What are the toughest cards to get in order ?

[Mikey]

Some people follow the cards closely - trends, want/trade lists etc.

Just wondering ....

What are the toughest Mego Museum cards to get in order of toughness.

Note, i'm avoiding using the term "rare".

Perhaps the top 10 toughest cards (in order) ... leave stickers OUT.

I know you don't want to hear about stickers, but the SLIME sticker is the Holy Grail. From what I've found, Green Goblin and Penguin are the most difficult, with Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne and Peter Parker a close 2nd. 1st edition Spider-Man, Superman and Wonder Woman a little difficult, too; but people still have them for trade now and again. Anything non-WGSH seems to be fairly attainable still at this point.

Why leave stickers out? They are the toughest MMs cards to get
Like Richard just said, Penguin is tough and so is the Goblin and the 1st prints. I would say any of the WGSH cards are starting to dwindle in supply though. and yes weren't the AE cards a mego meet exclusive?

Why leave stickers out?

I left the stickers out because i've met a few people who are interested in collecting and completing the cards but dont have any interest in the stickers at all.

That makes me think they are a seperate entity

Hello,

Some of the WGSH are really tough to obtain. Anybody got a penguin or green goblin they would like to trade?

Thanks,

I think any of the Superheroes cards are extra hard find after that everything else is cake! aside from the Stickers

The hardest to find, like toys, are the ones you don't have.

That's pretty much where I am at. I was a HUGE football card collector for many years back in the 80's and I still dabble in it. I have a 1969 Topps FB set that I am ALMOST finished with. I have been very picky with condition, that's why it is taking so long. Anyway, that interest in FB cards made me naturally interested in the MM cards when I first logged on here. However, the stickers do not hold any great interest for me. I have two or three but do not feel the need to get them all, like I did with the cards.

That's actually good news for you, since quite a few members are having a tough time finding all the stickers, gives you something juicy to trade...

I agree about the stickers.
I started trying to collect both sets last January (so just over a year ago), and I have NEVER even seen a sticker. Never had one offered to me, only saw them here on the boards where guys will trade sticker for sticker.

So I will offer this here for anyone with extra stickers that might need 1 or 2 cards (although my set isn't complete, it's about 90% complete)--I will pull any of the hard cards listed in this thread from my set and trade anyone of them for ANY sticker (besides the last one)! Of course I have lots of traders as well, but for me, I want those stickers and will gladly trade cards to get them!

Getting a Penguin was a tough one for sure,sent more time tracking him down than any others.

I'm suprised to her nothing about it hard to getting the errors.

I'm suprised to her nothing about it hard to getting the errors.

I think the errors were printed in about the same quantities as a lot of the other cards. Since there was an additional card printed to fix the error (and since many people don't collect the error cards), I would think that would make them easier to find than a different card printed in the same quantity without the error because there wasn't a second print to fix the mistake which effectively doubled the print run...at least in the eyes of someone who didn't care about the variation.

From what I've seen (not including stickers OR 1st Prints of 1-3), if you asked for a TOP 10 list of most difficult to find cards, I would say:

1. Penguin
2. Green Goblin
3. Falcon
4. Human Torch
5. Clark Kent
6. Bruce Wayne
7. Dick Grayson
8. Invisible Girl
9. Speedy
10. Batgirl

This list is just based on my experience and what I've noticed that people are looking for compared to what people have available, so it's really rough and I'm open to correction. I should also point out that there may be some Star Trek cards that are at least as difficult if not more difficult to find than Batgirl, but I thought since 1-9 were WGSH, I'd stick to that rather than try to determine the one most difficult to find Star Trek card.

I think the rarest cards are the convention Spider-man and Superman. If I remember correctly they where a much lower run of something like 500.
