Look what I found under the stairs!

Postby RoboFist » Fri Aug 14, 2015 2:51 pm

So while I've been collecting Pops for about three years now, I haven't started saving the boxes until fairly recently. Back in the day, I never thought that the trading market would be this enormous, and I was strictly collecting them for the purposes of displaying them out of the box. I remember buying a Two-Face from a tiny mom and pop store three years ago (back when he was vaulted and still impossible to find) and ripping him out of the box and chucking it immediately. Had I known how much Two-Face was worth at the time...

So while I still pitch common boxes, I try to keep my exclusive boxes in pristine condition. Unfortunately, this means diddly squat for the exclusives whose boxes I threw out years ago.

Well, lo and behold, Past Steve must've known that these stupid boxes would be important, because I just stumbled across these while cleaning out under my stairs:

I don't know how much Bloody Gauze Eyepatch Governor is worth these days, but I'm ecstatic now that I have Zombie Merle's box again! I'm sure he's not worth that much anymore, but maybe I could get a decent trade out of him now that I have a box to put him in.

30029

Just such a crazy and random discovery. I was a dumb 22-year-old when I first started collecting these things, and I still somehow managed to secretly preserve two fairly-rare boxes.

I'm not sure why I'm sharing this with you all haha

Great story, and congrats on finding those cool boxes :-) The prices on WD pieces seem to have come down in the last couple of months, I just bought the bloody bandaged Governor recently on Amazon for 32 bucks (I just checked and it's still available for that). I bought Zombie Merle off of Ebay for 75 bucks about 3 weeks ago. So they may not be worth buckets of money, but they do have some decent value and they are very cool pieces :-)
