Fun stuff, I don’t really like mystery boxes as I prefer to curate my collection but had they thrown in some bronze X-Men that would have been nice. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Dan! Yeah mystery boxes definitely aren't for everyone. Totally get the curation process as well. We definitely do that to an extent as well. And yeah I was really hoping for some Bronze Age stuff as well even some copper stuff would have been great. I have a decent run of the volume 1 stuff so it would have been nice to add to that
Hi Guys, congrats to the new family member and welcome Tubby. Great video, though without the slab the content of the box would not have been worth 100,00 USD. But even this slab is not worth because of signature is not Jim Lee but "only" Scott Williams. If I were you I would not by those Torpedo boxes, anymore.
Hey Frank! Those are some excellent points. And don't worry we definitely won't make a habit out of buying these for sure. Thank you so much for the support and love!
See a cat - click thumbs up. It's been probably 4 years since I've done any sort of mystery box. Honestly with CGC's new pricing the cost of grading a single signed book is about $97 on the absolute cheapest options including fees and shipping. So not a bad takeaway no matter what you get.
Yeah the CGC fees are just getting worse and worse. Especially with them now taking a percentage if the book is over a certain amount. That's a great way of looking at it for sure. At the end of the day we've got far worse boxes from Torpedo haha Thanks again brother!
A 9.6 on the CGC census is about 60 dollars, probably another 25 to 30 for the signature so about 85 to 90 plus the raws I'd say you break over to $125, not bad.
Sensing a theme with the cat names. :D Personally, I'm not a big fan of torpedo comics. Curious if you could send that in during a Jim Lee signing to have both signatures on it.
Yeah Torpedo is definitely hit or miss honestly. It's a big reason we stayed away for awhile but this one peeked our interest. And that's a great idea! I might have to see when Jim Lee is coming and see about sending it in

Yeah this one wasn't too bad! We've definitely done way worse with the Torpedo boxes haha
Rusty staples sounds like a punk band.
So is Crusty Nails.
Haha you're totally right 😂 if it's not taken yet it definitely should be!

Another guest host! Its like Saturday Night Live! Only its Wednesday...
Haha you know it! We just need to get some musical performances and we'll be all set 😂
I won a ultimate fallout 4 from a $5 torpedo comics reader mystery box.
That's awesome! That is a huge score! I think that's a big reason why people still buy boxes from Torpedo

Aww thanks brother! And you are very welcome 😊 We are definitely going for it. If the current pace keeps up though we may have a zoo by then end 😂
