The shipping calculator said $7.14 for me.
It is scary to recall those days when I would see Magnus 12 and Harbinger 0 Pinks for over $100 at shows.
I was seeing Harby Pinks for over $200 during the peak (glad I sent away for mine). And what about all the golds? Yeeesh! I was never planning on getting any of those..... that is until the crash and I was picking them up for peanuts.
Or what about this, hahahahaha

Man am I glad that I was poor when these books first came out. Being 15 and not having a job probably saved me a bunch of money.

I gave up my paper route freshmen year of high school because I felt I was getting too old to be a paper boy... :littlesmile:

So I had it from when I was like 11-14. I didn't get my next job until I turned 17. I was a bum for a couple years.

Thank god for bumming money off of mom and dad to support a card and comic book habit all through my youth. :)

And I was wondering if you felt it necessary to outbid me on all the stuff I REALLY want. Like that nice Unity RED today that you got for a nice 60-odd something dollars. :P

It's hard to fathom that a Deathmate gold could have ever brought 50 bucks, even back in the day.

Was this supposed to be something like the flat Valiant chromiums or did someone just take the guts out of the comic? Either way this guy deserves a neg. Mark your calender Hobo.

Far as I can tell, it was a promo for Wolvie #50. The fact that he took the time to stick it in a bag and make it look (to me, at least) like a comic pretty much tells the story. Punk is fraudulant. The "you American are all alike" response from this Limey twit is really what put me in "I'm gonna get you sucka" mode. :x
