Indeed, I mean, MC, isn't what you described Mint In Sealed Box?

OK, so if the contents are mint/unused and they are in the original box that would be mint in box (MIB). The seller states that the components inside have never been opened from their packaging. As far as I'm concerned that's a MIB toy. Sorry if you guys disagree.

the world of ungraded, still in package toys is a strange one- if you want to talk "splitting hairs" there are plenty of buyers out there who would freak that is was listed MIB and say "there is nothing mint about that box!" neglecting the fact that the drome itself is mint.

But mint in box isn't referring to the box. It's referring to the toy that is mint. MIMB is mint in mint box. I do agree that collecting boxed toys is a strange world though.

Heck, we had a guy a while back who was collecting sealed cases of figures, so we've seen weirder....

Whatever floats your boat!

Changing gears now. I will admit I know almost nothing about the comics. Is this legit: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Teenage-Muta...1#ht_500wt_949

I apologize if this is belongs to anybody here. I'm just a pessimist by nature and I've heard there were very few 1st prints.

**Jester** · 06-25-2012, 06:41 PM

Since it's graded, I'd assume it's real, since I'm sure the grading company wouldn't want a black eye for grading a fake....*shrugs*

I thought about that too. But when I zoom on the graded section it doesn't say 1st printing. But I don't know if it would say that anyway. I don't know anything about comic grading either.

Yeah, I was wondering if you meant, "Is this a 1st printing or one of the later print runs." That I'm even less sure of....

Glad I could help. Wait...

*MrPliggins* · 06-25-2012, 08:08 PM

CGC only marks the printing if it's a reprint. This is a legit 1st print. It doesn't have the "black speck" the 2nd printing has, or the 3rd printing's extra blood on the sword in the logo.

*mysterycolor* · 06-26-2012, 11:53 PM

not sure it is worth the 20.00 price tag- but this seller has a punch of different characters and they are really cute! http://www.ebay.com/itm/1994-TMNT-Te...item5d341cf8bb

Keychains are cool but 20$ for a piece is way to much i think.

What? That is an insane price for what seems like not too many figures.

SamRSmith · 06-27-2012, 01:48 PM
