prefer no sticker, but beggars can't be choosers as in my case with some of the stuff I gun for.

There, I think all covered all of the current thread topics

Oh, yeah. Restringing - don't have an opinion yet on that.

That's the second time today I have burst out laughing at work and everyone wanted to know what I was laughing at!

Dear Ocd'ers, Price sticker or no price sticker?

Not a deal killer, but no sticker is very much preferred, especially on more common items.

Dear Ocd'ers, Price sticker or no price sticker?

I dig price stickers as long as there not hideous

Don't lump restringing a T1 figure in with this argument - it's an entirely different concept. I know plenty of discriminating collectors who prefer that their T1s have original elastic. The process of taking a pile of T1 parts and restringing them with similar cord available from Joann's is a *repair.* Nothing OCD about it, and apples and oranges as far as this debate goes.

Personally, I don't care if my Superman has Cap boots, or if my Romulan has a Klingon phaser.

I thought I was the most OCD person here.

Someone wrote that if the legacy of all the parts means that much to someone, then collect packaged figures, not loose. I think there is a lot of validity to that thought. Of course, there are a whole host of other issues with collecting MOC or MIB.

On the Zorro sword, I don't mind if I knew it was an original Blackbeard, if they are identical factory made original vintage Mego parts that is fine by me. The exceptions might be the example given of the Parker Shoes where they have been replaced with AJ ones with pin holes. I wouldn't get all anal about it but, if you can tell, then there lies the problem.
