When that came out I was in the back of the car playing on family vacations and I learned to play cut throat style in order to beat the game. at the risk of sounding like a noob, cause I am and haven't played a serious game in a while I'm dying to ask: what happens once all properties are bought up but no one owns a monopoly of any of the same colored spaces? Do players start negotiating trades with cash incentives? do people start merging and consolidate wealth and properties? what happens if no one can agree on a trade/exchange?

HA who also does cards metro does not, and could offer "no charge" in house grading in return for consigning the items to their company giving a leg up to their competitions. It is a natural extension of their business in addition look for HA to add a restoration company or expand the "other" guy and offer those services. Combined with the best website hands down, best catalog hands down, that would make a might trio for their competition to over come. They could restore, grade, slab and sell the book in house.....tough to beat Edited May 16, 2018 by Mmehdy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmehdy Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 (edited) Probably this case will settle before trial as most civil cases do, in this instance it will be interesting to see how this effects the other auction houses.. In the last Ha Signature Auction this month there was notable absence of the the "other" guys books, very few in the entire auction.

Reveal hidden contents Boy, did I get sucked into the vortex something fierce . At Wonder Con two years ago they had a lot of submissions, so I cannot see how a company who had plenty of work actually was bankrupt....again, I suspect that Metro had some type of option to purchase a % of the "other guy" at a a fixed or reduced price, hence the sale to Becket at a greater price...Metro has been around a lot longer than them, and to force them to file a suit shows me the true character of the "the other guy"..I will never use them to support an injustice to Metro or any other creditor. In my opinion, and that what it is, I see auction results that favor CGC over the "other Guy" , and just because they changed owners..you are still dealing with the same characters who made this possibly, and according Metro questionable business move.

It must be worse than we know about....If Metro wins, it is gonna be a real mess, I would not surprised if Metro buys the "Other Guy" outright as part of settlement.
