Had a long day today. Thanks for the huge laugh.

Mullins5- Sorry about your cards. Big disappointment.

Stingray

Fairwell and adieu to you fine Spanish ladies.

Was Tender Is The Night originally issued in that maxi size?

Tying in another thread:

I believe Jaws 19 is due out next summer

72skywalker

Which was worse: Jaws 3 or Jaws 4? Both are horrible but I think 4 was embarrassing to the franchise.

Edited to ask if these are From Jaws 1 but in 3d form or from the 3rd 3d movie?

Show me the way to go home....Im tired and I wanna go to bed

I had a little drink about an hour ago and its gone right to my head

MiniDuff

Hooper, stop playing with yourself...

bigdcards

I appreciate a man that understands there is no good reason to separate multiple jaws 3D boxes from multiple copies of To Kill a Mockingbird.

Are there some x-out boxes and some non x-out boxes? I thought it was an all or nothing deal on that.

I don't think there was a jaws 1 set. There's a jaws 2 box, but it has regular wax packs. I think these are Sealed like 83 topps Michigan

JWBlue

I am always amazed things like this still exist.

ReggieCleveland

Yup, there is no Jaws 1 set. Which is a travesty as I'd probably be focused on that set more than anything else in the hobby. There is a Jaws 2 set from 1978, which is still acceptable because Chief Brodie is in it, alas no Quint or Hooper. These cards are from Jaws 3.

And yes, Jaws 4 is an abomination and I think we would all appreciate it if no one brought it up ever again. Thanks.

Are you going to rip the case? I'm not sure I've ever actually seen a card from this set.

(and I'll take any opportunity to post scans of my late-1970s boxes)

lou gossett be kidding me!!!

Six boxes are not marked with an X. I'm planning on keeping those unopen.

itzagoner - hilarious! Thanks for the laugh.

GDM67 - no, that "Tender" is the original pre-publisized serialized magazine that is rebound with a custom facsimile dust jacket.

72skywalker - these are Jaws 3D cards from the 3rd movie which was in 3-d.

ReggieClevland - is that your box? NICE! I'm going to rip all of the X-boxes and try to build a high grade PSA set. It's going to be difficult because the back borders are black. There's also 6 cards per pack and two are destroyed because the gum is packaged in the middle. The cards are also terribly centered. Figure it'll take about a case to get a mint set.

Here's some pics of the cards. I hate the fronts but LOVE the 3D backs!

An update:

I bought this case for $300.

Sold 7 of these boxes for $200 and still have 10 for sale.

I'm keeping the 6 unremaindered (without black X) ones for my personal collection.

After fees I'll eventually break-even or come out slightly ahead with this case AND still be able to keep the 6 for my collection.

I wanted to bump this thread to show people some success who may be contemplating a case purchase from BBCE. You may be able to break even or come out ahead and keep a few for your PC.

Nice work. I think that you and I have the same approach to collecting....making the hobby self-funding by selling items at a profit to offset purchases, grading costs, etc. Some people get worked up when they see someone buy something and resell if for a profit but I don't get it.

I remember being embarrassed by how bad Jaws 4 was when I saw it in the theatre. I think I was 12 years old.

+1

Nice job on the score and resales.

Stone193

Not bad Patrick.

I just did the math - I'm assuming it's a 24 box case?

When you said "beach bummed", it reminded me of someone who used to be here years ago - Beachbum. Mike was an interested guy who - as I recollect - was trying to corner the market on on Cole Hamels.

I'm guessing you mean $20 a box? Not $200.

wrestlingcardking

I assume he sold 7 for $200 so it was really just under $30 a box.

lol.

Yes sir, 24 boxes.

$20 to $40/box has been what I've been selling them for, sorry for the confusion guys!
