It may behoove you to check this out

There's a gargantuan amount of. Licensed Marvel products out there, and all for much less than a current Hobby Box price of Topps Chrome. I'm not saying these are better, I'm just providing information on Marvel Cards *Points at sub group name* feel free to add any that I've missed, like the Finding Unicorn boxes I just remembered!

I love the Pikachu dress up cards, and this one would be epic!

The /15 auto is the heavy lifter of the group but still not bad for a new set. Though I won't buy another one.

These turned out pretty good, that venom is my favorite

These are /2500 but there's others that are /1000, and even /700.

I've borrowed from various sources, hence why they can't be sold. Any requests, I'll see what I can do!

These are the different boxes available, both on AliExpress ($20-$40) or eBay ($40-$50). They are printed by Kayou and they have awesome foil cards. These are fully licensed by Marvel and can even be graded. The last 3 pictures are also Marvel and printed by Finding Unicorn, and contain numbered cards but cost around a hundred bucks. This is a great way to rip some packs (again!) for next to nothing compared to Topps. There's even some chase cards (MR, CR) that can be quite valuable, but these are mostly just for people who like to fill up binders with cool cards. I just ordered 3 different boxes myself.

I've always been a fan of the overseas Marvel sets, even though it's technically a game there's still a big checklist and chase cards in every set, and there's at least 8 that I'm aware of. If you've got little ones that love opening packs with you, or your just miss being able to open 20 packs in a box, maybe give Hero Battle a try. At these prices, it's at least a guaranteed enjoyable experience, even if it won't make you any money, ie "the way collecting used to be". Your call. AliExpress has the best prices but eBay sellers have them as well. I'll post the cards after the rip-a-thon.

As far as my limited knowledge of Pretend Boss cards, they seem to be correct. But that's what this sub is for, right?

u/jitsruto and u/electronic_way9201 I forgot to mention there's a blue and gold Ms. Marvel that's in the lot you two are splitting, so to make it fair I spun a wheel...

Despite the silly title I do have a theory: *️⃣*️⃣ vs⭐⭐ is the reason the 118 (gold stars) is far more valuable than the 108 (white stars) I presume

Congratulations to u/jitsrotu and u/electronic_way9201 they both correctly spotted the errors I created and will split the stack!

So I had a package "delivered" last Thursday, which I apparently signed for. Neither of those things happened. Instead what the delivery person did was take pictures of my package inside their own warehouse. You may have seen my post about it. Here's where it gets very odd. The time stamp for Out to Delivery is at 7:49, and then one minute later it was marked Delivered. My tracking apps (Track 17 and Aftership) confirm this, even the Caincao website confirms this. But NOT the AliExpress app. It only shows the 7:49 Out for Delivery one as the last status. Why would they do that? Because if it's marked Delivered I can open a case of "Um, no it fukin isn't", but if it's in progress, it buys them another 14 days of not helping me get my refund. It's just a Wemby Poster for $25, yet they are protecting their money like Smaug the dragon. Disgusting tactics, but hey, it's just business right?

I have to credit u/seriusblacklives for inspiring me to make this satirical post, his " I just pulled this, is it good?" was fantastic
