What's your Loch Ness Monster of collecting?

mischap123 · Jul 29, 2012

I thought it may be interesting to try and solve any myths out there. What is the card/set/item you've heard stories of but have never seen?

eg. Everyone's mate from Rarecollectibles once told me he knows a bloke who has a sealed box of 1963 or 1964 cards. I doubt anything that is said by him is true but I did wonder if it could be a possibility

Its possible but unlikely. Have not even seen an opened empty box of those.

I also have heard rumours of cases of 60's scanlens unopened through the years. I think its an urban myth though!

God help us if Rarecollectibles ever got a box of 63.
Surely boxes exist without owners even knowing what they have.

Yes in a lockup, also have uncut sheets from 70,74,75,76,and 77, wondering what value as I need to start value collection future of wife.
Yes meet the pig and he is really a scammer!,

Does the future wife want you to sell them? Get rid of the future wife because it sets a precedent. Next she'll ask you to remove your balls and put them in her hand bag!

Hope your paying your bill/rent for the storage

Is the story true about you buying them of a guy at the markets years back ?

footycardswaps · Oct 30, 2012

I recently had a half arsed bid on a unopened box of 1992 Regina cards, considering that there were only a handful of cards that collectors are after how the #$%^ can you avoid the temptation of opening up a box of 20 year old cards?.

I have been putting an unopened box and packets away for donkeys years, I never look at them, some people go away on holidays, do superannuation, buy houses, do banking,
etc. I have been collecting ever since I was in ist class in primary school.
I have to much stuff. But still collecting.
have started to offload some spare sets.
