Title: Batman Holo Series Auction
Post by: Jesse on March 07, 2012, 09:55:36 AM
Just in case any body wants to pick up some unopened boxes of the Batman Holo Trading Cards to try to grab the rare Holo OverPower cards that come with them, I thought I'd post this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1996-FLEER-SKYBOX-BATMAN-HOLO-SERIES-WAX-BOX-LOT-3-ALL-HOLOGRAM-TRADING-CARDS-/220968106959?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3372b9bbcf

Not a bad lot, if you're interested.

I'd buy it but these sellers are anti-Canadian for some reason. This guy as well as surf_city_comics and a lot of other people.

You're lucky if you get 3 holos from this lot, but you could end up with 0, but you're expected to get at least 1 with this lot since the holos came in 1:72.

EDIT:
The amount of work? needed to open all the packs and the stack of Batman Holoseries you get afterwards isn't worth it if the auction price ends up high. You're pretty much guaranteed to get one set of the silvers which resells for about $20 at most. Gold is a long shot with only 72 of them and needing to get 50 to complete a set, that's worth significantly more. Selling individuals might net you some extra revenue from the purchase, I sold off a bunch of Golds and Blues with my last foray into Holoseries (which landed me an Batman: Avenger).

Jack, if you want to grab this, when it gets closer to time I could put in your bid for you with you paypaling me back after the purchase - the only catch would be the additional shipping cost you would get hit with when I ship it over to you.  Just a thought -so you know you have the option.

That's very kind of you but I'll probably pass, seeing how these will probably end much much higher than what I would price them at.

Right, if by some chance they dont and the auction starts to get closer to ending and you change your mind - just shoot me a message on here or FB.

We'll see. I'm reevaluating my financial situation right now and it looks a bit grim.

I understand that - especially if you're collecting OP and going to school. Full circle of money wanting to leave the bank  :)

I will probably try to pick these up. It's a gamble, but would be fun.

Good Luck! I hope you manage a couple Holos at least if you get the lot.


*Edit: I did find out today that a friend of mine is going to bid on this  -  so the two of you may be battling it out, lol.

Hey Kal-El did you pick these up? I meant to ask you that when it ended but forgot.

I know my friend had his hat in the ring in the beginning but he dropped out pretty early.

I did not. Got too rich to take a chance on.
