I’m kind of surprised to see a dealer like Metro stooping so low to play this game.

A guy I work with who is into modern Marvels bought one of these at a con. He ended up with a high grade Black Cat Mystery #50. He didn’t know what it was. I tried to offer him full Overstreet for it. I think he got cold feet when he saw the price. Don’t know what he is going to do with it. What he really wanted was a modern Marvel with a Stan Lee sig!

So get him a modern Marvel with a Stan Lee sig and trade it!

Don't open it !!  Save it for the Christmas raffle

I don't have any problem with sellers offering mystery boxes, nor with buyers gambling on them. Who cares? Most of the youtube vids with them are just for kicks and views, fully knowing they aren't likely getting anything great.

We can't be too hard on the guy - mystery boxes were legal on the boards not that long ago.  They lasted quite a bit longer then I would have thought due to how frugal people are on here.

I’ve read posts here about Greggy’s mystery boxes, which are said to be quite generous and loaded with high quality material, not just full of drek. 

I did see one that looked quite impressive.

That Big Boy is worth more than all the Drek boxes Metro is selling! 

Yeah,I'd be super jazzed to get that.

I did enjoy my daliance "selling" mystery boxes when I was downsizing for a move to Europe. 

As I recall it was the cost of shipping a priority box got you... a priority box full of comics (sequential title) and graphic novels...

a mystery box can be good if the seller has decent stuff & communicates with the buyer

but if I got this Mystery waiting at my door I would be sad

I had a lot of fun putting together the mystery boxes I sold here. I did have one complaint, but that person seems to be a chronic complainer. I think I got almost $1,000 for my best one and that had a Frazzetta Snow Globe and a Schomburg Nedor CGC in it among many other things.  I'm currently selling 25 comics for $15 in a bundle. Nothing great but solid reading.

Yea - I remember yours being good stuff.  I liked it when dealers could offer blow out boxes which included an assortment of good books that retailed for about double the price of the box.  The books were not hot keys but when you can get a stack of good reading material that will sell eventually I was all over that stuff.

Sckao and RMA put together crazy good mystery boxes for last year's March Madness

My disappointment in this thread is palpable.

the only person who is going to get the big prize is someone from the sellers family, or one of his friends
