OK, please explain "the Altoid method."

I'll let Hobo explain....
Dear god, forget I asked, then... Hobo's explanation can only scare and worry me.

Lawyers...so easy even a caveman can do it!

OK, Altoid method:

Take an Altoid (or any sort of mint) and place it next to a VG+ range book. Take a blurry picture and post on the 'Bay as a NEAR MINT copy. When unhappy buyer complains, send them a copy of the image and be sure to point out that the book is indeed not only Near Mint, it's actually right next to it.

NOW STOP PM'ing ME!

I saw that one, but I have all the ones in the auction already. That was a great price you got 'em for too. I've seen just one go for what you paid for the entire lot.

DJ, is that a complete set?

I have been getting many "best deals" .... but this is one of the books I wanted from my childhood..... I remember having this in like 2nd or 3rd grade!

I just got it in the mail tonight

I have a couple more of these to get...... I am stoked!

BTW..... besides for a small price sticker rip..... it is in GREAT condition! Better than the one I had as a kid!

Wow. That's a great price for all of those. But I'm confused as to what the "Set of 8 #7" means.

They had a lot of different action figures for sale, all in lots. These were the only Turok ones, though.

I'm no DJ, but I believe it is a complete set. ...& it was a helluva deal. Those box sets are not easy to get.

Nope, believe it or not there are at least two more Diorama figures that I know of.
