I hear that!... I've spent so much cash on boosters just to see what I might get that it's sickening. I have ended up pulling two chases but now have a ton of R's that I can't get rid of. Anyone want any Rares from BatB? I'll trade them for almost anything, (and sits waiting for the jokes to roll in)



Seriously I'll trade almost all of them for a crisis Kyle Rayner in good condition. And theres alot

I'm very surprised what OverPower cards go for now. Years ago I sold a lot of 10,000 of them for next to nothing. I still have a complete set plus a bunch of extras. I was putting together second sets to sell off and sold an IQ set awhile back. I should have held onto it and tried to sell it now because I'm sure that I could have gotten more for it then I did. I think I still have a few extra expansions and they are only missing a card or two if that. OverPower was a great game, but I can't believe that people are buying it up the way they are now. I sold an extar holo Ra's al Ghul for about $75 a few years back. That's another one I should have held on to.

I won a Hal Jordan LE a the local Legacy Pre-Release. I alreaady had one, so I traded it for one of the uniques in the set-- Zod, I think (certainly not one of the "Big Three" of Ares, GL, or Flash). I had no idea what he was going for at the time, but when I check on ebay later that day, I saw it was about $50. Ouch!

great thread btw
way back in the day at my shop when Ultimate set Thor was still fetching big Dollars I would do anything for him.... So I traded a Count Naferia for Ultimates Thor straight up..... not sure if that was a good or bad one

That was a good trade.
Still is, in fact.

You got a hell of a deal. That other guy should get on here and post this story here instead of you. I think he got hosed.

his reasoning for the trade at the time was ultimate thor was a worthless piece that was to hard to use

The Chuck Norris of Heroclix was too hard to use?
You hear something new every day I guess...

I feel your pain. I traded my overpower collection too and it include almost every Marvel card made. I got a Thorbuster and SotS Surfer out of the deal. Shipping was $60 since it was a international trade (1st mistake). I was reluctant but the guy seemed really happy about it and it was just collecting dust in my closet, I felt it was the right thing to do (2nd mistake. No good deed goes unpunished). I left the trade opened ended and allowed him to judge the collection and trade me what he thought it was worth as long as it included Thorbuster and SotS (3rd mistake). He messages me sometime later and tells me he was going to sell just the duplicates for like $250. The collection was probably worth close to 1k.

I've never made a trade that I, personally, felt was bad. From a pure $$$ stand point, though, I've done several trades that would probably have some raise their eyebrows.

For example, I never really buy any DC sets. I just don't. The occasional sealed event to support my venue and that's it. But I will also admit that there have been some pretty awesome feats, BFCs, and special objects in the DC sets. And back before print and play, I have quite willingly traded figures (even the occasional SR/Unique) to get the DC cardboard I wanted. And I am not talking about ICWO, either (I actually pulled on at the Marque event, so I didn't need to hunt that down)... just stuff like the reprinted Pounce or Compel and such.

But I was happy with those trades, and that's all that really matters to me.

Ouch!!! I feel your pain on that. At least you realized where you made the mistakes and learn from them. I still don't understand why OverPower is going for so mcuch these days. Are people just collecting it or is there some secret underground OverPower ring somewhere that I don't know about?
